Yes, that's how it's done.

Hi everyone! :D

Part 2 of Ralf's series on how to make your own new city style was cancelled last week due to a thunder storm, but its back on the menu as live this Thursday.

In this second part of the series Ralf will be showing us how to set up city functions and how to create the template.

Come and join in the chat and ask your questions live on YouTube tomorrow (31 August 2023):

Or watch it later either there, or here on the forum:

Sorry to hear that, Jim.

You can always watch the recording later when you are better.

Ingenious substitution :)

For me the changes would be simple and take only a few minutes, but where I am using CC3+ and don't have CC3 I can't assume that helping you that way would create a map that you could still open in the much older software. I changed the colour of the grid in the second screen shot.

It's just a whimsical thought rather than any kind of a 'must do', but if CC3 is so much different and less useful than CC3+ have you considered upgrading? The cost should be available on your account page when you log in - on the "Offers" tab.

I guess it depends if they are kept in them permanently or go out to pasture. When I do stables I tend to make them big enough for the horse to basically live in (though not ideal, not everyone has a nice field to let them run around and graze), so mine are larger than any of yours. I go for 15 ft square, but I do love the larger breeds, like Fresian and Shire.

Nice map, and awesome work on the statue :)

Hi Nivenus :)

I'm not a tech expert by any stretch of the imagination, so for more detailed help you might have to wait until someone more tech-savvy arrives on the thread. But I do have a shared experience that may or may not be relevant.

A couple of months ago I had massive issues with Explorer crashing in Win 11 and then continually failing to restart, so that all the monitor could do was flash about twice a second leaving no time for me to do anything at all except hit the restart button on the PC. It was so severe that I had to ask for help from the PF team and from the PC manufacturer to try and sort it out. (My machine is only 9 months old)

In the end I had to uninstall a piece of third party software that allowed me to place the Start bar where I like it at the top of the screen (Win 11 is totally inflexible and places it at the bottom of the screen whether you like it or not), and prevent the optional Win 11 updates. That means switching off the "Get the latest updates as soon as they are available" option in the settings under "Updates". These optional updates are a kind of beta release (as I understand it) and can sometimes be a bit buggy.

Since doing those two things I haven't had any problems with Explorer at all.

You're welcome :)

We're usually around the place quite a lot.

Was everything ok once you finished installing it?

EDIT: Stupid question. I wasn't really all that awake when I asked it. I take it you haven't yet managed to install CC3+?

I think this adequately illustrates that even though FB has more active members, the forum is still the best place to present maps. I can see them much better here!

Great work, Daniel
