Hi all! New to the forums, I've been enjoying SimCity 4 on my Mac for a bit but I'm thinking about switching to the Windows version for better compatibility with a few plugins (most notably night lighting on custom lots--also the Simfox Day and Nite mod is giving me a CTD; I think this is a function of Mac incompatibility?). Is the process as simple as I hope, and it's just a matter of copying the contents of my current Plugins and Regions folders to their equivalents under my new installation of the Windows version? Also what's the best way of actually downloading the Windows version on a Mac? Will Steam even allow me to do this?

If someone is playing SC4 over wineskin ... Some issues (CTD, CJK input and LotEditor)
alicenychto posted a topic in SC4 Mac Users
Hi, recently I wrapped a Simcity 4 (an old Deluxe Edition CD) on my Mac with wineskin. It was inspired by the Reddit discussion and I managed to work out with lightning plugin buildings and BAT. I have been also running LE, iLives and gmax with wineskin. To switch its language I copied a backup of my old locale file (cause I am no longer using windows machine) and modified the registry file with regedit. Though, even if the game can load the maps with non-english filename, the save file will get destroyed once it's being saved and a blank map will replace it. Getting a bit confusing ... I have been working with a bundle of plugins (Plugins folder of 1.6GB including NAM's newest release ver 34), and I haven't encountered big issues... Another small issue could be that sometimes the game will CTD frequently (though I tried to eliminate it, such as limit the CPU core to 1), in some maps. Normally these maps may have some extreme terrains, tunnels, etc. But I noticed another case in a smooth terrain, thinking it might be because I used some plugins (maybe SOMY's HD residences?). However the maps with NAM I'm thinking if it might be the CPU usage overheat that caused CTD ... but is there a way to make the game support multiple core and larger RAM occupation? For the LotEditor, in Windows usually Ctrl + Up/Down is used to move an object over Z direction. But the Mac OS X has already reserved these keys to the Mission Control. I don't know how to deal with it... Sorry for my poor english ... Thank you in advance... -
SimCity 4 and Rush Hour Custom Resolutions in Wineskin
heat33330 posted a topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
I hope I posted this in the right place... I'm running SimCity 4 and Rush Hour in Wineskin but I can't get a custom resolution for it. I set up the 'Virtual Desktop' to display in full screen in 1920x1080 but it just displays in the highest resolution in the game in the top left-hand corner. Any help?
