Good evening, I will work on this street u talking about and try to make the railway a bit more simple. Very useful to get an external look on your own work. I took a look to the second picture and i agree, this part is quite nice (without throwing flowers to myself). I'll post more views within a moment. JF

Hello all, here are some pictures of the town i'm working on. Thx to all wise players, administrators, programmers... for their help and share of good advices. JF

Hello Raymond7cn, First i thank u for your help. I re checked the 3 dependencies, i had them but by precaution i replaced them (MTP SuperPack, Megaprops CP vol01 and vol02). Then i re downloaded Oasis Car wash and replaced it too. This time, in the game menu there was no icon showing for it , (or i didn't find it) but i could plop it with the extra cheat LotPlop where i found an icon. I plopped it beside the Car dealers i already had (Toyota, Metropolitan Ford, Nissan, Isuzu...) and it's ok. Thank u. Second point, i'm neither a lotter, modder nor a programmer, at most just a handyman. I hardly succeeded to install LE, LEprop, SC4PIM and ILives, my OS is Windows 10 (x64) and it was not easy to run those old programs on this recent system. My version of the game is 1.1.641.0, i recently installed NAM 41, it works ok, my plugins folder is 3,5Go. My graphic card is a GForce GTX 750 Ti. I use Cleanitol, and HCC Lite to avoid conflicts; and i make regular backups of Plugins folder, in separate directories. As i said "Strange informations" came from iLives, it said that my computer has insufficient memory???, (as if 16Go of Ram was not enough, but maybe); the Lot Editor, it, at a point warns me that it's going to stops, and it stops effectively... I know that i have a long way before handling correctly those programs, beginning is reading the tutorials for each... I would like, one day, to use JRJ Caterpilar 0x50b85b0f alone as a ploppable lot, also use jes CoalBunker 0x9917ab7c alone as a ploppable lot ....etc... and so many items that are out of my reach for the moment. Cy and thx again JF

Hello, I just downloaded Oasis Car Wash and i cannot plop it. It does not even appear in In game menu. I don't know how to work with any editors, (anyway none of them is working so well on my config _ Windows 10 x64_ , i'm talking about LE, LEProp, PIM, and iLives, they all crash or give strange informations). So i tried with the basic cheats BuildingPlop and LotPlop, i saw it but when i wanted to plop it causes a CTD. My question is what is the problem with that small (2X4) commercial building. Jeffito

Hello, i just opened LE, and i'm already lost, facing two difficulties; I realize that i don't really understand what u mean by " "hovering the top-most entry in the game menu..." and i don't remember at all which icons were in the empty spaces of the menu. More, LE doesn't show each lot, one by one, in the beginning its ok but quickly it become a long list of " CSS.....or HI....". Should i use SC4 Data Node instead? The advantage is it gives the name of all items. Shortly, it seems very complicated to me. Thx anyway Jeffito

Ty, i'll do this asap i 've got some free time. I'll let u know if it's fixed. Jeffito

Hello, as u can see in the uploaded image, the re are holes or gaps between items of the menu. It happens in several sub menus of my game, i put this image just as an example. Is there someting to do to solve this. Because the annoying thing is, it moves the correct name of items, and to recover i have to down far forward and come back with the mouse. More, some items (like church ou "Lieu de Culte" en français, TLC Transfer yard too) appear several time in the same submenu and eventually in others one at the same time. I made a check up inside plugin directory, visually and with HcCloner, and there are not any "same-name", "full clones" or whatever. Otherwise, all is clear, phantom slider is magically gone, i manage textures with dataviews, and i 'm now used to live with the unknown origin spawning little boats automata (which can go through anything even SNM Submarines, sometimes i wish i could use torpedos..... Seriously game is still ok and the help is very wise on simtropolis...

Hello, I still don't understand how and why the problem resolved suddenly. (itself ?!) Phantom slider does come to haunt my fundings, and that's the most important. I thank u all obviously. JF

Hello Cori, Sorry but yesterday i didn't put the pictures in the good order. Here it is. And this morning when i launch the game every funding looks and stays correct. From here I don't touch anything and i crush my fingers. ;-)) JF

Hello: Answers to your questions: 1: If you mean how many cities are affected by this bug, i would say only Port Dudley. I started another city, in the same region, and each parameter was ok, and (most of it) stayed ok when i pushed the game at max speed. 2: I didn't modify any parameter with neither LE nor iLivesReader, i don't know how to use them, (and i can't even install properly the reader, dunno why). but i remember that recently i adjusted the budgets, manually with the sliders, i wanted to spend a lot for this town, you saw this city is very very rich; (Thx Somy Vat) . 3: Lots that may cause the bug could be the JRJ Maritime transit Control Tower, (the one with inscription A Coruna), i had it in the plugins but i plopped it recently, and i saw that this lot has his own spending budget, that can be fixed with a slider. But, the surprise comes here: i launched Port Dudley, around 18H45 Pm today, the budget of public services was very low, AND the budget of Health and Education were both in full red (to 0). I thought well this time , my city is definitely dying. Ten minutes later: All has return to normal full and solid green, i didn't believe it, i pushed the game in speed, it stayed ok, i saved and i took a picture. JF

Hello, Well, i had to focus at max while reading u. Do i have to understand that i must be patient and wait u completely master "Solution 3"? If this is the case, No problem, i'll wait, putting the game on pause doesn't prevents me to play. Just hoping a fourth problem doesn't occur. I have had "Water Bug", "Spawning boats bug", and now "Phantom Slider Bug", which will be next....? JF

Hello, Sorry, it's me again with another problem; now i can no longer adjust the spending for the police budget. As soon as the game is running, within the dataviews monthly spendings, in the Public Services, the cursor for police gets back systematically to 0. (Firemen budget and justice budget stay ok) I renewed all police stations, all gendarmerie stations, no result. Security in my town gets very problematic and the policemen themselves are in the streets protesting. What's happening? (if u need a picture of the problem i can make one) JF

Ty SIM-ple Jack, the patch which rcs204 made removed all the automata's, included hang gliders. But all the others (slightly biggers) automata's are still here on the water. I think they are not generated by MaxisMarina (reward). As u said, either hang gliders or little boats..., those are really harmless annoyances, i know. If the hard binary method doesn't bring solution I probably continue to play even if their showing up is visually bothering. This SimCity 4 game brings its lot(s) of pleasure and eventually disapointment. Fortunately, after all this years, i always find people, focused, experimented, helping.... JF

Hello, before using the hard binary method, i'm gonna try your way (and by chance i like chocolate too!). You are right i didn't describe correctly the MaxisMarina lot, it's like u say a 1X6 lot (and not very pleasant looking); but we are talking about the same thing. The patch u made has correctly suppress the littles boats in the sea tiles. (but not the hang gliders) I go for a little walk out, and coming back i'll start bulldozing and observing. I'll make a copy of the town before starting. Good afternoon JF

Ok, SIM-ple Jack, i used control box, but no result. Hang gliders still glide. let me know about your tile with an overload. Good nite JF
