Hi, i downloaded mostly all of simgoobers lots & dependencies about a month ago, everything worked fine and i had no brown boxes, my pc crashed over the holidays and i reinstalled the game and all of the files that i had saved on a flash drive everything is fine ecxept SG Commercials Models Medium Stores lots i downloaded everyone of them have brown boxes and i have all the dependencies that are required am i doing something wrong?? thanks in advance.
If you have brown boxes, then you are missing the model files. Check to make sure that you've installed them. And it may be unrelated, but make sure you've remembered to download & install buildingsasprops 1&2. If not, find them in our Maxis Downloads section (click on Support near the top of the screen). These are the most common unmentioned dependencies.
also from what I remember the STEX has SG's stuff in individual form while the LEX has updated versions in packs, by the sounds of it you got it from the STEX. If it's the model files you're missing then I recommend throwing out what you have and simply downloading the whole collection in one go off the LEX here: http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1122, 241kb for all 40 (I assume it's all of them) SG medium commercial stores.
