Hello... I am new in the game(Simcity 4 Deluxe Addition+Rush hour, yes I have it :P) and in the forum. I have downloaded the NAM, SAM, and RHW.
I have 3 questions:
1)I downloaded Simcity 4 terraformer, and I have DirectX issue, I checked the Readme file but the terraformer won't work. It says "DirectX can't be loaded, Maybe there is another application that use DirectX" and shows me the Readme file. what should I do?(I have tryed downloading the latest DirectX and it didn't worked).
2)Pretty nooby question: where can I find the Lot editor and tutorials for it?
3)Can I download building styles(RCI) such as skyscrapers and farms/factories? And ones that have very high employee capacity. And where can I find them?
Thank you :D
Maybe I can help get you an answer for question 1. What operating system is on your computer?

1. Register yourself on the
LEX (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/)
2. Click the
Power Search button on top
3. Select
LEX Category CAM Commercial Offices or
CAM IndustrialNote that CAM buildings do require that you're using CAM though... ::)
Papab2000, My operating system is Windows XP.
I have 2 other questions:
1) what is CAM(what it stands for)?
2) I heard there is a slope mode that makes nice slopes when you drag the road on a slope, I searched the LEX and STEX and I can't find it.

Stupid question, but are you sure you installed it after downloading ? you should run dxsetup.exe after downloading/unziping
I have installed it... it didn't work =.=
Hello DarkChaos! Welcome into the SC4Devotion forums! Did you install the latest DirectX? Make sure that it finishes your install, and that no other programs are running when you install it. Good luck, any other questions, feel free to ask! :thumbsup:
I dont like the onslope mod that much... it may be usefull in some cases but it makes it harder to build tighter areas , mainly when your trying to make a neighborhood on a slope , you have to flatten it first , and with maxis "slopes" you could build on the slope - other than that , it works fine.
also , I had the same problem with the sc4terraformer , you should probably just go to www.windowsupdate.com and see if there's an update for directx , although I haven't tried it yet.this post is probably pretty useless , but I just wanted to say , I had the same problem.
Oh , and theres no such thing as a dumb or nooby question , I ask stuff like that all the time.
Papab, you can get the LE (Lot Editor), Update, and BAT (Building Architect Tool) at the official site. The site is down right now, or I would give you a link. Note that you must be registered to download them.
