My computer just started freaking out because it had a gig and some change left on the HD. Decided to do a little program sweeping and saw this:

:o This must be wrong... but I shall test anyway because... uh, damn.

SOO...
turns out it was the Street Addon Mod, and definitely wasn't 97 gigs... or NAM. What the...?
thats bad. The SAM file is somewhere around 10mb. Not sure what you have there.
Most likely, it's a display bug in Vista (that is Vista, isn't it?). If you check the file or folder in Windows Explorer, it should give you the proper size.
Yes, that is windows vista. The icons on the left for the NAM simulator and for SimCity 4 Deluxe don't look a thing like they should... And you might want to try deleting the NAM simulator file - if it takes a really long time then perhaps it was somehow inflated to 97GB, but if it takes just a few seconds then it's not displaying the right file size for some reason. (Those are just guesses but still they're advice of some sort)
Talking about Vista here. I have Vista, and did not notice that. When I have taken a look at properties, I noticed it doesn't say the file size right at first, like Plugins, it has to seperately load that information for a time, untill accurate. I also noticed when I sorted folders some how, that this one way, it turns the one subfolder into the main folder. And I noticed another error where I had two folders in one spot, with the same name. ()what() It does turn out to load SimCity 4 faster than XP though, compared to how much junk I have in the trunk, despite I no longer have Intel Inside.
I had this once a loooooooong time ago:
