Maglev Station Bug
I plopped a maglev station, but it appeared as only a piece of track. I tried deleting the track by removing the road, but the track remained. When I try to rebuild the road, it says there is a bui...
Hey @Littlebewolf - As I said in my previous post, SimCity is a legacy game so there won't be any more patches or fixes. Were you able to try the suggestions in the threads? Deleting everything around the tracks or deleting from the station edit menu, if you can get into it, seems to have worked for some others. If you try it, I'd be interested to hear if the mod suggestion worked. If I ever run across this issue in one of my own cities, I'd like to know. I have used a couple of mods from that site to help work around problems I've had. Specifically, there is another bug where high density streetcar tunnels will sometimes refuse to delete. It's very similar to this maglev station track bug. I put in the mod, was able to delete the tunnel, and then took the mod back out.
I agree it's a frustrating bug, and with no hope of ever getting a patch to fix it, the best we can do is try to find a workaround. I don't think of my helping players as "working for free", I just like to help others. Believe me, what I do or comment on in the forums has no effect on what EA does with the game. But, I sincerely appreciate the concern 🙂
Replying from 2021! :D I tried the Maglev mod package and it fixes the problem. Easy. So if you are a time traveler like me or happen to pull this game out of mothballs again after a long time and search for the answer to this bug, the above post by BLACKWIDOW with the package fix is still the best way to fix this and the package is still there. Easy fix, just back up your game and put the package folder in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityData and you will be fine. (Folder structure may very based on your PC so make sure you find the right folder!)
Thanks. (Hops back in TARDIS and flies away.)

And didn't even offer me a ride ☹️
Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm glad to hear the mod works, and that it's still there! Simtropolis is a great resource for all of us time traveling SimCity lovers. Happy Building!
