  1. Hi Cori, I tried your mod and it worked as intended. Also made my first experience with the reader tool and edited another lot in combination with the mac transit capcity bug (rep issue) and that worked as well. Thx for that! My next issue is now to work on all other stations that are annoying to me, puh....... But that's my problem, not yours. Hope to feel comfortable when applied in the future. I'm wondering if not many others might be happy with this change in games behaviour?
  2. Thx, that was a quick research! I`ll give it a try.
  3. Sounds good, thx!

    Roundabout Stations are great. Great Design with that big glassy roof. Eye Catcher! Thx for the MAC Update!

  5. CoriBoom Those Stretchy RCI Graph Demand Bars

    simster007 replied to CorinaMarie's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Alway missed that in the Census Repository! Do you mean, both mods do not work together or the "increased graph" just does not make any additional sense? In a quick test it did not work on all custom parks, but that does not bother me at all. Numbers are very close to the census rep numbers.

  6. Recommended Mods?

    The Spaceport unlocks in my MAC Version (Steam, but the older Version runnning on 32bit) as intended. As far as I know you have to play the city tile in hard mode to get the reward. Concerning subways: I never had any problems getting them to work. On the old CD Version I didn´t know that NAM exists, so they were used, but not really functional as the whole traffic without NAM. In the MAC Steam Version with NAM they work as well.

    Hi Community, what can cause all commercial buildings showing low customers? Got a lot of streets/ roads ave´s used by thousands of commuters but commercial stays on "low". It normally should change to medium/ high by some hundreds of commuters, is that right? Is it maybe the NAM running on Ultra capacity to avoid struggling with congestions? Do I have to increase the customer/ traffic noise factor in the TSCT? Thx for your replies!

    Quoted myself to underline that you as Windows know about these mac issues. Good Job

    Interesting, first time I hear about that. You are totally right, that debate is old and boring and i never wanted to become part oft it, don´t even have enough knowledge to argue. In my case the most important reason is lazyness and a lack of interest in IT Systems. MAC OS is what I'm used to, and it worked always well for me without struggle that´s it. Some many years ago that was a quite expensive and sort of restrictive descision......Let´s stop discussing it. Thx. I was not shure if the issue in itself (without knowing that it might be a Mac Issue) is worth starting a new topic as a greenhorn like me. On the other hand it´s really interesting to notify that there are these Mac issues.... I´m really surprised how quickly all your replies answered my questions - effectively it was one question (low customers) with the dicussion leading to the second (transit station capacity) in one shot - very cool!

    wow, that was a long response! I spend the last 45min studying the 64bit OS version issues... In 2020 or so I Stumbled over the automatic steam version update to the 64bit version which didn´t run on my system. Luckily I could restore it from Time Machine. Actually I´m runnning SC4 on a Mid 2009 MACbook on El Capitan (last supported version as mentioned) with exactly the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, upgraded with an SSD and 8GB RAM. Have to update in the future, but always keep my old machines as backup.... SC4 runs stable and smooth, single ctd´s concerning the TE lots when being not careful enough. Just loading times and switching views (zone and underground) are awful. Cities bigger than 300.000 are getting really slow..... I'm a MAC User since 1994 and avoid to use Windows in my private life, so Bootcamp/ Parallels do not exist here until absolutly necessary. My interest in hard/ software is limited, I´m not interested in struggling with windows additionally, the PC I mentioned exists really just for the exe installers.... Additionally I'm no gamer at all, just restarted the good old SC4 in 2020 due to covid restrictions and lots of time in RL . Never used anything apart from Vanilla before and got now 2.75 GB plugins ( plus 2GB that already have been swapped out again...). Until 2020 I didn´t even know that custom content exists and how to use it. I appreciate very much what you and all the others are doing here and wherever and thx for your your patience with an old nostalgic SC 2000/ 3000/ SC4 fan... will check this out soon, thx!

    @rsc204: thx for your quick reaction! As before said: I sort of remember that i had high customers once or twice in small areas in one of my older regions. Do I understand right that´s nearly impossible an a MAC? I´ll try to find these spots and send you a pic of that. Could take some days.... Anyway, thx for the response, better to know why things seem to be strange. Actually my Commercials work, I was just wondering what´s going on when i read some postings here and mentioned numbers are so different from what i´m used to in my game. The Stations theme: Yes that were all custom content lots apart from the NAM. Today I informed Simmer2 about this issue in one of his lots. Did not want to discuss his lots in an open discussion. I try to send him a link to this conversation, that he knows what´s going on. I can´t remember the other stations, just deleted them..... I try to figure out the reader tool. Can take some days until i have the time. Got an old crab(?) pc here which im just using for sc exe installers... Windows world is not mine. And Yes: I´m on an old steam version. My MAC is from 2009 and runs on OS 10.11. Never touch a running a running system....... Are you one of the few MAC users here?

    simster007 replied to simster007's topic in SC4 Mac Users

    Actually I'm discussing a different issue in a private conversation which also seems quite strange to me: Some Stations (Train/ Bus Subway) have much lower capacities in my game. In Detail in the actaul issue: Capacity should be 85000, Query Tool says 8. Maybe same problem? @corinamarie: we discussed this MAC Theme in a topic concerning underfund messages wher my game does not stop I know that the MaC Support is limited but if here is any mac user it would interest me if he/ she could maybe reduplicate any of this issues?

    simster007 replied to simster007's topic in SC4 Mac Users

    well, as already mentioned i maybe will test that issue in an isolated region. Played SC in the 2000´s when it came out for a couple of years (just vanilla), reactivated it last year due to a lot of free covid restriction time and explored since then this wonderful world of custom plugins.... My commercials NEVER counted many customers on any route showing just hundreds of commuters not in a few spots but all the time everywhere in any postion to traffic routes apart from some single spots as I remember. In some topics here on ST was mentioned that CS does not work with low customers and somewhere (as corinamarie already posted) was described that some hundreds of commuter could shift the value from medium to high. This information made me wondering if was playing a different game..... I still enjoy building more than testing, but as soon as i got the time i will try to check this in detail in an isolated city tile or maybe in some old regions. Started this topic hoping that maybe someone has a hint: check this setting/ plugin or whatever.... Could my MAC Version be the problem? Will keep you informed.

    simster007 replied to simster007's topic in SC4 Mac Users

    @matias93: thx, congestion is not my issue, i know that i can change settingsto get it. @CorinaMarie: thx for your replies, i think it was u dicussing the topic concerning freight trucks here already? Heard about the 4x4 cells as well. Opposite side zoning does not work, i already checked that.Maybe I should set up a test region to work on that issue, it is region wide, everywhere. I think in an old region i once had high customers in a spot next to a completely congested highway, but apart from that i am more or less used to "low" customers since i'm playing SC4.... Commmercials work, sims are employed and there is no dilapidation or abandonment but it is still sort of annoying....
  15. thx corinamarie for your research. actually I don´t mind that little error. everthing else works fine and i like it! i just thought it could be helpful to report this - the tool is still a beta version, am i right?
  16. nope, game was running. i tested it a few times more yesterday and iit never toggled to pause. Everything else works fine. could the reason be that i´m using a mac version of the game (and also an old one, the actual version does not support MacOs 10.11. anymore)?
  17. don´t know if this is helplful: in the first quick test the pause options don't work. Game keeps on runnning. i´m using the "urgent" version level in the city tile is easy but anyway: thx for your work! just realized underfunding of museums/ libraries

  18. Got a quick SC4 question?... Ask here!

    simster007 replied to City_Slider's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Thx for your reply, it seemed to me that they do not. There were some IHT lots growing in massses before I started with the IRM but do not since then. Maybe just because of other reasons: new region, new setup/ other demands ... we will see. not sure wheater I will start that editing or not. Modding ist quite new for me, editing either..... Do you maybe have a short how to (just for this case?), or a link where I can find detailled infos?

    simster007 replied to City_Slider's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Hi, this is my first post here, hoping to get a quick answer concerning the irm mod: How does this mod work together with different downloaded industrial buildings that are not specially offered as "IRM" conform? Do they grow or do they have to be modified for being used with the irm? Thx in advance for your replies
