@ Martix DJ: Allright, I'll create a doc with all the buildings I use that I consider to be safe + textures/props later today. Real busy right now, I just wanted to see your reply @BarbyW: I got the building from the stex. Perhaps it was another building that caused the crash and it was coincendental (sorry for spelling) that it happened when I selected a VanderAap building. I do know that in the past when my game crashed every 5 minutes or so, crashes would especially happen when you pick a building with a radius. Would you happen to know why that is? Do radius doublers perhaps crash the game? I remember using them in the past. I agree with you on that everybody should read the Read me file (thats how I found the installed gascooker prop pack), but unfortunately the Read Me is abused by many uploaders. For every 10 Read Me's I read, I find 6 of them to be completely useless...I can understand why some people will skip it. I must say that BSC read me's are pretty much always excellent, and thanks for those MEGA packs you all uploaded, you helped hundreds of people with that if not more..

Like you, I also suffered a lot of game crashes and indeed I lead back the problem to the props/dependencies. I completely deleted my game and installed the 2 updates alone and started working from there. Now Im testing each new building I downloaded in a mega city. I have found that many buildings that are uploaded on the stex can crash the game unfortunately. Some buildings seem to be 'coded wrong' or something. An example is the immediate crash after selecting VdA's Anne Frank House. When I deleted all VdA's Amsterdam buildings, I didnt have any problems any more. VdA is run without dependencies I believe..so it must be the building screwing up the game. 2bad tho, I like his work..I also noticed that some buildings include the props you need when you install. An example is Kingston Market by Simgoober. The installer automaticly installs the Gascooker 4 props.dat file, while that file is no longer needed with the uploaded MEGA packs. If you dont manually delete that auto-installed dat file, the game will crash.If you want, I can help you test certain buildings. I also have a list of buildings wich I consider to be safe in my game. And my game used to crash whenever I reached a population of 10k. Let me know if you would appreciate my tested buildings please
