Go here ... http://www.starwraith.com/forum/viewtop ... #pid150452

... to learn about the Navigation Console.

As for the modded cities, they only work with the old version of the game, not the Expansion. Why? Because, in the Expansion, cities are placed at different latitudes whereas, in the previous version of the game, all cities were located at a set latitude.

Hi NightFall, welcome to the forum!.....

And like Marvin said! You probably need to remove the City mods and see if the Standard Cities look nomal! If they do not look normal without the mods then something else is going on and you might need to reinstall the game! If the Standard Cities do look normal without the City mods then you will have to redo the mods somehow to make them game compatible with the Expansion! Maybe the new Customizing kit for the Expansion can tell you what to do!.....

You should be able to use such city mods in the expansion, the orientation of such mods may just need to be adjusted. Try rotating the mesh 90 degrees down on X. It's either that or 90 degrees up should work.

Hello vice may I say its a Honor....But one simple Question....How do I do all of that....I mean im a simple gamer...never toyed with mods...Just used them. Im sure I could do it Just dont know how...Check out my Screen Shot...I think it would be 90 down..Thanks for your time:)

The easiest way to do it would be to use the same modelling program used to create them originally. Then just rotate and save/export. Otherwise, it would require importing it into a modelling program to rotate. If you know of the source of the mod, perhaps the originaly artist would be willing to perform the edit for you and provide an update to the mod.

Soooooo ... latitude doesn't matter. Meaning, one mesh fits all orientations. Okay. I guess the old proverb about "assuming" got me again.

The Expansion is fairly new. Eventually, somebody might get around to making the city mod work. So, keep one eye on the forum.
