#simcity4

[mi-ciudad]

Years ago I made this region to test new plugins and mods and it's kind of a rough, hot mess express--but lately i've grown to like the hap-hazard, organic grids and I sometimes will tun SC4 on and just watch the cars, buses, taxis and ferries move around and sometimes I'll do something super simple--like build a football or baseball field, or even just a few bus stops. I don't get into many big projects anymore--I feel like I've become a simcity retiree.

A preview into things to come.

Some (two different) grand strategy playthroughs in the meantime.

Edit #1

So yep, things go smooth here. With so much scientific + cultural progress per turn, just got to be weary of my reputation / prestige for immersive purposes by not taking foreign cities until at least 1910 or ideally 2050-something (aka when the second stage of the campaign unfolds, the infamous "occupy the world" one I set myself every so often)

Also got my list of worldwide cultures (closely related but not the same as Civilizations nor ancestries) amongst a couple more statistics to lean towards for the constructed world I work on.

Eyn = Levantine

Ibrad = Hungarian

Zebie = Basque

Tatari = Berber

Cao = Vietnamese

Shoshoni

Turchian = Turkish

Eqalen = Inuit

Tersun = Ruthenian

Temu = Nigerian

Hugues = English

Lueur = Mongolian

March = German

Teotlan = Nahuatl

Hwatcha = Korean

Ishtar = Mesopotamian

Taliyan = Iranian

Palche = Quechua

Aberku = Celtic

Samoan = Polynesian

Medran = Castillian

Burgund = French

Bantnani = Karnataka

Assyrii = Mesopotamian

Atepec = Mayan

Rzhev = Ruthenian

Matwa = Swahili

Hangzhou = Chinese

Chunhau = Cantonese

Mersuit = Inuit

Treano = Italian

Arela = Portuguese

Eight major religions and its dedicated map sketch for good measure

Utchwe (Shoshoni pantheon)

Jainism / Buddhism / Confucianism tradition

Al-Asnam (Celtic pantheon)

Ba'hai (monotheistic)

Arianism (from the defunct Christianity dialect)

Chaldeanism (Mesopotamian pantheon)

Calvinism (from the Protestant Reformation)

Tala-e-Fonua (Samoan pantheon)

If you are interested to my game archives, worldbuilding documentation rambles and other very rough WIPs, feel free to ask me for such. It will be a pleasure to share you such. (^*^)

Empty Small Archipelago Map

DOWNLOAD Aster's Archipelago mediafire: https://www.mediafire.com/file/m1gp4jkybgryzs1/Aster%2527s_Archipelago.zip/file

✨ just place it in your terrains folder

✨ simcity4 file so you can see the full map, i tried really hard to make bridges work but for whatever reason it just wouldn't - so the NEW LORE is that Aster's Archipelago used to be one island. Due to disagreements, the townspeople of each respective half of the island decided to separate, permanently. They dug deep ditches and invited the sea into them. Eventually the years went by and the people who lived there no longer remembered why they would ever want to separate in the first place. Can they ever find a way to become a community again? ✨

P.S SEND ME A SCREENSHOT OF UR BUILDS!!! 🙂 i wanna see how u make it ur own

I can't get SimCity4 to work from Steam for the life of me, so I'm going to impart my idea onto the much more tech-savvy simmers of Tumblr. I am surprised nobody has given a go at a 'King's Landing' terrain for TS2. My hope was to create a map similar to the examples above, to get as close enough as possible to that city layout. It's a huge task and I had hoped to do it myself. It would obviously require a bit of tweaking, probably more of a square shape and with less winding roads (and more roads in general if you wanted to create an immersive cityscape). I leave this kernel for anyone who does have SimCity4 and might want to bless us all in future!

charted my tes hood out in photoshop and this is what it should look like. the yellow is a raised up mesa.

now my biggest hurdle is actually loading up simcity4 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Les filles, j'ai réinstallé Simcity4

C'est l'heure de jouer aux petits trains 😤😤😤😤

[frottana-sims]

hi frottana! i saw that you edited Purple River's terrain with SimCity4, how did you do it? I tried to import it but it won't load the map :(

Hi nonnie,

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure anymore since it's been years since I modified the map of Purple River.

But here is a tutorial from mootilda that has good step by step instructions:

But if I remember correctly, I used this tutorial:

Maybe it is a good idea to contact a forum with your request, there are helpful people who can help you better than I can.

I hope you can solve your problem. :3

♦ Happy Simming!

sims 1 and simcity4's jazz-y music vibes are so good like ts3/ts4 music does not hold a candle to how good the soundtracks were

Slowly going towards one TS2 Legacy... Maybe

I mean, I have iterated on such for my conworld for a while but I am definitely having a hard time choosing how to go about it considering I tend to play with many mods, ideally with a couple of my very own coming soon, and prefer having ultimate source code ownership / customization available to me (unlike doing anything with SC4 & TS2/3/4).

It is still 16^12 related, and though I don't enjoy the current source code status of my "modding game workflow" as far as my Civ5 CE Maskoch modpack -> FreeCiv+SimCity4+TheSims2 is concerned, I do like the overall system I have starting putting in place to help manifest my DR goals IRL;

So yeah, here are some of the preparation memopads...

Prior to 1910 (up to two generations behind "ancestors") : May Tiffy, Jana Petri, Kira Fleche, Hugues Tortue; Kala Petit-Ours & Alphonse Grand-Ours;

LEGACY starting context (& overall their goals per "generation")

~1910 : Milan "Kelly" Petit-Ours + Nil "Bayes" Main-Noire;

As the inhabitants of the recently created city of Glowing Dust (we really can revisit that name, I swear) were asleep in their newly built houses, the Watcher, who is never satisfied, bought SimCity4 to create a new terrain for the weirdly named neighbourhood.

Is the Watcher satisfied? Nope. Will she ever be? Not in a million years. But she's ready to play.

Good morning to the people on Reddit who one day sat down and decided that Dr. Vu’s SimCity 4 portraits make for a beautiful meme template. They do

I CANNOT HELP MY SELF!

Tonight, I had this sudden need to start a new Strangetown and as usual, I felt the need to alter the terrain map just a little...
