About This File

G'Day Simtropians,

 

Today, I looked into these backgrounds a little closer and deciding they were a little gummy thought I would fix them up somewhat.

 

These new versions are more like HD, there are more stars and they are much more sharper at all zooms. The bottom pics show the old versions at the same zoom level.

 

Thanks to everyone who downloaded, commented and rated the originals. I am going to banish them to the nether regions of the etherworld as they have become superfluous and take up space on the STEX.

 

Same deal backup the png files in C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4\Plugins then overwrite with these new ones.

 

That's it and thanks

 

Cheers

For some reason, this new version is glitching my screen somehow. When I pan the view, there are copies of my Mayor Mode menu all over the screen, and there aren't any stars beyond the city, only blackness. The old version works fine, however. I run the game with software graphics rendering.

Thanks for the comments, Gents and Gentesses. arius1127, how do you mean it is black with no stars? Do you have an old crt monitor? or do you run your monitor with low brightness level?

Awsome, I'm going to give this a try, I never had the original but from the pics I can see this is a big improvment, looks so much better than the boring maxis background good job. 10\10

Thank you for this. Also noticed you stopped doing this. I hope that whatever you are doing now is enjoyable for you as your mods are for us.

Thanks again for this. I am just coming back to SC4 after a few years and this is something nice to come back too. :)
