Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted! Thanks so much.

Hey Simtropolis, has been a long time since my last visit. As I was reinstalling the game and LOTS of plugins, I remembered a ploppable building from when I last played, about a year ago. It was a 1x1 or 2x2 tall building which, when queried, showed a helluvalot statistics of your city/region (don't remember) like caps etc. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find it any longer. Does anyone know which building I mean and where I can find it? Thanks! =D

Okay, thanks a lot people =) Crashes/lags are (almost) always caused by the computer itself? good, I was thinking the game might have some major flaws in that area, but appears not. Also, I know I don't need the cd key, but with patches installed, it would affect the game so the NoCD doesn't work anymore, could get it to work probably but if nescessary, it best be avioded =) Anyway, I'm gonna try tonight and if I have questions or errors, I'll be back (well I'll be back anyway xD)

Hi there community after not having been here for over 6 months, because my old pc didn't like SC4 anymore, (crashes and lagging), I'm back I got my new laptop with sweet new graphics card and stuff, so I thought, hey why not install Sc4 Deluxe again. Anyway I was planning not to install the patch, since I lost the CD but luckly made an ISO out of it, but I could only find noCD patches for the unpatched game. BUT, that's not my question/statement. The patch fixes a lot of bugs in the game, I am aware of that. However (almost) allcrashes on my old game were because the pc couldn't deal with +100000pop cities anymore, that pc was kinda cheap Also, most modds worked fine without it, well atleast the most vital ones like the NAM So I was wondering, would these system specs be enough to run SC4Deluxe sweetly without laggs, even on big cities? CPU: Pentium Dual Core T2400 @ 2.00 GHz Memory RAM: 4GB ALSO: I hope I'm not being illegal here I'm not asking for stuff to play without CD just want to know if playing without patch is possible. Graphics Driver: NVIDIA GeForce G 105M, 256 MB, also 1277MB share, so max about 1.5GB OS: Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32Bit DirectX 10 What do you think? should I just try it?

Are there multiple ways? I just download UPDATE_SKU1_TO_P1_B638.EXE and run it, then it patches. Are there more ways? In that case I'm heading to the simcity4 site at once xD

Ok here's the problem: I have played Vanilla many years, succesfully patched. Some time ago I bought Deluxe and installed it, it was version 1.1.610 so an update was needed. Went to the EA site, downloaded the right update, patched. BUT! When the update reached Simcity_1.dat, it said: Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match.Then it continues, succesfully updating Simcity_2, _3, _4 and Simcity_5.dat now, Simcity is still version .610 because it hasn't updated all files I tried other SKU updates, the same problem appears with every update. What to do? Re-install because my Simcity_#.dat files are corrupted? Thanks, Robbert

Whow this made my day! I've just got Civilization IV which is a great game, if colonization goes that direction it's a definately buy!

3 hours.. that's crazy talk.. Just finished a game of a total of 20 hours, spread out on a couple of days xD

Also, most (if not all) BSC BAT Props are now included in Mega Prop Packs. So I think in your case the desired files are probably named: BSC MEGA Prop Pack - MJB vol 1 (BSC BAT Props MJB Mega Pack) BSC MEGA Prop Pack - SWI21 vol 1 (BSC BAT Props MEGA swi21) BSC MEGA Prop Pack - CSX vol 1 (BSC BAT Props - CSX Flora Vol 01) The BLS packs are named differently I think... (BSC BAT Props BLS Floral Vol 01)

or use google instead Ironical though, JoeExplorer can't find it xD

Had the same problem just days ago. I couldn't find a solution, but the empty lots will be replaced by normal ones over time... saves bulldozing
