Title: Boxed Buildings
Post by: Senefelder on August 07, 2008, 08:51:27 AM
I've been playing for a week since I installed the basic properties such as NAM, CAM, Models, and so on

Then when the city grows up, I find that some of the buildings are boxed, truly, it's really disturbing!  :bomb:
Now my city (although I have only built 6 cities so far) has grown up very quick, and I get many skyscrapers building office
One of the boxed buildings is "ST HELEN", it comes up, but still in box!

How can I avoid them?

Also, when I installed from BSC exchange, sometimes after install some stuff, there will be some little tab and it's written that something's wrong, "reinstall", or "this is installed correctly". Then I picked the first one...

So, what should I do?

Thanks be4 :)

OK, if you are getting brown boxes you don't have all the dependencies for the file.  You need to check what lots you have that show the brown box, and then check the readme for that lot and download all the dependencies.

Yes, you are missing a file. You need to query the lot and find out what it is.  Then go and read the readme.  It will contain a list of files, and hopefully links, that will point you in the right direction for the missing files.

On the install issue........I get this with Vista about half the time. Just click the box that says 'This program installed correctly'. Vista just doesn't recognize the installer.   :D

Ok, maybe I will install all the dependencies again....

I use windows vista, and play it in laptop, not PC....

I found the missing files
I though that all stuffs I downloaded can be ready to play as itself..
Then I realize, when I read the "readme" I found that some files which have to be downloaded from simtropolis

Can somebody help me the list, what should I download more (outside SC4Devotion.com) ?

Thanks... :)

You should ask your question about that building over at Simtropolis, as that is where you downloaded it from.
