Title: Lot Editor Problem
Post by: CapTon on January 05, 2014, 10:09:12 AM
Hello,

I encountered a problem with Maxis's Lot Editor. Whenever I click on a lot in the lot selection, and it goes to the place where you edit the lot, it starting jerking around and the whole thing is shaking, including the popup message that appears when I try to close out of the program. I've tried uninstalling and installing.

Welcome to SC4D.

I am not sure that this will be a solution, but similar things have happened to me before because my Pluginsfolder was too big to handle for my computer and the program.

How big is your Pluginsfolder btw?

If it is a problem, try to cut the Plugins in half, keep only the props and textures you want (proppacks) then try it again, the problem should be solved.

I only have the NAM and a few other mods. My plugins folder is not huge at all :) but thanks for replying.

Could possibly be you default graphics settings causing the flickering. You could try software rendering as well. for some pointers on graphic resolutions try here.

Or.... you give the SC4PIM  (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2260)a try. It has a better Lot Editor anyway.  :)
