Instead of picking and choosing from my list of recommended items below, you're even better off just downloading the SkyePack. Read the "User Generated Content" section in the SimCity messageboards Video Series: SimCity Guide to Custom Creations by Benji Newell of the SimNation Guild (Great resource describing the process of how buildings are modeled in SimCity).Read about, and download the SimCity Pak Mod Tool.I highly recommend it.įor an explanation on how the mod manger works, watch Monte Rico's video below. Thankfully there is a mod manager that can be used to toggle between Online and Offline games. If you run an Offline Mod in an online game it will cause rollbacks and crashes. Thankfully, the offline mods usually start with "Offline If you try to play an Offline-Only mod in an Online game, you'll get errors and rollbacks. Some mods can only be used in Offline mode.If you don't use the default location, some mods won't work. Is origin installed in the default directory? It should be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\ and the games should be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityData.If you can't get one to work, try another to make sure it's not the mod itself with the problem. Make sure the first one works before installing additional ones. Try installing only one and see if it works. If you're downloading your mod from simtropolis, make sure you've signed in to your account.If it comes with a readme.txt file make sure to check that out to make sure there's not some other process. It's my understanding that most recent/popular mods assume you're up to build 638 or better.Note: Sometimes mods will have different installation routines. Maxis's official patch puts Rush Hour/Deluxe Edition to build 638, and the Steam version comes patched to 641. I have what is, as far as I know a Steam version of SC4 Deluxe Edition, and I have version 1.1.641. The details tab will tell you the version. Then go to the Apps folder and right-click->properties on SimCity 4.exe. However, I'm sure this has been done, posting cities (and hopefully a list, if not links, to the mods used).Īs for the version number, go to the SimCity 4 program folder (if you got it through Steam, the folder is wherever you put Steam, and then steamapps\common\SimCity 4 Deluxe). The only catch with this is that you'll need to have all the same mods that the original owner did, otherwise some significant portion of your beautiful cityscape will be replaced with brown parcel boxes denoting missing content. Technically, posting region files isn't so much a "mod" situation as it is a situation of sharing a save file, effectively. High-tech industry will only show up and start generating skyscraper office buildings once your resident sims are educated enough for there to be a supply of workers to match job demand. Two examples: I saw one particular unified set of buildings that would only appear in Chicago-stage zone conditions, in the progression from small town to dense urban jungle styles. In the case of non-ploppables, they'll appear when their conditions are met. Some landmarks do provide jobs/other benefits, mind, and some buildings provide only one or the other version of lot. Some buildings come in two forms, ploppable landmarks and regular lots that provide jobs and grow/evolve as land values change.
