Some Saturday morning creativity

Still working on the SimCity 4 lore list. This thread now has a proper mention: Show Us What You're Working On- For many years, especially during the slump of SC4 activity following the debut of Cities:Skylines, this thread became the only place where many members would post their updates, barely touching the topic-specific showcase threads. It turned the thread into a one stop shop, making other 'show us your' threads a ghost town. Why bother posting the screenshots on the dedicated topic where 'no one' would notice, as opposed to publishing them where everyone's guaranteed to be present? This required an overhaul of the site, which removed the pinned status of the general showcase thread and started marketing the other threads to distribute the activity more evenly across the site.

Wow, you and I view this thread differently... perhaps because I was the creator. I already have a blurb on it: Show Us What You're Working On Being a one stop shop, making other 'show us your' threads a ghost town. --- Kinda a double edged sword, eh? I'll merge yours with that if it's ok? How does this sound? I left out the bit about the NAM crisis because that's deeper NAM-team specific lore (for the most part) Show Us What You're Working On- For many years, especially during the slump of SC4 activity following the debut of Cities:Skylines, this thread became the only place where many members would post their updates, barely touching the topic-specific showcase threads.

This required an overhaul of the site, which removed the pinned status of the general showcase thread and started marketing the other threads to distribute the activity more evenly across the site. I for one think it's still worth mentioning the pirating / illegal downloading / torrents in some way, however like you I won't put any more discussion in it other than a placeholder. Perhaps a staff member would want to tackle filling it in so we don't overstep? For now I just put: Pirating / Illegal downloading / Torrents- A rather spicy / dark part of SC4's history, but absolutely worth mentioning lore-wise

Dude, there's a whole interview on the ST youtube channel I thought about including it when I first made the list- maybe in the Honourable mentions area as its not SC4-related lore. --- EDIT: I added it as a honourable mention EDIT 2: Oh geez a lot of my pics were featured as good city design in SC4 to draw from for SC13's design. if you thought that game was a massive disappointment- you can partially blame me
-
This is a place where we can get a little spicy, but not too much. If we're referring to the past and isn't really something valid anymore, I think its ok to mention just for record-keeping's sake. It happened- it was an event- it is therefore history / lore. I can certainly add your other items, but a condensed / brief mention regarding pirated copies is something we can include, at least in my opinion. I remember people asking for NAM support using these versions for instance- once we found out what they were using, we ended any conversations right then and there, for example.

A good one from the r/Simcity4 reddit I felt sharing here
-
Thanks all- I have edited the list (first post of this thread) to contain these new / expanded items. Have a look and make sure it's worded/formatted as you would expect Can you elaborate more on this? What should the title be? Let me know and I can add it as well. --- I'm also getting a ton of responses from people I have contacted/contacted me from other sites such as Reddit and Discord. More items added to the list.
-
Thank you! I've added these to the list. Have a look at the entries to see if they all make sense. I continue to add more and more- but if you've got more to throw my way have at it. The majority of items now have at least a brief explanation too. --- ...I've even made a lore entry for the lore list. This undertaking has snowballed into something far beyond what I envisioned and thought it would fun to mention. Lore list in the lore list? We need to go deeper.

SC4Fix: third-party patches for SC4

No- as far as I am aware this is the only city where I experienced this particular bug. -
SC4Fix: third-party patches for SC4
Haljackey replied to simmaster07's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion
While I agree more investigation could be needed, I wouldn't even be able to load this city to look for it if it weren't for this specific patch. If it happened to me, it is likely happening to others as well. I know @b22rian and @Lucario Boricua have experienced recent CTDs in some cities and they have similar setups/plugins to what I'm using. Perhaps that version of SC4fix might help them out as well?- 81 Replies

SC4Fix: third-party patches for SC4
Haljackey replied to simmaster07's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion
A bit of a bump to this thread but I wanted to mention that I downloaded the latest version of this file- and this issue sprang up After some searching I remember a older, specific version of SC4fix was made in this thread Going back to this version fixed the problem for me. I'm not sure if a possible future release may want to incorporate whatever was done here with the tweaks made since it was created.- 81 Replies

Hey there, I got a new PC last year. Everything's been running swimmingly SC4 wise. However today I decided to open a city I have not loaded since I got my new PC. It crashes about one second after the city loads. To try and help things, I am able to pan the camera when it loads by holding one of the arrow keys. I then saved via the hotkey (cntl-s) and it saved properly. The game crashes right after. This updates the city's file in my regions folder to today's date (was last opened July of 2024). However sadly that didn't fix it as reopening caused the same crash within one second. I've tried running in software render, and removing plugins. No dice either. I tried loading backup versions of the city from as far back as 2023. They don't load either. Sadly I'm not sure what else to add. I've attached exception reports to see if that helps, and here's a link to the city file on my google drive, but not sure what else to put. From the exception report I see the following error at quick glance- Locating export "RtlGetFunctionTableListHead" for DLL "Unknown" failed with status: 0xc0000139. I've solved similar crashing issues in the past, but this one's stumping me. Any ideas would be appreciated SimCity Exception Minidump 2025.07.25 00.11.45.mdmp SimCity Exception Report 2025.07.25 00.11.45.txt

(Fixed) City crashes 1 second after loading
Haljackey replied to Haljackey's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Gawd dammit- I reinstalled that old patch of SC4 fix from that thread and it worked. It's not as current as the new one but whatevs. At least I figured it out. Thanks for the help regarding my plugins structure- I will fix that up and it should clean things up a bit too -
Thanks- added this blurb if it sounds ok? Scrabblebox- Contains the notes that @paeng made for the forum attachments he had over at the now defunct SimPeg website
-
Yes I have @Pegasus and @Pegprod listed. I can add a member entry for @paeng Can you guys give me more context for the BATting school and scrabble box among others? I can list those but they'll remain blank for now.

(Fixed) City crashes 1 second after loading
Haljackey replied to Haljackey's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
I can certainly clean that up but I'm not sure why it would affect just one city and not others. Absolutely worth a shot for sure. As for 'the code the game was trying to execute wasn't in memory.' - have you encountered is before when loading other cities? Are you saying my computer may not be recognizing the city file? --- Researching some more, this is the same city misbehaving The patch he included in his post may provide a clue perhaps. Something else appears to be happening -
I can add it but I do have a separate entry for CJ unions / alliances and all that jazz. It's empty for now so if anyone has insight about it or others- let me know
-
And now for something different- working for lore about this thread. It is certainly noteworthy. What I have is: Can't find it? Ask here!- All-encompassing thread where members will ask were to find certain items from the game- giving whatever screenshots / clues they can to help others assist. Since the thread is so frequently visited, what is asked for is almost always found. If it can't be found, due to the item no longer being hosted on a site that no longer works, BUT someone else still has it on their own computer, STEX moderators will often work with that member to upload the file in good faith, providing as much information as possible to credit the original creator(s). That sound about right, anything I should add or change?
