  1. Plugins sorting and metadata

    ArnoldSchwarzenegger replied to ArnoldSchwarzenegger's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Hey, guys. Thanks for the replies! I see. Maybe the learning curve for the Reader is a bit steep for me anyways. Given how many plugins there are, it would take longer than it should. I guess I'll just keep the installed lots to a minimum and work from there, as suggested. Oh, yeah, one other thing. When browsing related topics, I've come across something called the DAMN manager. Are you familiar with it?

  2. Plugins sorting and metadata

    ArnoldSchwarzenegger posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Hello, guys! I apologize in advance if this issue has already been covered somewhere else. It's been a while and I'm starting to miss SimCity! Over time, I put together a pretty large plugins folder, with lots from all around. In my folder, I try to keep them sorted (i.e. utilities, education, industrial) so I know what I have and what to install, but that doesn't mean much when I'm actually playing the game. Most lots I installed come all set and pretty when I find them on the menu, but some don't display icons, the author's name, the building description, monthly cost/income etc. I occasionally notice the sounds associated with the lot are missing or could be changed to something more appropriate. Although I came across many useful threads explaining how to add icons and metadata (is this the right word?), I wonder if there is a way to easily sort and edit a large number of plugins. So far, I've used LEProp to do it without messing with Ilives Reader, which is a bit beyond my capabilities right now. At the current rate, however, given how many plugins there are, it will take a long time. Would you guys share your experience with this? Do you use another tool to keep your in-game menus and items clean and organized? Perhaps I'm worrying too much and should just play the game, but maybe there's an easier way out and I thought I'd ask you guys! As always, thank you so much. ArnoldSchwarzenegger

    Just did. Thank you so much!

  4. SC4 Devotion: Official Advice and Site Information Thread

    ArnoldSchwarzenegger replied to Moerp's topic in Community Goings-on

    Hello @Tarkus I seem to have a problem with the account I made at the SC4Devotion Lot Exchange. After a LONG time, I accessed the account hoping to delete it, but couldn't find any options under the Profile tab. I've tried to create an SC4Devotion account to get some support, but I can't seem to get past the registration page. I'm really unfamiliar with the site, since I've only used occasionally to download some lots, a long time ago. Do you guys know anything about this? Thanks!

  5. Starting new city causes CTD

    ArnoldSchwarzenegger replied to ArnoldSchwarzenegger's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    DILLON! You found it, you brilliant genius. The patch totally slipped my mind. All cities now opening and working like a charm, with all plugins back in action. That's it. All this because of a small oversight. No wonder this game is still around after two decades. 2003 Maxis couldn't have asked for better fans. Thank you, guys. =)

  6. Starting new city causes CTD

    ArnoldSchwarzenegger replied to ArnoldSchwarzenegger's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    Makes total sense. Sure! My laptop runs 64-bit Windows, with 10 GB usable RAM (using between 3 and 4 GB right after startup). Available disk memory is about 300 out of 930 GB. It's brand new, no older than a couple of months and running really well. I moved my plugins folder straight from the old machine. It's been a while since I played, but I know these were trusted add-ons that I keep usually organized. Mostly non-lot additions, since I haven't taken these out of the downloads folder yet. I've also just installed the new NAM (version 39, right?), but haven't really tried it. Looks nice! Thanks for the tips!

  7. Starting new city causes CTD

    ArnoldSchwarzenegger replied to ArnoldSchwarzenegger's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    Yeah, that's the smart way to do it. The folder's big enough that an individual would be headache-inducing. I guess I'll be away for a bit, but I'll give updates soon. And I'll find that damn fly. Thanks!

  8. Starting new city causes CTD

    ArnoldSchwarzenegger replied to ArnoldSchwarzenegger's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    Yes! That did the trick. It appears all cities can be opened again. So, there's an intruder on board. What do you think? Why wasn't it an issue before? BTW, thanks again for all the time you guys are pouring into this. =)

  9. Starting new city causes CTD

    ArnoldSchwarzenegger replied to ArnoldSchwarzenegger's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    The region is created successfully, but the same thing happens when opening any city within. Well, I had some tree controllers installed, but they were there before and are still here. Weird. No seaports yet. Bummer.

    No luck. Not a single city gets past the loading screen.

  11. Starting new city causes CTD

    ArnoldSchwarzenegger replied to ArnoldSchwarzenegger's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    Okay, this is really odd. I've tried to open other cities, in various regions, including default ones. The game CTD on every attempt. The plugins folder is the same as last time, hell, the computer too. I wonder what could be causing this. Yes, I rigged it in the SC4 Launcher. I'm trying again.

  12. Starting new city causes CTD

    ArnoldSchwarzenegger replied to ArnoldSchwarzenegger's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    Hey, sorry for taking so long. It's weird. I tried to check the map's height again, but the game's back to crashing before opening the city. So I went and fired up the reader. There are no conflicting instances. I'm a bit puzzled, now. I've tried this before with and without the two mods I talked about, which weren't even technically terrain mods, if I understand correctly. Regardless, let me try again.

  13. Starting new city causes CTD

    ArnoldSchwarzenegger replied to ArnoldSchwarzenegger's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    @CorinaMarie Nice to see you! You're everywhere. That's exactly the case with the mod that I had. The reader only reveals textures. Really? The altitude adjustment? That would be great. I guess that's that! I couldn't find the snow mod I was using in that list you gave me, or anywhere on the STEX for that matter. I just don't remember where I got it from! =P Anyways, I can't thank you both enough. You make all this look so easy! Hasta la vista.

  14. Starting new city causes CTD

    ArnoldSchwarzenegger replied to ArnoldSchwarzenegger's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    Okay, that worked! All affected cities can now be accessed. I verified that the top spot on a city is about 680. I really don't know if that's within the expected range. This remains an issue, unfortunately. I opened the mod on the reader and couldn't locate the exemplars. Maybe I'm missing a point, cause this is a bit new to me. Those were the only terrain mods I have installed, and I removed them to see if the problem was still there. Before your height increase file, higher altitude cities were still CTD, even though terrain-related mods weren't there anymore. Could the files simply not be there? Sorry again, I'm showing my ignorance on the matter.

    You've been exceedingly helpful. I'll be back with some results.
