Big Problems with better cities

[SmackX]

Hey guys im stuck on better cities right now.

Heres what i did so far:

Downloading Better_Cities_4.5.2 part 1 and 2

Extracting both

Join those together with hjsplit (winrar didnt give me any options of extracting it)

Extract that zip out of the parts

create the omod with BetterCities Resources BSA 4.5.2 and BetterCities 4.5.2

Now ive got a bunch of yellow oversized warningshields called city. That normally means so textures or meshes are missing doesnt it?

 

btw im using fcom without francescos if that makes a differnce...

 

Please help me if you can! and tell me if it would help to post my load order :thumbsup:

your post reads that you only downloaded 2 files

 

Better cities requires 3 downloads

i downloaded Better Cities 4-5-2b, Better Cities Resources 4-5-2 Part 1 and Better Cities Resources 4-5-2 Part 2. As said after multiple extracting i created the omod with Better Cities 4-5-2b and Better Cities Resources BSA 4.5.2. so all main files on tesnexus :confused:

Uninstall it completely, following the directions to a T, even if there seems like steps that are unnecessary.

 

Then reinstall manually.

 

 

That fixed the same problem for me.

What is "multiple extracting"? You should've just extracted part 1 (.001) of the resources archives. Then add the newly created resources are archive to a BSA. Manually installing BC is unnecessary.

yeah its maybe unnecesary but it worked for me anyways! :biggrin: :thumbsup:

Thanks for the help! :smile:

I was having the same problem and when I tried to extract the second set of files I was getting an invalid archive error -- because I was doing it 1 at a time and you need them both together.

 

If anybody else has this problem, there is a page posted here on tesnexus by ismelda that tells the tale of "How to...."

 

PLEASE NOTE: there are 3 (THREE) extraction processes. 1st from the 2 parts of the split resource .zip downloads here on tesnexus (that's actually 2 extractions if you want to count that way -- in which case it would be a 4-way extraction process) then you have to extract those 2 files as one (have them both in the same folder when you do the next extraction ... just start the process on part 1 and the second half will follow automatically) this gives you the complete archive that I'm guessing was too big to keep together for a single download. Finally you will extract that single archive and it will give you a BSA folder containing 8 other folders and a read_me.txt. that you can BAIN, OMOD, or self install.

 

Again, thanks to ismelda for a nice, albeit half hidden, "how to" guide for this at the link below:
