Quote"I am quite pleased with the contents. A bunch of these creators I have never heard of but have some interesting content. Tried and true favourites are here: FrankU, Mattb, Jasoncw, JBSimio and so on. But it is so "well organised"
I love it. "
What's Included?
Once again, the STEX DVD Team have picked out the very best files submitted to the STEX. As always, the discs are well organized and searchable for your enjoyment, comprised of 1000-2000 items for you to use in your SimCity 4. Here's your chance to own some of the best work from the community. These discs are a great way to ensure you have the very best files spanning the years, and with your donation, you'll be supporting Simtropolis so we can keep community thriving!
But can't I already download these from the STEX?
Yes you can. These discs -- with very few exceptions (some authors have contributed exclusive items that can only be found on these discs) -- contain what you can find online. The difference is that we've done the collecting for you based on quality and feedback from the community.
What about dependencies?
For each of the STEX Collections, some files may still require dependencies.
These are commonly hosted on the STEX or at other community exchanges including the SC4Devotion LEX, and are needed for content items to function correctly. Examples include for custom models or textures on lots. Please check details provided in descriptions, and also any readme documentation contained within each file. Should you have any issues locating certain dependencies, feel free to post on the forums in a new topic or the Can't Find It thread.
Note: The "Building as Props" files are likely to be common dependencies for lots incorporating Maxis RCI buildings. Some files may not state these as dependencies as they were originally presumed. However they are often required, so these (and other Maxis files) can be downloaded from here.
NEW: What does it require?
All the STEX Collections are now provided in plain ZIP archive form, which allows easy extracting and navigation on any operating system.
Previously it needed the ISO file(s) mounting to be seen as a virtual drive on your computer, or an actual physical drive. This is no longer the case in the currently offered versions. Each ZIP contains a START.HTM file which is a web page file to open the local navigator.
How do I get it?
Give and Receive! SimCity 4 continues to thrive largely thanks to players and content creators in communities like Simtropolis. In order to help keep Simtropolis operational, we rely largely on donations from members like you. As a token of our gratitude, donating means you get a disc like this as a thank-you gift!
By donating a minimum of $30, we will send you this Volume 5 DVD for your collection! Donations are accepted via regular payment methods. This includes PayPal (an account is not required), and the process is quick and simple. Upon receipt of your donation, you can download your gift immediately. No further action is needed!
NEW: Can I download it?
Yes, we now offer a digital download option by default that lets you simply extract each and browse locally on your computer. This is identical to the physical version which used to be offered as standard.
Please Note: Digital is the default option of receiving the discs, and we will only mail them to you physically upon special request. 
How large are the ZIP files?
They are each of the following sizes:
- STEX Disc Vol 3 (2.4 GB)
- STEX Disc Vol 4 (2.5 GB)
- STEX Disc Vol 5 (4.0 GB)
The time taken to download will of course depend on your internet connection and any bandwidth caps.
How long does it take to get to me?
The standard digital ZIP downloads can be downloaded immediately as soon as you receive access to each file.
Please note that each volume is unique and does not contain content on other volumes.
This means 3, 4 and 5 are still very relevant today -- keep in mind SC4 is a 20 year old game!
I've already have the STEX Collections. Can I just donate to the site?
Yes. You can still donate directly to Simtropolis via PayPal here.
Note: This method is only for donating directly, without receiving a STEX Collections gift.
Please donate from the top of this page instead (via Gumroad) if you wish to receive access to the STEX Collections.
Each donation is very much appreciated!
