Hello everyone, Who's behind simtropolis' banner where we see a snapshot of a region ? I alwayys recognise it as I've seen it somehere in some City journal if I'm not mistaken. Would love to know. Thanks.

Wow Thank you @Cyclone Boom and props to @CorinaMarie for the region. What a sight to look at. I always like looking at vast built regions. They give you ideas on how to develop one. I'll sleep at ease now, knowing where the banner comes from hahaha. !

I don't think so.

Η διαμόρφωση του χάρτη σου θα έκανε τον μεγαλύτερο Έλληνα γλύπτη να ζηλέψει!

Ο δενδροχειριστής που χρησιμοποιείς δημιουργεί αυτόματα το δάσος με αυτές τις ωραίες «χαράδρες» ή το κάνεις χειροκίνητα; Ο δικός μου προσθέτει ποικιλία ανάλογα με το έδαφος και φαίνεται αρκετά καλός, αλλά θέλω να βεβαιωθώ ότι δεν μου ξεφεύγει κάτι.

No problem. What language do you speak, I can translate !

Epic region ! Quick question, the tree controler you're using automatically creates the forest that way with those nice looking "crevasses" or do you do it manually ? While my tree controller does create variety according to my terrain and it looks quite nice, however I would like to make sure I'm not missing something.

I'm all for anything. The mod itself is to die for. But if I had to choose, then option B is the better choice imo. It’s way more inclusive for modders, easier to fit different architectural styles without unnecessary restrictions and covers a much broader geographical range, including Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and different Asian regions. It’s also just simpler and more flexible. Instead of being locked into specific historical timeframes, modders have more freedom to categorize buildings in a way that makes sense. This means it’s future-proof and can easily adapt as more content gets created. If the goal is a system that works for everyone and allows for the most creative possibilities, I'll be voting option B.

This is definitely important information to pass along! It would be a great addition to @Null 45's mod readme file to note that UI skin mods, like UI Blue Skin (z___scoty_blue-skin_000), are not compatible and will cause issues with the functionality of the mod. This would help other users avoid similar troubleshooting headaches.

@CorinaMarie @Kel9509 Finally, I discovered the issue! It was caused by a UI mod I was using called UI Blue Skin (z___scoty_blue-skin_000). This file was interfering with everything. After deleting it, everything started working correctly. Now we know that UI skin mods are not compatible with this setup. I'm so happy it’s finally resolved—thank you all for the support! ❤️

@Kel9509 It says : SC4MoreBuildingStyles v3.2.0 Installed the building select window patch. Installed the lot configuration manager patch. Installed the building style algorithm patch.

What ! I'm really surprised it works. Then something is wrong. Here are the files in Documents/Simcity4/Plugins directory.

@CorinaMarie 1. Yes I used Null's version from his github. 2. Here it is : [BuildingStyles] 0 = 0x2000,N,Chicago 1890 1 = 0x2001,N,New York 1940 2 = 0x2002,N,Houston 1990 3 = 0x2003,N,Euro Contemporary 4 = 0x00000004,N,Mediterranean 5 = 0x00000005,N,Japanese 6 = 0x00000006,N,Cyberpunk 7 = 0x00000007,N,Soviet 8 = 0x00000008,N,Latin America 9 = 0x00000009,N,European W2W 10 = 0x0000000A,N,American W2W 11 = 0x0000000B,N,Middle East 12 = 0x0000000C,N,Art Nouveau 13 = 0x0000000D,N,Hong Kong 14 = 0x0000000E,N,Tropical 15 = 0x0000000F,N,North Europa 16 = 0x00000010,N,New Style 1 17 = 0x00000011,N,New Style 2 18 = 0x00000012,N,New Style 3 19 = 0x00000013,N,New Style 4 20 = 0x00000014,N,New Style 5 21 = 0x00000015,N,New Style 6 22 = 0x00000016,N,New Style 7 23 = 0x00000017,N,New Style 8 24 = 0x00000018,N,New Style 9 25 = 0x00000019,N,New Style 10 26 = 0x0000001A,N,New Style 11

@CorinaMarie Sorry to bother you once again. The old UI still loads with only the default four Maxis styles are visible. What I’ve Done So Far: Placed the required files in the correct locations: SC4MoreBuildingStyles.dll, SC4MoreBuildingStyles.ini, and BuildingStyles.ini are in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Plugins\ I also tried placing them in Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\, but no change. The log file (SC4MoreBuildingStyles.log) is being created. This confirms that the .dll is loading correctly. However, my custom styles are not showing up in the UI. Updated BuildingStyles.ini to match my assigned style ID My BuildingStyles.ini currently looks like this: Tested with CoriBoom’s UI template (Z_CoriBoom’s 32 Slot Building Styles UI - v0.45.dat). The UI still shows only the original four styles. The additional styles do not appear. What I Need Help With: Does my BuildingStyles.ini look correct? How do I ensure that the game is actually using the new UI template and not defaulting to the original? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, From what I understand CoriBoom's 32 slot UI file is supposed to be replace the OG UI without me having to do it manually in iLiveReader. Therefore, I’ve been trying to get Null's SC4MoreBuildingStyles.dll to work alongside CoriBoom’s 32 Slot UI, but I’m facing some issues. Here’s what I’ve done so far and the problems I’m running into. What I’ve Done: Installed the required files: SC4MoreBuildingStyles.dll in Documents\SimCity 4\ SC4MoreBuildingStyles.ini and BuildingStyles.ini in Documents\SimCity 4\ Z_CoriBoom’s 32 Slot Building Styles UI.dat in Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\ Verified the BuildingStyles.ini file: It contains multiple custom style IDs. Checked in iLive Reader: The .dat file contains extra checkboxes. Launched SimCity 4: The game still only shows the default 4 building styles (Chicago, New York, Houston, and European). None of the additional checkboxes appear in the Building Style Control UI. Issues & Questions: Why isn’t the modified UI overriding the default UI? The UI .dat file is in Plugins, but the game still loads the old UI. Does SC4MoreBuildingStyles.dll require any special conditions to activate? The .dll is in Documents\SimCity 4\, but how can I confirm if it’s actually loaded? Does BuildingStyles.ini need any extra formatting? Is there a way to force SimCity 4 to recognize the new UI? Itried renaming the .dat file with a "Z" to load last. Would placing it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Plugins\ help? I’d appreciate any guidance on what might be going wrong. Thanks in advance!

Can you please assign some IDs for me? User: amrdonna77 Style Type: Public IID and Private IID Numbers of Styles: 16 Public IID and 16 Private IID Best regards, amrdonna77

Have you found a fix ? I'm at the exact same situation as you.

Awesome

This is easily the best/ realistic looking city out there. You've successfully recreated the layout and urban sprawl of a European city and it's a joy to look at. Also your're a master of diagonal building in this game, very impressive. Which diagonal buildings did you use ?
