CAM doesn't seem to be working. I followed the Windows 10 post-install instructions
Lemonade replied to Lemonade's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion
Well I appreciate the answers but I think this is the end of my SimCity 4 journey. I was extremely happy to play the game again and to see my city grow with mods but things like this really destroy that feeling. It becomes so tiresome and requires so much time and effort to have a proper modded CAM with all stages working. Having to download a ton of dependencies was already a huge red flag, I didn't even reach the 6th from Tarkus' list and I already had to download 49 files and almost all of them have instructions, also some of those 49 files are dependencies that are packed together so it actually expands to a lot more. The downloading process is slow because of limits in sc4devotion and I don't even know exactly what I'm downloading, I don't know how many stages I'm covering, with how many buildings on each, nothing. Also almost all links are broken, some need the "https://" added, others need the "https://www.", some link to simtropolis, some to sc4devotion, others link to other external sites Please don't get me wrong, I'm not ungrateful or lazy, I'm not complaining about the community or mod makers, I'm just complaining about how it could be made easier but instead it's extremely complex. A simple pack containing the entire list Tarkus' gives or something like that is enough for people like me to start playing. They don't even need updates since most of the files (if not all) I'm downloading didn't receive an update since 2007. I'm really surprised there aren't "modpacks" already available. Anyway, thank you everyone and thanks to the people that keep SC4 alive. Hope we can meet again in the future when, hopefully, this situation changed -

Hello! thanks for answering. AFAIK there are no dependencies. The manual and the modpage hosted here don't list dependencies. Also this blog by Tarkus says it has 0 dependencies https://simtarkus.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/the-CAM-colossus-addon-mod-separating-fact-from-fiction/ edit: oh wait, so if I don't have any stage 4 farm added then none will grow? If this is true then it's a true headache to actually use CAM, like there are no "good" starter packs and each pack I see has a huge list of dependencies. I only want a few buildings on each stage so that I can enjoy 100% of CAM. Isn't there any pack like that? -

Hello, I downloaded and installed CAM from this website and also followed the pinned instructions to install it on w10 machines. I picked the Extended option but it doesn't seem to be working fine, I can't get stage 4+ farms even when all the requirements are met. This is a new city started after adding CAM. No mod changes have been made since I started this city. Following the CAM 2.1.0 manual the thresholds for IR are: And the stage caps are: I have 10.140 in Industry so that would allow me to grow stage 5 farms. I have power, water, parks and fire. That would allow me to grow stage 10 farms. (but I can only grow stage 5 due to threshold limit)
