I've had a similar problem with an old video card of mine, turns out the video card was dying and needed replacing. I would slowly get these random lines building up on the screen, and they got worse and worse until you couldn't see anything and then I would get a BSOD from the video driver. However, it's possible your video card may just be overheating. Even if you don't overclock the video card processor, it can overheat from warmer room temperatures, or the fan on the video card could be dying, or even the thermal paste between the heat sink and video processor may need replacing.

Yeah, but if I get it to work via a workaround, I'll just try to live with it. I know I never seemed to have the problem before I found out about all these great plugins. But the only thing I've really got installed is the NAM and a handful of custom lots, nothing really gamebreaking / changing.

Hmm, that is wierd. I don't seem to remember having that problem without any of the plugins installed, but OK I'll give it a shot.

I have a wierd problem. I tried starting a new region, and in the one city I put in a landfill, but no matter what, it says it doesn't have road access. This makes no sense, I've tried completely surrounding it with roads and it still doesn't help. I'm wondering if there is a certain plugin which broke them? I've got a lot of plugins, but no idea which one may be causing the problem. They are big release plugins, so I don't see how they could cause such a wierd problem.

Oh okay. Well you confused me when you said you uploaded the one mod, I thought it was it. lol.

The mod didn't seem to work for me. I still can't build the short tunnel needed. I still need to leave a space and just use the NAM puzzle pieces to put in a rail overpass, or make the top of the raised landmass at least 3 tiles wide, plus the slopes. EDIT : Actually, I see a newer version on the STEX than the one I downloaded. There is one put up today, and I think I grabbed the one from yesterday. Is the newer one the correct one which should allow shorter tunnels? Oh wait, I see the newer one is for highways....

Cool KT3, I grabbed your mod because I like the idea of the sloped tunnels, I wasn't sure if you also allowed shorter tunnels as well. Let's hope it works the way I want!

What I'm looking to do is run part of the light ground rail by using the hole digging mod. If I use the ground lifter piece along the path of the rail 1 space wide, then run the rail on top, and run intersecting roads underneath it. However, it won't let me build tunnels through such a narrow piece of land. It seems the top of the raised land must be at least 3 tiles wide, not including the slopes, for it to build the tunnels. Is there a mod out there which will allow such a short tunnel, or can I just edit a particular file myself to adjust this? I realize I could just use the rail puzzle pieces, or elevated rail with converting pieces from the NAM, but it's really not the look I'm trying to go for in my cities.

I take it you only have to drop the files into your plugin folder like most other mods / plugins to get it working?

Wow, many thanks Tolomar. Quick question though reguarding that Hole Digging Lots Mod. The readme included was apparently written in MS Word and saved in a format not compatible with Notepad or Wordpad. (Well, .doc files are normally readable in Wordpad but it seems something specific to MS Word is included in there.) Is there anywhere I can find a .txt or .rtf version? Or maybe just tell me how to install and use it.

I'm a bit new to the forums, but I've been visiting Simtropolis for a while now. Noticed the new layout and design, I like it. I already have a handful of plugins I downloaded a while ago. I've got NAM, as well as the traffic calculator fix, realistic water, HOV lanes, and a few other minor ones. What I'm really looking for are mods that add prettier / more realistic scenery / pieces. I see lots of screenshots that have customized embankments, parks, waterfronts, as well as scenery underneath bridges / highways. Where can I find these? Either my spelling sucks, or I'm just searching through the STEX for the wrong keywords... Also, I take it there's still no fix for the phantom cars bug that was introduced by RH expansion?
