About This File

SimMars is a mod for SimCity 4 taking the game to Mars. It will bring new buildings, transportation systems, user-interface and music and will replace the Maxis SimCity 4 content as far as possible, giving you the feeling to play a colony on Mars.

Beta 3 is another step towards the goal of SimMars. Most main game functions and buildings have been replaced and the mod plays fairly well now. However, it is still a beta and hence unfinished. Not everything is replaced yet or fully functional.

SimMars will install and play completely separate from your SimCity 4 installation.
___________________________________________________________________
BETA 3 FILESIZE: 277MB
Due to the size, the installer is hosted on an external file hosting site (Mod DB). Clicking the "Download" button will take you to the page where the main package can be found.
___________________________________________________________________
UPDATE: There's been a bug discovered where the Mars Face landmark has no model file.
Easy fix: Download the this file and place into /My Documents/SimCity 4/Plugins_SIMMARS/+Landmarks/SM_LM_MarsFace

Download the SimMars Region Pack here to add 7 new regions to your game.

I thought it would have been interesting to use a torrent setup here instead of hosting on an external site. It is fantastical work that all of the developers on SimMars are doing. I thank you very much for your contributions to the Sim Community!

@wonderboy145: A torrent upload would have the disadvantage that it depends on users seeding it continuously and also the speeds would depend on the seeds. @SteveOH: we didnt have the chance to test it with the Steam version. We'd love to get this sorted with someone who has it. Can you post in the Beta 3 thread and we'll take it from there?

best game mod ever of course im biased cause i like sim city 4 a lot some minor changes to come i hope building and transport animations, train/monorail/elevated train adjustment and animation the emergency services to drive and fly with i cant think of anything else right now it is very much playable and enjoyable ps: no im not a cheater, the billions of sim money in my account are a matter of corruption, just like in real life

I can see after the initial rush how a torrent-like setup would die out; thanks for the response. Tried it out and wasted a whole day glued to the computer screen. All I can say is, an epic mod!

It not only did overwrite my SC4 data, but when I uninstalled it, thinking that I would be able to play deluxe normally, surprise! It was still there. Then I deleted the folder and reinstalled SC4! Same thing. This mod, even though being good itself, shouldn't replace SC4. 3/5. I'd give 5/5 if it didn't replace SC4 and wasn't so persistant, that even after uninstalling it SC4 would remain Sim Mars.
