Update to everyone interested and helping me with the issue: I have totally reinstalled everything for the game from the ground up, and I no longer seem to be getting this problem anymore. So, I am not actually quite sure what was going on, perhaps corruption somewhere in a file I originally had. Thanks for all the help though in showing me where to look and other troubleshooting information!

Thanks for all the tips and information guys. I am busy getting a new computer ready to go and configured, which of course means redoing some initial setup for the game as well. And this is all on top of a high workload with normal life for the next few days. I'll check back in and give you all an update when I have some more time towards the end of the week.

Yes, I already have that mod unfortunately. I have been experimenting with possible mod conflicts now and the issue appears to be related to the CAM 3.0 CAM-Controller because when I remove those files from my plugins folder, the issue goes away. So I am really confused. Is there something special I need to do after installing CAM 3.0 with the new package manager or other dependencies? Thoughts??

Hi all, I have eagerly been getting back into the game with the new package manager and have lots of new mods installed. I am quite happy with all the performance tweaks I have been able to make and everything seems to be working extremely well now. However, I do have one annoying issue. Please see the attached image. Sometimes, when I plop very specific buildings like power sources, water, and in some cases, tunnels through mountains, I get what appears to be a graphical glitch where there are holes of some sort if I plop such an object on steep terrain. Any idea what is going on here and any possible fixes? I am using a dedicated Nvidia GPU and rendering in hardware mode, so I am wondering if it is a graphics problem. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks so much for all the information and guidance. This is exactly what I wanted to hear!

Hello all, I am very excited to get back into playing again after learning about the new package manager and how it greatly simplifies the modding process. I also am trying some new things I haven't tried before over the last several years when I actively played the game as a youngster. One of those thing is the CAM mod. I haven't used this before but wish to finally give it a try. Here is where I am torn - I love the idea of more growth stages and other re-balances, but I also love agriculture and ensuring that that feature works properly given the fact that the original vanilla agriculture system was never designed very well. It is my understanding that CAM isn't easily compatible with SPAM, so that rules out me using SPAM again as I have in the past. Then I ran into this thinking it was exactly what I needed: ...only to find out that it only improves the agriculture simulation without providing the other CAM benefits. So I ended up installing the main CAM 3.0 - CAM controller mod below: My question is, does this main version of CAM also have the critical fixes for agriculture or are those excluded in this main CAM version for some reason? If these fixes are excluded, what are my other options for improving agriculture in the game in addition to using CAM? And actually, while I am on the topic, what are some more mod recommendations for agriculture more generally (buildings, mods, etc.). Edit: I now also see that this may not have been the best place to post this. Let me know if I should move/cross-post somewhere else. Thanks!

Thanks for all the information. That is a good idea. I had never heard of "quick save." That is going to be a very useful feature for my situation. Thanks for your help.

Hello all, Please take a look at my screenshot. As you can see, the three cities I have loaded in from this new region are not being saved all the way, with the lower third of each tile missing. When I actually go into each city, everything is fine. It is only an issue in the region view. I am suspicious it has to do with a funky resolution as I am running the game at 2880x1620x32. I am achieving this with dxwrapper. Any ideas as to fixing this issue or any workarounds? It is pretty annoying more than anything else...

In the picture below I have a simple diamond interchange in the process with a ground level highway and a level one road going over it. This is a stupid question, but I cannot find the piece I need to transition the road from level 1 back to the ground. How do I do this?

Hi! So I have just recently gotten this mod which I was hoping would simply get me a higher initial starting fund and nothing more. Even then, 100,000,000 starting simoleans was way too much for me, but I managed to use the reader to successfully lower this value down to 3 million. The problem I have now is that the mod has also apparently drastically affected my tax money (in a city of 4,500 I am making 43,000 dollars in taxes every month). How do I lower this as well, preferably back to the default settings as I want to maintain the financial challenge?

Hello Everyone! In haljackey's Coastal Community video two buildings have really appealed to me. Where can I find the set of buildings in the lower left hand corner of this image as well as the orange building to the right of the screen? Thanks!

I recently installed this mod: but only the lot is showing up, not the building. And I am not getting the typical brown box that you usually get with missing dependencies. Any idea what is going on?

Thanks! It works now! Is this the dependency I need?

Thanks for getting back to me! Unfortunately, that link seems to be broken for me...

So I have been watching Dwyrin's SimCity 4- Let's Create a Metropolis series (from several years ago), and I can't help but ask - where are these houses from, as they look AMAZING?!? Here is a link to the the video as well:
