**Edited to include the following to save the reader time: After submitting the post I realized that I should mention this in advance in an effort to save readers time from reading the entire post. This speed reduction/standstill seems to occur on a specific fully occupied large city tile and does not occur on the other medium/small city tiles in the same region. Is it possible that a city file could become corrupted to a point that the corruption/performance hit is only noticeable when this specific city tile is played in conjunction with the NAM plugin?** I do appreciate the work/effort everyone here does and I hate to point towards NAM being the potential cause. I could be wrong and hopefully am wrong as mentioned above this could all be potentially due to a Corrupted City Tile and not NAM at all. ------ Original Post: Hi All, for some reason with NAM Full or NAM Lite plugin installed I have continued to experience very slow performance and sometimes a total standstill during in game play. I do have the game installed and played in steam. The plugin is installed in the normal documents/SimCity 4/plugins folder. I play the game set with all the performance recommendations, graphics list, critical mods to install and AMD Radeon Settings per post: And to be sure that I didn't forget to do something I have even followed the step by step instructions per Ulisse Wolf's most recent video which I really appreciate and I thank him and everyone here at Simtropolis for their efforts in making the game enjoyable: During my various troubleshooting steps I have even ran the game with no plugins installed, sometimes with just maxis buildings plugins installed then with NAM installed or only with NAM installed to troubleshoot. I have even tried adjusting the steam launch options tweaks and still the same. I even have the correct ini texts edited, the plugins fix, the 4gb patch, everything known to us, all types of Radeon settings combinations. But despite my various efforts to correct these issues it does seem to be NAM related. Overtime I have done every type of performance combinations and none of them seem to help. Game works fine and fast without the NAM Lite or NAM Full installed. Once NAM is installed performance drops significantly sporadically throughout the in game months.One thing I will add and not sure if this makes any sense to somebody but for some reason the performance drop/pause becomes very noticeable during the specific months of April, August & November (not sure if this means anything or helps). The game/days will slow down and then completely stops to a complete standstill no matter what the speed is set too (turtle rhino cheetah i believe are the play speeds). Sometimes it takes almost 5 minutes for the dates to start cycling again just to have it slow down and stop all over again a few short months later. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before? Are there any type of NAM settings/adjustments that I can make that may help with this? Again I always use NAM lite and never change the default settings keeping them at lowest recommendations. But it doesn't matter what NAM Settings I put with NAM Lite or NAM Full install it continues to happen. Side note: I am very thankful to the Simtropolis Community and appreciate everything everyone does. I have played this game since it's release date and have even been a simtropolis subscriber since 2009. I have used many versions of NAM in the past but more specifically (recently last 4 years) with NAM version (45?) 46, 47, 48. I do appreciate the work/effort everyone here does and I hate to point towards NAM being the potential cause. I could be wrong and hopefully am wrong as mentioned above this could all be potentially due to a Corrupted City Tile and not NAM at all. Any help is greatly appreciated.
