Yes! Please! I've always thought the ordinances were an underused part of the game.

Hi Mayors! I'm having an issue where buildings become instantly abandoned due to lack of water. I'm aware you should usually have 6 game months to sort a power/water problem before a building becomes abandoned - but currently I can loose huge parts of my city in a second, without any time to fix the problem! Any ideas ? Thanks in advance!

Interesting! I will investigate this and post a conclusion.

Thanks for your quick reply. What an annoying bug! My region is 1million in population, so I'm going to be a very busy mayor deleting every education facility.

Just been reading up on the Phantom Slider Bug - guessing this might have been triggered somehow?

Edit: The problem was caused because I (inadvertently) moved 'Opera House Fixes - Override Vanilla (Beta v1).dat' out of my plugins folder without first deleting all instances of the Opera House. I fixed the problem by moving the file back, then deleting the opera houses in the city. Thanks for your help. Help! I've just updated to CAM 2.5 on GOG version 1.1.641.0 on Windows 11. I originally had CAM 2.1.1 (Extended Controller), which I uninstalled through add remove programs, and ran BSC Cleanitol with Colossus Addon Mod - Cleanitol.txt to clean files. Any old CAM files were backed up, and the scan now shows no old files present. Everything *seems* to be working fine in my existing region, except the education budget in each city is set to MAX. When I change the slider to a custom setting and press accept, the budget reverts back to max again after around 10 seconds. I've restarted the game a few times and tried each city, and the problem persists. Is my region screwed? Obviously I would really love to not loose it, but at this rate it will be bankrupt in due course. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A quote from a 2010 article about SimCity 4 articulated the limitation mayors face with controlling a cities transpiration system… A question for the genius SC4 modders- could this kind of granular controls ever be written into SimCity 4? Or is the games infrastructure uncompatible? Happy building!
