About This File
North Cascades.
This region is based on DEM data with small alterations forplayability. This is most evident in the courses of the rivers and the
footprint of the lakes, as these areas had to be adjusted in terms of elevation in order to appear as water. The region is focused on the North Cascades of Washington State. The map is bounded on the north by the 49th parallel and the border with British Columbia.
Mount Baker is the large volcano in the NW of the map. Baker lake is the large boomerang shaped lake to the east, which feeds the smaller Lake Shannon below, which ultimately drains into the Skagit River, which runs through the SW corner of the region. The northeast portion of the map contains the smaller Diablo Lake, and larger Ross Lake, which extends north into Canada. Most of this region is wilderness located in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest or North Cascades National Park.
The image has been rendered with CPT's Olympic Terrain Mod. The region itself was terraformed to fit with both the textures of this mod, and the height at which rock/snow begins and I highly recommend it. You can, of course, use any terrain mod you please with this region.
Installing the Region
You need SC4 terraformer in order to install this region.
1. Unzip the file.
2. Create a new region folder in your SimCity 4\Region directory.
3. Replace the config.bmp file with the config.bmp file you downloaded with this region
4. Open the new region in Terraformer
5. Click 'Import Image' in the Global Tools Menu and browse to the unzipped folder and select the map file for this region.
6. When the file loads choose 'File' and click 'Save'. (The region is now saved to SC4).
7. Load your region and play, the cities will take on whatever terrain mod you have (or the default SC4 terrain if you have no mod) as soon as you open them.
