CAM doesn't seem to be working. I followed the Windows 10 post-install instructions
Lemonade posted a topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion
Hello, I downloaded and installed CAM from this website and also followed the pinned instructions to install it on w10 machines. I picked the Extended option but it doesn't seem to be working fine, I can't get stage 4+ farms even when all the requirements are met. This is a new city started after adding CAM. No mod changes have been made since I started this city. Following the CAM 2.1.0 manual the thresholds for IR are: And the stage caps are: I have 10.140 in Industry so that would allow me to grow stage 5 farms. I have power, water, parks and fire. That would allow me to grow stage 10 farms. (but I can only grow stage 5 due to threshold limit) -
I restored my archives. Happily found it had been installed and registry all patched in WIN10 already. No, need to reinstall. I surprised myself and found besides the CD, I own the GOG version. And my records show my last backups (I built a background automatic backup that zips all tiles of a region or just zip modified tiles). I am on CAM 2.1 and NAM 36. Got to get that NAM updated to 44 and continue reading through my notes to see how I had set up things. {My name notes said, NAM is too fiddly compared to CS; not anymore I think.}

NAM installer not working - states that "SimCity 4.exe" was not found as expected?
djalley22 posted a topic in NAM & Transit Networks
Hello, after many hours trying to get my steam version of SimCity 4 to launch on Windows 10, it seems the NAM installation may solve my problem. So I installed the NAM files and clicked on the "NetworkAddonMod_Setup_Version43.bat" file and it simply states: SimCity4_4GB_Patch_Script_v3.bat -------------------------------- This command script automates applying the 4 GB Patch to SimCity 4.exe. ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value. * * * ERROR * * * "\SimCity 4.exe" was not found as expected. Press any key to continue . . . Does anybody know how to fix this? -
Hi I sent you a message tonight about a payment made last 12/2/19. I forgot to add I also made a ten dollar payment on 10/1/21 and have had no response from that either, see receipt below. I do have a beginner question, first I cant get discord to work it wont sync with me. I have been downloading a lot of files, my plug in folder is a mess and it takes about three minutes for my game to start now (it used to be in seconds) How should I have my plug in folder set up, right now I have a bunch of files that I am sure are ok but then anything I got that wasn't in a file is in my plug in folder all of it. also when I load a city I get a message a plug in is missing and it gives me a number, funny thing its a different number for each city. How do I look up the missing plug in?

At home I have a LHD and RHD installation on two separate computers. Mayon Province for performance issue I exchanged oneway from the LHD to the RHD computer without any issue, not altering anything. Moving a installation from one two the other computer isn't without problems. Today I swapped two LHD installations to my RHD machine and vice versa two RHD to my LHD computer. Exchanging first the driving side problem need to be addressed. NAM removed and replaced with a LHD or if on a RHD machine the appropriate version. Second the startup Userdir be defined in a shortcut so the basic installation is overruled. Third I discovered that on the LHD all rendered regions where messed up so I have to render; this only applied to non maxis rendered and SC4M regions ! Adjusting these won't be a issue as these region where not yet seriously touched. Strange some are more deformed than others showing only water or landmass on places where there's nothing. Future there will be no further swapping around like this only appropriate driving side to be determined. As far as driving side I am not very much concerned as it goes to fantasy regions. Anno Europe I distinctly setup on RHD as it's Europe after all. Australia and Asia is a mixed bag most driving left except china, Korea, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam. Europe did have Sweden as a left drive nation till the end of last century. North America seemed as well split but chose right driving as standard. There maybe still some hidden LHD or RHD problems hidden into the plugins folder but these most be addressed for some exception, but except NAM and some other mods I won't expect anything serious.. Hope someone else has swapped its installations and hear what there issue's where with this matter ! Sincerely yours, Kschmidt

How to set up the AMD Raedon R5 graphic card
luvs2draw posted a topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Hello everyone, Found this while I was surfing the web. Here are the settings for the "AMD Radeon R5 Adrenalin Graphics Card version 19.11.1". Here is the link: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh-012 I have set mine according to the directions from this site. It gives step by step directions. I have played the game with no side affects to my game. But like they say if you don't feel comfortable changing settings on your computer, don't, but if you give it try and don't like them you can always restore back to the factory settings. Enjoy. -
Custom Music Tutorial - How to setup your own tunes
luvs2draw posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Hello all, I love to listen to music files while Playing SC4. What I listen to is mostly Rock from the 50's to the mid 90's. If you're going to play "Custom Music" while you play the game, you will need to remove the game music from these folders located in your game folder, mine is located on my "C" drive in the "Programs Files (x86)" folder. In my Game folder, I located the game music in the "Radio" folder. Remove the music files in both the "Mayor" & "Region" folders, cutting and pasting the files into a folder with 2 subfolders titled "Mayor" & "Region". Just paste the files in the folder they belong in. But do not remove the Kmay.id from the "Mayor" folder or "Krgn.id" from the "Region" folder. If you do then no music will play. In one folder I have 100 music files and renamed the files to "sc4m_01" thru (how many music files you have put into the folder). I don't believe you will need to do this, but I did. But I couldn't figure out how to get all my "Custom Music" to play. I found on Google the following information: First, make sure the music files you would like to listen to is in the MP3 format. Second, you will need to set the music to 128 kbps. I found what I was looking for at this site. I chose the first converter. If you choose this converter set-up is easy: Select files (you will need to add each file). If you choose to add the folder it will automatically add all the files that are in the folder. Mode: Average Modus: Joint Stereo Rate: 130 kbps (It will convert the file to 124 kbps which will play in the game.) Sample Freq: 44100Hz Destination: Set export path via the first option. I converted all of my music files and now they all play just fine. It now will play all the music from folders that I made for the game. Hope the information is helpful and helps you get your "Custom Music" to play in the game. -
Setting up for the game to run in Window or Fullscreen Mode
luvs2draw posted a topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Hello everyone, I need a little help getting the Game to run in Window or Fullscreen Mode. First I am running Windows 10 64 bit on an HP Pavilion Notebook Laptop. Graphics card is AMD Radeon R 6 ( there is no way to change settings to select to turn on Fullscreen in the Graphics). The game is opening with the 2 black strips on the Right and Left side of the screen. I had the game install in the C (systems drive) instead of Program Files (86). I have added to the target the -w and -f and also tried -r - CoustomResolution:enable -1600x900x32 while the game was installed on the C drive (was installed after the -CPUCount:1 entry was there from the install) removed the -f and entered -w, and there was no change in the way the game starts. I thought it might be because the game installed in the C drive, might be the problem, so I removed my Plugins and Region folders and deleted the game and installed it to the C:/Program Files (86). I changed the target from the -f to -w, there was no change in how the game loads, it loaded with the 2 strips on both sides of the screen. The only time the game will show up in the Window mode is when I close the game ( it shows up in a Window screen then closes). Is there any way to get the game to start in the Window or Fullscreen Mode? . -
How do you set up your Asset Editor?
AmiPolizeiFunk posted a topic in Cities: Skylines Modding - Open Discussion
The Asset Editor is plagued by crashes and it doesn't offer much in terms of debug info when it bombs. I can't count how many hours I have wasted because of the Asset Editor crashing and me not knowing why. At first it was because I had too many mods and assets, so I discovered "-noWorkshop" mode in the Steam launch options One time I had unknowingly resized a texture to something other that a square of 2 - crash city until I discovered the funny dimensions on my texture map Just recently I paid the piper with hours of lost time becase I had too many .crp files in C:\Users\Ami\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Assets. This one killed me because I naturally assumed that something was wrong with my .obj file or my textures. Clearing out my folder fixed the problem, but now my Savegame is broken because it looks for many custom assets in that very same location. Furthermore, to be able to actually use the Asset Editor, it is extremely helpful to locally install a handful of your essential mods, like "Move It!", "Find It!", and if you plan to use ANY screenshots from the editor, you better put in "Daylight Classic" or some other eyecandy mod, because the models look like utter crap when you're in there. FYI for any hesitant lurkers, the way you do this is by finding the number of the mod in the steam workshop URL, searching for its numbered folder in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\255710 directory, and then copying that folder into your C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Assets folder. So my question to you guys is twofold: 1) Do you (or how would you) deal with the problem of too many .crp's in your Addons folder, since you can't have them for the Editor but need them for your Savegame? 2) What is your Asset Editor setup? Do you use -noWorkshop and if so, which mods do you have installed locally? Are there any tricks to make the Asset Editor a more friendly experience? -
Ariosa Capital - Under Development Back in 2015, Ariosa was thought up and conceived. Then a computer crash later... forgotten. Well I'm now going to redesign the city, with efficiency and hopefully with some great mods. For starters we need to plan out the city as whole, the region will come much later. Its story time folks! p.s. This is my first CJ so be genital and advise is always welcome! Dear City Specialist of CityCorp, On behalf of the entire population of Ariosa, thank you for your interest in our small farming community. We indeed voted as a whole and wish that you make the proper investments in our town to turn it into a wonderful thriving City. Our major concern is signing our voters rights away to a "benefactor" Corporation. We love the idea of endless wealth but feel that it is unrealistic to assume that ever person shall be wealthy beyond compare? Please e-mail back with some revelations as to how this works. Mr. Speaker; Jon Right of Ariosa ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As you can see Ariosa right now is a small useless town, at last count only 300 - 400 people. CityCorp has decided to invest in the land around the small town in exchange for a few million dollars. CityCorp also mentioned that once this is done none of the town can ever vote on what happens. The price of a free citizen i guess is about $17k or 29,000,000 simolions... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Mr. Speaker, We at CityCorp do not wish to alarm you with your lack of voting. Votes are not warranted if everything is going perfectly. Speaking of perfection i have attached your crude drawing of the major roads.... in your town. Arios.bmp Please get around to putting it to scale. Also we will need photos of your main street and some city statistics. Dutifully, City Spec. of CityCorp

Good morning guys, I desperately looked for a subject dealing specifically with the use of SC4 under Windows 7 but all of the results I've found does not answer to my question. I had to change my PC because it was getting old and increasingly rowed with Window XP; I was able to make a custom configuration with Windows 7 by a friend who have good knowledges in hardware to play flight simulation with Flight Simulator X, and I dropped somewhat Sim City 4 .... Does it would be possible to walk again the game under Windows 7 without problems, or where should I need specific modules, and if so which ones? Thanks for your answers
