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

Excellent mod, but it does say this loads individually from SimCity 4, right? I assume this means I can still play regular SimCity 4, no? I can't as whenever I try to load SimCity 4 it loads SimMars instead. Is this suppose to happen?

Um having a problem with the screen. Everytime I play it, the screen fades to black, and then come back on all Glitchy. Can't figure out the reason for this, then when I minimize the screen and go back to the desktop. I get an warning message that my Display driver has recovered, from a failed attempt. Or something like that, anyone know why this happens?

I had tons of mods... AND NOW THEY'RE ALL GONE!
You may have heard something like this, but they're not gone at all.
Same with regions, they were moved to separate backup folders, called
Plugins_BACKUP_SIMMARS
and
Regions_BACKUP_SIMMARS

So remember this: Plugins and regions are [s]re[/s]moved

This is the case when closing SimMars unproperly.

Does this completely replace Simcity 4 or can you play normally as well as SimMars?

This mod is garbage. I install it up yet I can't launch it. It just crashes. It doesn't even give me the freedom to choose where I want to place the files before I install it. 0/5
