Hi, I need some help regardin re installation of the game...
I have a 4 gb plug ing folder, I already made a back up for that, but my question is about the main SimCity 4 Maxis fodler that is inside my program files (c:\). I did install CAM and merged the SimCity_1 (I think that was for better functionality?)
So... can I copy the MAXIS folder from ProgramFiles and run the game and dont receive any errors or I need to install the game again?
If you're reinstalling and don't want to have to remerge CAM with SimCity_1.dat, make a back up of SimCity_1.dat and replace the reinstalled version of the file with it.
Do this AFTER you install the patches again, as the patches will fail to patch other files when they try (and fail) to patch the merged SimCity_1.dat. So:
1: Backup SimCity_1.dat.
2: Reinstall the game.
3: Reinstall the patches.
4: Replace the reinstalled and patched SimCity_1.dat with the one you backed up.
The purpose of merging CAM with SimCity_1.dat is to prevent the game from doubling a whole slew of numbers which results in the simulation screwing up.
Thank you for the fast reply, so doing that I won´t have any problems? ... by patches you mean the update SKU 1 and nightlighting?
Also when I install nightlighting... do I really need to install GMAX and lot editor? and all those things? I mean I never use them and I am trying to make some space on my pc.
