Which is to say you should probably organize any plugins you download in some way that makes sense to you in case you need to update/troubleshoot/remove some particular thing at some point.

Is there a way to keep certain custom lots (from the OP pack) from taking over every single space? Specifically the Cap and Cork liquor store causing neighborhoods like this to pop up all over my city.
Do you have all the building styles (NY/Euro/etc.) enabled at once? You probably should or the game just might not have enough buildings of a certain type for any single style. And I think the Old Fashioned Pack has a consistent visual style regardless of which building style the modders decided to place each building in.

Adelaide

Haha, it's a square city surrounded by a random rectangular green zone separating it from its suburbs. You live in SimCity 5.

You can turn off the grid in the region view so you can sperg about making forests blend like me.

How does the Industrial Revolution mod play with random industrial plugins? I'd love to get it but I have a bunch of industry I've downloaded (and that would be difficult to clear out) and I don't know if they'd play ball.

It's like American suburbia suddenly decided apartments are acceptable.

The town I live in has a bit where in Sim City terms there's a road and streets running parallel on either side. I don't see anything odd here. :v:

Going by googling the term, basically, but for some reason they run parallel to a not at all busy 2-lane road with a 50 kph speed limit.

Set the process' CPU affinity to one core in the task manager. That solved my regular crashing.

Gah, I was going to put in some work on my region, but it appears my game has developed a severe case of random CTD :(. Why can't there be a decent city sim that isn't 10+ years old...
You might already be doing this, but have you set the CPU affinity to a single core in the task manager? SC4 really doesn't like running on multicores.

I'd use signs but the graphics for them are offensively intrusive and ugly. :colbert:

I think I once looked to see if there were mods for that but didn't find anything.
