xD Maybe someone can shed some light >_< Thanks
I usually edit descriptions like that =o it doesn't seem to be working for this hospitals thou
I was able to edit his education buildings without problems
Also Bywater Springs Hospital building description can't seem to be edited, well you can't seem to use "Monthly Cost: #m:ea54d286#" "Capacity : #0x4AA60EBC#" It will just display the same thing
I just manually typed the Actual Capacity and Cost.

The Capacity ID needs to be without the "0x", but with a preceeding "d:" instead.
Like this:
Monthly Cost: #m:ea54d286#
Capacity: #d:4aa60ebc#

The reason that there are no LTEXT files is that the Item Name and Item Description have been left in the exemplar and not converted to LTEXT files.
When you edit LTEXT files in Reader you need to click on Apply at the top of the right hand window for it to take effect.

Ahhh =o but i still can't seem to change the descriptions in the 3 simgoober hospitals thou :( They are all edited correctly if you look at the first screenshot of my post. Right now in-game those 3 show there name in the description like the screenie lol.
for the Bywater Springs, how do i convert them to LTEXT ?
Try LEProp for editing the lot descrpition. For someone who usually edits descriptions you seem to have a lot of trouble. I would suggest looking through the modding tutorials section:
http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?board=54.0
I tried the program.. the same result :/ I tried editing the other 2 hospitals as well.. same thing.
The Program is weird, it says there's no monthly cost on the hospital, even thou there is. If i use SC4Tool or Reader.

Diggis: Please try editing it yourself, its a different problem. Unless there is something i am missing
If the LTEXT file pointed to by the Item Description Key contains invalid characters or LUA tokens,
or if the TGI address is wrong, the game will pick whatever is written in Item Description instead.
I suppose SG_GooberGenUrgentCare is what the Item Description property contains.
EDIT: And if the Item Description is missing, the Exemplar Name would be shown instead.
I'm not sure if it's a copy/paste error, but you are still using an invalid token in that LTEXT file.
#0x4AA60EBC# is not a valid token. #d:4AA60EBC# would be valid though.
The "Monthly Cost" input field that is displayed in LEProp is intended for "basic" lots, like parks. Civic buildings require a more comprehensive treatment since they have several properties that control the budget sliders. Click on the icon with the "ยง" sign, then you should see two lines - "Health Staff" and "Health Coverage", which are associated with the two budget sliders. If you look at the building exemplar file with the Reader, you will see that there are four "Budget Item" properties in total.
For displaying the capacity (or other variables) in the LTEXT file, you also need to add special properties to the building exemplar file, in this case "Catalog Capacity". For the monthly cost, there's a similar one called "Catalog Monthly Cost". This is due to the fact that the actual capacity or monthly cost of the building is varying due to the budget sliders, but a fixed value is displayed in the LTEXT file. For the monthly cost, it's the sum of "Health Staff" and "Health Coverage".
BTW, when adding LTEXT files (name and description) with LEProp, you might encounter a small bug. For some reason, only one LTEXT file is created, even if you enter a text in both fields. In this case, add only one, Apply and Save, then reopen the lot and add the other one. Once both LTEXT files are created, it shouldn't matter anymore, though. Also, when you're done with the LTEXT files, open the lot with the Reader and delete both the "Item Name" and "Item Description" properties, so they don't interfere with the LTEXT files anymore.

Quite right! Thanks, Andreas! :thumbsup:
The ingame medical clinic uses this in the Item Description LTEXT file:
Monthly Cost: #m:6ad54804#
Patient Capacity: #d:4aa60ebc#
0x6ad54804 is the Name Value for the property
Catalog Monthly Cost
Ahhh! Thanks so much it was stupid of me, i did a wrong copy+paste again :'(
Thank you guys so much for having such patience with me..
The mistake was
Monthly Cost: #m:6ad54804#
Patient Capacity: #d:4aa60ebc#
x_X ZZzzz stupid stupid ()sad() :'(
Sorry guys.
Btw, i was able to add the LText for that other hospital :D Thanks again
