So in your reply you mention moving everything over except Backgrounds. BUT- check this!! These screenshots show you what is in my computer regarding SimCity and Documents folder.ġst image shows C:/users/alyse (which is enraging because my name is Alysha not Alyse and I cant change it 🙄) and the highlighted folder is Documents.Ģnd image shows me opening up the Documents folder. I actually did notice others mentioning the C:\Users\ \Documents\SimCity 4\ Plugins as a place to put the mods and I actually checked that out on my computer last night. Hi!! Thanks so much for the reply!! OK so I'll start with the beginning of your reply. There are some considerations for the order in which items are loaded, but as long as everything you'd like is inside, it should be fine with having them all unzipped (or installed if. This contains the 5 PNG image files which can only be loaded from the installation folder where they currently reside. So it might be worth trying to move over (not copy) all your content items except the Backgrounds folder. What I'm wondering is since you say the NAM works, that might be because the installer defaults to the Documents location which the Steam game is able to load up properly.

This means those would override any files which are the same (should there be duplicates). In terms of the loading order and the installation Plugins folder gets processed first, then the Documents Plugins last. One advantage is if ever needing to uninstall the game, it'd result in any plugins being deleted as well.

The above Plugins folder is considered the recommended location to install content. (Then there's a subfolder for where Regions are stored too.) As with the original disc based version, there should also be a "SimCity 4" folder created in your local user Documents folder. My first thought is perhaps this is something related to folder permissions, or maybe the Steam version doesn't support installing Plugins into the folder where the game is located. Thanks for the detailed description of the issues with screenshots. Thanks for any ideas/help that may be offered. I even tried moving the files to JUST Plug-Ins and no other folder like civics. I do have the NAM (yay!) so that works, but no other files.Īny ideas? I have screen shots to show you what it looks like in my folders. I have Dresden train station, but it wont show up either.

I also have obviously tried several other Mods and ploppables etc. I used to have it on my old game so I know it works. even power and rail!) to see if it went in there. Then I hit EVERY SINGLE ICON (like parks and rewards etc. I then open the game and go to the Waste Management Icon 1st under Trash and look to see if the new trash plant is there. Of course the game is NOT running when I do this I read the Read Me text, and then remove any files (if any) that I may need to, incase there is 2 and I need to choose only 1. I always read the read me files.

I download the file I want (for instance Black Hole Waste management) and then I unzip the file to my Civics Folder IN my Plugins folder.
#SIMCITY 4 MODS NOT DOWNLOADING ZIP#
I have a folder on my Desktop called SimCity zip files. I mention this because NOW, I cant seem to get ANY of my plugins to work? This is what I am doing so please let me know what Im doing wrong here. Instead of the game showing up in my C:/Documents/Game folder, it is showing up likeĬ:/Program Files x86/Steam/steam apps/games/Simcity4delux/plugins

This time I have a new laptop and had to download the game from Steam. So after about 6 years I decided to pick up SC4 again. I followed directions implicitly and had no issues really with going to the STEX and downloading tonnes of cool stuff and being able to use it all. So years ago I played SimCity 4 from a disk on my old computer and was able to add the mods through my plugins folder no problem.
