Detroit - Michigan (File #45)

 

Detroit is the largest city in the U.S. state of Michigan, and the seat of Wayne County. It is the major city among the primary cultural, financial, and transportation centers in the Metro Detroit area, a region of 5.2 million people, and serves as a major port on the Detroit River connecting the Great Lakes system to the Saint Lawrence Seaway. It was founded on July 24, 1701, by the French explorer, adventurer, and nobleman Antoine de la Mothe, sieur de Cadillac (source : Wikipedia).

I tried doing this long ago, and was frustrated with the fact that the water level in SC4 is absolute. With SE Michigan, there are so many lakes at varying levels above Lake St Clair, that you cannot get them to realistically appear on the map. The result is what you got here: A map with only Lake St Clair and the Detroit River as water features.

I like it, but it just looks so plain. Is it possible to get at least the Rouge and Clinton Rivers in there?

5/5 for effort. I'm definitely downloading it.

Ok, I've been playing SC4 for a long time, but I'll be honest, I never imported a custom region before.

When I import this one, I am not getting the entire thing. I don't get Lake St Clair, nor the Detroit River. No water at all. All I get is a huge green map with the cutout to the "east."

Am I the only one? I am very certain it is just something I'm doing wrong....
