  1. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    hi, the first one is supposed to be the BNL Dutch Double Houses 1930 from here: https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=3271 not sure if it's on SC4Evermore yet
  2. Show us What you're Working On

    Been working on this lot for a while now and learned a lot of new things in the process. Still not fully satisfied with it yet, but I think I'll let it rest for now. It's supposed to be a town square that is usually found in a rural town, decorated with various props, with park & landmark effects, and also functions as a bus stop. With the size of 3x3, I think it can be justified to have all those properties.
  3. About the mobile UI issue, here's my temporary workaround for anyone using uBlock origin on their phone browser: community.simtropolis.com###ips_Layout_footer1>div>hr Add that line to your filter (Dashboard > My Filters), and it will hide the 2 <hr> elements that broke the page and fix the issue.
  4. Hi, first, try to inspect your railways and see if your sims are using the train. Use the Route Query tool (the bottom question mark, on the bottom-left UI) and click on the railways. If there's no route going on, then here are some of the possible problems that I can think of: 1. Your railways network is not connected properly/broken, so try to make sure they're all connected properly. 2. Your sims prefer to use other types of transportation because it's faster/closer. This can happen if you set the layout of your network in a way that makes the railways less preferable than other networks. Especially if you're not using NAM in your game.
  5. Show us your Before/After Shots!

    Seems like it's this one here by Bipin, I remember since it has a very distinctive look like many of his other creations
  6. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    This is actually very interesting and I want to try having it for my tram network. Upon googling I stumbled on a sc4d forum post and Tarkus's answer leading to this post here by MandelSoft with the zip file attached: https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=1138.msg396331#msg396331
  7. Show us your MMP work

    oh, hey, that's lovely MMP work you got there! really pretty
  8. I mentioned this issue in the suggestion thread a few days ago. Read through a few pages of this thread and seems like it's been an issue for a while. So, just in case it could help, here's my unsolicited solution for the responsive issue. The offenders are the 2 <hr> elements wrapping the "Simtropolis is a community for mayors of SC4 and all city-building games" text. Both have these inline styles That needs to be changed to this Change the width to width:100% and add max-width: 575px --- I often browse Simtropolis using my phone when I'm away from the desktop, so it would be really nice if it could get fixed. cc: @Cyclone Boom
  9. Show us your Rural Scenes!

    Does this belong to rural or suburbs?
  10. Cities no longer load with NAM mod

    That's pretty weird since you got it from Simtropolis, but, glad that you managed to fix it! Still, seeing that you run it on a pretty old machine, if you installed the full NAM then I suggest to datpack your NAM folder when you have the time.
  11. Hi, fellow Mac player here. I doubt these will help, but a few things that you can try: 1. Back up your Regions folder somewhere else and try to re-install the game. If your saved files got deleted when you uninstall, restore them from your backup earlier and see if it fixes the issue. 2. Seeing that you only have 1 city tile here, try to move the save file of this city (inside the Regions > New York folder), and put it in a fresh new New York folder. You can get it from Aspyr support here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_MQMg4i_HFYHylBCiU9dyeCAGlpKrQI- or you can open the package content of the SimCity 4 inside your Applications. Make sure to delete the tile inside the fresh New York region that's being used by your city tile. --- There's actually a beta channel with an Apple Silicon update from Aspyr, but afaik, it's only for Steam. Not sure if the AppStore version got it by default or not. https://support.aspyr.com/hc/en-us/articles/12168615035405-How-to-access-the-Apple-Silicon-update-on-Mac-Steam-SimCity-4-Deluxe-Edition If it's still not working, and you still want to try, then contact Aspyr support. They're actually pretty responsive, but I doubt they'll have a solution for it tho. Best of luck to you!
  12. Cities no longer load with NAM mod

    Hi, not sure if it would help, but datpacking your NAM folder usually will improve the load time. You can give it a try by following this tutorial here: https://community.simtropolis.com/omnibus/SimCity-4/tutorials/datpacking-the-network-addon-mod-the-official-way-r865/ If it's not helping, try installing the bare minimum NAM (with only Road, Street, RRW, and Pedmall for the Network Features) and see if it runs better. Also, there's an option of NAM Lite where you can still get the bug fixes from NAM but no additional network and stuff.
  13. DATpacking the Network Addon Mod, the Official Way!

    Hi, Luc, thank you so much for this detailed tutorial! It helped me a lot, and I always point out this post to others looking to datpacked their NAM or just gain some performance boost. A little feedback: seems like there's a slight jump from steps 6 to 7, where you mentioned moving the contents inside the folder "2 Additional...", but then jumped to showing all the contents of NAM folder already in the root of the Plugins folder. You did mention "Select them all ...", but I thought it was just the folders inside "2 Additional...". So, maybe you can improve/add more copy to explain it. Also, this one is really minor, but some of the pictures with 2 windows side-by-side, where the one that matters is only the left side, confused me too. Because I thought I had to do the actions from the left window to the right window. Maybe adding a slightly darker overlay will help with this.

  18. ideas Site Suggestion Box

    Hi, I'm not sure if it's the right thread, but the container for the "Simtropolis is a community for mayors of SC4 and all city-building games" on the footer section doesn't responsive well to the smaller screen and makes browsing the site on the phone a bit inconvenient.

  23. Help about smoke effect in train

    Just want to add for people who will find this thread in the future. If you don't like that additional steam engine from the airforce base plugin, @rsc204 also made a blocker so it won't spawn in your game, here:
