How to prevent Ctrl+S for saving?
The Angry Convert replied to The Angry Convert's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Excuse my late answer. Well, in my opinion, the mod should disable both ctrl+S and ctrl+alt+S, now that the latter doesn't update the region thumbnail (which I'd find catastrophic also). Some people however might like having a quick save, so for them, the latter might be suitable (I'd rather not have it though). But in that case, the thumbnail needs to be upgraded for them as well. I don't think anybody would like a false thumbnail. With that said, thank you for also disabling the latter, now that it would've eventually caught up with me as well. -
How to prevent Ctrl+S for saving?
The Angry Convert replied to The Angry Convert's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
I just tested this mod that you created for me just now, and it worked. I can't be grateful enough, Cori. You really should make a mod page for it and not let it be just a file on this post. I find it to be one of the very most important mods for SC, period. -
I just recently now saved my game by accident, by pressing ctrl + S thinking I would plop up a school (realized the next second that it was ctrl + K). As soon as I pressed S, a small window in the middle of the screen came up saying "game has been saved", giving me no choice in the matter as to be sure I wanted to save it. I haven't played SC for a long time (played frequently during 2020/early 2021), and I was just trying a few new mods on a default in-game city (in the region Berlin to be exact), so fortunately, nothing severe happen. But this means that I spent all this time on a serious project, not knowing I could've completely ruined it any given second, just by pressing S instead of K or any other letter. I often fast-forwarded a few years planning ahead, only to go back to the last stop now knowing what to do next. I find this unacceptable. I thought ctrl + S only applied for Microsoft Word, Excel and other similar programs. I have no memory of it ever applying to a game. Anyway, it totally should not be there, period. I find it utterly threatening to serious projects. Perhaps there's a mod fixing it, much like the mod warning me about saving the game right at the same time as leaving it (that one's been very useful).

Can I run SC4 on Windows 11?
The Angry Convert replied to The Angry Convert's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Thanks all of you for your replies. The way I see it, SC4 will very likely, and probably more likely in the future, work on Win11. That being said, I'm also free to keep Win10 for a good number of more years, and that's what I prefer so far. -
I've noticed that there are plenty of standard lots (residental etc) missing in Lot Editor. Can anyone explain why and what to do about it? After that, I'd like to find out how to change max residents on a lot. Some are way over-populated, and the neighborhood architecture doesn't fit well with the population size and/or density. I have Windows 10 and bought SC4 on GOG in spring 2020. The game works just fine and so do numerous mods. I haven't used LE except for checking out what I can do with it, only to find out that probably half of the standard lots are missing.

Traffic Simulator Configuration Tool doesn't work
The Angry Convert replied to The Angry Convert's topic in NAM & Transit Networks
@twalsh102 It has 60 files and 10 folders. -

The Angry Convert replied to The Angry Convert's topic in NAM & Transit Networks
Thank you very much @z1. There's one problem however; I can't find any Data-folder nor any TSCT-conf file in the Program folder. Thank you also @twalsh102. Unless this goes any further, this is the end of it for me. I'm otherwise happy anyway with SC4 and NAM. I just simply wanted to see if TSCT works. -
Traffic Simulator Configuration Tool doesn't work
The Angry Convert replied to The Angry Convert's topic in NAM & Transit Networks
Thank you for your response. At first I checked "Run as Admin", which in itself seemed to work. Unfortunately, that didn't work all the way when it came to using TSCT. Then I went on to check the log at TSCT and found this. I also found the Traffic Plugin Z file in the Documents folder. However, I didn't find it in TSCT's Program x86 folder. I found some other files in there that I perhaps should copy and transfer to Documents. But then the question is: What files exactly should I transfer? And do I then have to replace the original files in Program? -

The Angry Convert replied to The Angry Convert's topic in NAM & Transit Networks
Whte_rbt, you really should've explained what I should do if I am an admit, and if I'm not. Not just simply ask if I'm an admin with no follow-up. Your reply hasn't been any helpful at all this far, and frankly, it would've been better to not reply at all given that you haven't really said anything. But anyway, I forgot to mention that this little window in the middle pops up everytime I start TSCT. I have to add that "Mass Transit Usage" and "Base Network Capacity" both immediately switch to "Medium" as soon as I click OK. -

You mean computer admin? Yeah, I think so. -
Traffic Simulator Configuration Tool doesn't work
The Angry Convert posted a topic in NAM & Transit Networks
I have SC4 on Windows 10, bought at GOG.com, and NAM and numerous other mods added. It all works just fine. However, when I just now tried to change mass transit usage and base network capacity (both from medium to high), there comes up a small window saying "Error deleting file(s). SimCity4 is probably running. At first I turned off Gog at the bootloaders at msconfig and Norton Internet Security, and restarted the computer, but TSCT still doesn't work. -
Can I run SC4 on Windows 11?
The Angry Convert replied to The Angry Convert's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
I forgot to add that I have numerous mods that are 10+ years old and completely un-upgraded since then, but yet they've worked just fine on both computers. But besides that, I'm still sceptical that the game will work on Win11. Anyway, it feels unnecessary to take the risk since I'm happy with the computer thus far. -
Currently I have a Windows 10. I bought my first 10 in early 2019 and then a new one in early 2021 after the first one broke down. It was mad slow from the beginning actually, could barely scroll Facebook and Instagram. This second one has worked just fine. It also went just fine running SC4 on both computers (besides speed on the first one), and then transferring all my data from SC4 from the first to the second, after I bought SC4 at GOG in early 2020. Now I've been given the option to install Windows 11 on this computer, all for free. There's only one problem really: Is it possible to run SC4 on Windows 11? Is it possible to transfer current SC4-data (cities, regions, mods etc) and keep running it on Win11? Or will I have to start the whole game over, or even worse, won't I be able to run the game at all? Does anybody know about this? Does anybody have any experience of this? Windows 11 is brand new I know. That's why I'm sceptical that SC4 will work on it, or that anybody has experience of whether it does or not.

Zoning residential areas by income
The Angry Convert replied to ollysteph's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
If anybody sees this response 7 years later, I just a found a mod I think would solve the problem for you. It sure did for me. I found it in this thread, where there are more instructions and personal reviews on the mod. WARNING: This mod is NOT compatable with CAM. In this thread there's also another mod called "No kick out", although I prefer not using it. WARNING: This mod is NOT compatable with CAM neither, if I don't remember the list wrong. -
Wealthy Sims in low-desirability areas & vice versa. Why?
The Angry Convert replied to The Angry Convert's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
In "Similar content" below I found this thread. And in there I found this mod. This mod solved the problem for me, but thanks for the tip anyway.
