Rafael_Lopes · July 22, 2009, 04:40:22 PM

Hi, I have a problem with the plugins that I had download on http://simcity4.ea.com/... they just don't appear in the game...

do you know what's the problem??

Thank you!

moin Rafael_Lopes,

... guess you mean downloads for simcity4 ...

allright, first, make sure you got "simcity4 deluxe" or simcity 4 original with the "rush hour" expansion pack, cause only users with copies of those will be able to view B.A.T. created buildings. secondly, the unpacked downloads have to be in your "plugin" folder ('\My Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins'), to show up in the game.
hope that helps ...

hi beutelschlurf,

Yes I got simcity 4 original with the rush hour expansion pack, but when I download the buildings, nothing appears on the plugins folder..

did you unfold the files? you have to do that first! remember that there have to be unfolded into the "plugin" folder ...

None of the files available on the official exchange (http://simcity.ea.com/exchange/lots/) have surpassed any kind of quality control or scrutineering. Thus, there is no guarantee that they will actually work in the game.

Unless you know how to check and modify your downloads in e.g. iLive's Reader, I would not recommend downloading anything from there. Except for the official landmarks of course (http://simcity.ea.com/coolstuff/landmarks/index.php)...

Well... they worked a couple of time ago, but since I have my new computer, the plugins don't work...

sorry, but what do you mean with "unfold the files", I don't get it...

when you download the files, you need to right click the zipped folder and click 'extract' Than you put the new file in your plugins.

Yes I know.. but what zipped folder?

beutelschlurf · July 23, 2009, 11:56:37 PM

moin Rafael_Lopes,

... "zipped" means here, that those files are packed with a certain packer-programm that is called "WinZip" (users of computer call those files sometimes "zipped", cause they packed them with that very programm)

I apologize if I did not explained the problem correctly...

Well... let me show you a print screen of my plugins folder:

See? there's nothing on the folder after I download the files, I don't know why

Fabian93 · July 24, 2009, 03:33:17 PM

Did you look into your Downloadfolder? Usually files are saved into that folder.

beutelschlurf · July 25, 2009, 02:28:37 AM

moin Rafael_Lopes,

mmmh, what you can do now is just look and find all the files you've downloaded for SC4 and put them into your plugin folder, ... it should work.
... try to order or organize them, as well!

Do a file search.

I did once, without any result...

Now I have another problem, off-topic... but don't worry...

My city has a great system of transport collective, but suddenly, all transports are not used anymore, I don't know why, maybe is a game bug...

Did you reinstall NAM? What traffic plugin did you use? You really need to provide way more information on the problems you are having. Saying something is wrong, what is it, doesn't help. A few screenshots, any other information like what you have installed thats relavant (ie have you reinstalled NAM recently) is necessary for us to help you.

What is NAM??

Here is a screenshot:

The same with the other transports... monorail, boats, bus, train...

NAM= Network Addon Mod

EDIT: forgot to ask, what about road and rail usage?

Yes I have the NAM, I need to reinstall it?

Road traffic seems to be the only used in this city
