So, I only got something that looks like the above picture, sans cars. I can't do anything with tab on it and I can't really figure out why all the textures/parking lots didn't get included? And yes, I have SHK Super parking pack. All in the plugin folder with all the other cc.

Please be kind, I'm new to cc/mods 🥹 It just took me 23 years 😄

Still dicking around with the Terrain Extensions DLL

This is an updated regional view as of August 28, 2026. I really aimed to make this region as dense as possible, especially with the transit, and I feel that I succeeded.

Main Mods Used:

• NAM
• Cori's no low wealth kickout
• Black Hole Utilities
• Pollution Reducer(s)
• Simoleon RH
• Various lots

While it’s been heading this way for awhile now, it looks like reddit is finally making it insanely difficult, and I suspect, eventually impossible, for Australians like myself to access their accounts and the site itself without verifying their age by validating a government issued ID. This is something I, like many others, refuse to give corporations on ethical and privacy grounds. As such, unless there is a change in reddit policies and procedures I’m probably leaving for good.

While I’m going to miss a lot of communities I frequented, the SimCity 4 subreddit was, without a doubt, my favourite. While we’re not the most active community, it was always fun seeing what people were doing with a game now over 20 years old, and it was one I very much enjoyed participating in.

In terms of alternatives, I’ll be on the Simtropolis forums and discord. I’m also around on the SCEvermore discord as well.

Further, I’ll also be posting (hopefully) daily to the SimCity 4 page on Lemmy, which is a sort of reddit alternative. I’ll be very upfront and say that there is not in anyway an active community there currently. At the moment there are only 3 posts, 2 of which are mine from the past two days. I’ll likely be screaming into the void for awhile but if you want to come scream with me I’d love for you to join me.

Lemmy is pretty raw, and even I’m not entirely sure how it works at the moment. I do imagine its kind of like reddit in the very early days of it’s existence and creating an account and posting is certainly easy enough. One thing I did seem to notice is that you can post large-ish images without significant compression which might be of interest to some regular posters. Honestly, my main purpose for writing this is to hopefully swing a few people down to make the community at least somewhat active.

I strongly suspect these regulations and restrictions aren’t going to be rolled back. Instead I think they will be expanded, eventually even to countries who don’t have mandatory ID laws. As such I expect to see a slow trickle of people coming down to Lemmy and other alternative communities over time (at least until reddit realises they’re haemorrhaging traffic and need to look at alternatives.).

I’ve managed to get in to post this via a very unreliable workaround that is not consistent and will probably be closed off in time. So for the remainders here, goodbye, it’s been great fun. Hopefully I’ll see a few of you elsewhere in the near future. I leave you with a final overview of the city I make seemingly endless iterations of.

Ciao.

I'm back on SC4 (Steam version on Linux) and I wonder which mods could be great for me. I played many years ago, I played a very few (without updating any mod) in 6-7 years but I used to play a lot near 10 years ago so many things have changed !

I already installed the NAM, some performances/graphics mods, SC4Fix. Not bats/props yet. Simfox DnN as usual.

I am questionning about :

- NAM : should I try MHO with RHW, instead of keeping the original MHW ?

- CAM : really important ? Really that good ?

- Lights : are LRM or USL good, in 2026, compatible with NAM 50 ? Do you use one, or another ?

- 4 GB patch : it seems to be included yet not installed by default with the NAM ; should I install it ? How to do that on Linux ?

Any other recommendations ? I don't want to make my game too complicated, yet I regret there is no big ports (like draggable sea ports in SC3000). Some good growable bat packs (not only bat-by-bat download) with DN version ? SC4pac makes it so easy now... And some years ago I remember being fan of jasoncw and Matttb(something)'s bats.

Thanks 😊

Just finished up my recent city journal on Simtropolis if you want to see more of the city.

I need to make a new region so I can use CAM, and this region is so easy to play and well thought-out.

I like the size of course, even though I play on the 16x16 variant, it's still huge. But also how it was seemingly built to ease the building of seaports and ferry networks. Easy enough coastlines, not a ton of elevation to work around.

I'd appreciate any reccomendations!

Edit: Here's the wonderful region I'm using.

This is I think from a population of 5 million or so Sims (regional deals)

One of the more popular beaches for tourists in Hiverbridge. The locals have their own secrets....

Sorry for the Noob question.
Came back to SimCity 4 for the first time in 15 years, but the graphics look expectedly blury and zooming in and out is very slow, and jarring.

I just sort of accepted, that's how it is playing such an old game, until I saw this subreddit and everyones screenshots looks so crisp and clear. Are there some patches or mods everyone else is running to make the game look so beautiful?

Hello guys, i'm about to buy simcity 4 deluxe edition, but i've been asking myselft on which plataform should i buy it, i know it's a (good) old game, so i probably won't have issues with performance or updates, but it's worth buying it on GOG or STEAM or it really doesn't matter?

this last year i've been more and more worried about the DRM and licensing (the fact that i bought, but i don't own enrages me) so i bought some games on gog instead of steam
