Please ensure you read the install instructions at the bottom.

 

So Mod number #2, and i admit this one is a bit crazy. I cant workout how to increase the number of towers, so instead I increased the existing towers stats to roughly triple their size without adding too much burden on the city itself. The towers are capable of being self sufficent, being able to use a mix of all level types to provide all the needs required or packed with residential for massive industry or commercial cities.

I've done a fair bit of testing, and overall the balance seems quite good. I had a 100k population 2 tower city using all levels available and it was self sufficient and making an overall profit. Traffic gets a bit hectic, so space out and provide enough services to the residents.If you have any questions, comments or requests for packs to be modified and uploaded separately, feel free to ask.

 

Update to 2.0

 

Major update to the mod. Completley repackaged into packs so you can pick and choose the ones you want to use.

New packs and features added, every single level has been modified to be more powerful. I've been testing mainly using 2-3 towers using all available levels and had quite manageable populations in very small areas, allowing more construction of non-residential stuff. The thought of 8 full megatowers with packed low weath residents is why i call this mod insane. used in moderation, it is also lots of fun.

Installation Instructions :

 

  1. IMPORTANT! if you are using the original mod i released, you need to delete the 2 brenflakes_insane_megatower_mod files! If you leave them in, they will probably do weird things.
  2. All Files are in the zip, and the file names start with Insane_megatower_mod. The pack name is at the end of the file, Simply drop the packs you want into your SimCityData folder.
  3. You may need to Copy SimCityDLCEP1-Scripts_287520926.package from SimCityUserData/EcoGame to the SimCityData folder. Results have been a bit mixed. if you get stuck, have a look in the comments or ask a question.
  4. Launch Game.

Enjoy!
