About This File

This is a lakes and rivers map that was quite literally a labor of love. It took me 4 SC4M files to get

this map because SC4 Terraformer kept crashing on me. It is based off my Mississippi Region Map

 

http://community.sim...ppi-region-map/

 

I hope you enjoy this and if you have any ideas for me to improve on my map making please leave

me a comment and I'll see what I can do. I do want to point out that the region map may not look

the same when you load this map because of an extra terrain mod that is PURELY optional and

not necessary in any sense for this map. It is the Meadowshire Terrain Mod and will give you pretty

flowers and a higher level of detail for the terrain.

It requires Registration and Login to download and is only listed for the serious player who wants

more detail like me for their game.

 

Difficulty : Intermediate

 

This map has an intermediate rating due to the rivers, lakes and ponds and is geared more

towards players who want to use bridge and boat mods

 

I also want to give a shout out to

for telling me about the Region View Mod to give you

a preview of the map fully rendered in SC4.

 

The readme is listed below and is included with the download.

 

 

 

This map is 16x16 large city tiles.

 

Installing the map :

 

1. Open SC4 Terraformer

 

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 and rivers.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

 

8. Open SimCity 4 and load your region. The Map should look the way you saved it.

 

 

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.

LAST NOTE : This is for the Rush Hour version or Deluxe Edition of SimCity 4. Not sure if it

will work for the standalone version.

Either delete this Readme or put it where you can find it but do not put it in the regions folder

 

 

FAQ : Having a hard time with the SC4M file ? Here is a tutorial page that should answer most of

your questions and will provide threads for topics not listed.

Please do not re-share this map without this readme and give me proper credit. Thank you
