I don't know if it's because of the addons and prop packs.. I've added a numerous amount of buildings, NAMS, all kinds of crazy stuff. But my game just clicks out for no apparent reason. Is there any patches for this or any recommendations? I been dealing with this for quite some time and it's getting kind of old
Oh tell me where your freedom lies. The streets are fields that never die. Deliver me from reasons why. You'd rather cry. I'd rather fly

Hello, Bentleys_n_drama.  I am aware of a possible solution for your problem.  Since you have the NAM, you probably know about the transit puzzle pieces.  If you hover one of those pieces over a transit-enabled lot, you will get a CTD (crash to desktop).  More information can be found in this thread.  This seems like a probable cause for the problem you are having, Bentleys_n_drama.  Don't let this discourage you from using the NAM, though.  Just be sure to avoid hovering transit puzzle pieces over transit-enabled lots.  I hope this helps. :)

Hang on. Metarvo is right, but numerous things can cause it too, due to how strict the game is. When does your game click out? Do you even ever get to play the city first? Does it crash right after the intro video? Mine will kick out, if you switching menus too fast, or zooming out too fast due to accidentally bumping my mouse wheel. I have noticed since the sound and music is another thing the game has to load, rather than being hardcoded by the system, I have had better luck with those off. Certain out dated plugins, duplicate ones/out-dated ones can cause issues, day and night can too, and if certain settings are too high, that can be trouble. You may want to give details on those specs. Some stuff is too much for any computer to handle after long hours, computers get tired too, after both humans and computers live with electrical energy inside.
And furthering Metarvo, bus stops and stations would be transit enabled lots. An example of what Metarvo mentioned can be when you have to put a glr avenue station in between glr avenue puzzle pieces. Its risky, but the game has limitations. You also may want to be careful with play speed. I only build/rebuild stuff with the button off, otherwise the cars, trucks, and trains especially will screw up.
