About This File
This is a Lakes Region Map that is based upon the Mississippi River. Not sure of the actual area
but it's fairly accurate and is based off a satellite photo. This map is more conducive for building
cities and is mainly flat with only a few furrows and some "divots" which can be remedied in SC4
Terraformer. There is a main furrow for the Mississippi river but SC4 did not render the water for
it.
Greyscale : 4097x4097
Original Image : 9104x5916

This map is 16x16 large city tiles.
Installing the map :

2. Open a default SimCity 4 Region
3. Once loaded go to File and then Create Region
4. Name your Region to what you like
5. Locate the SC4M file (lakes.SC4M)
6. Hit Enter and wait for the region to load
7. Modify the map to what you want it to be and then hit Save

You will need to place the Tropical Climate Mod Folder in your plugins folder for SimCity 4
and NOT in the documents plugin folder or it won't work.
/Program Files (x86)/Electronic Arts/simcity4/plugins
Note : The Electronic Arts folder maybe called Maxis but this is the version I have
You will need the Tropical Climate Mod Folder to render grass when you start a new city. If you
don't then it will be bare scrubland.
