About This File
Please take 5 minute read before downloading Akar, thank you.
Akar is a mod that changes the UI (User interface) by adding new menu's as well as sub-menus. It provides a user friendly as well as keep everything organized, eliminate the cluttered and unorganized items. Current version works only in Offline mode. Akar is all around mod that holds every mods ever created to be implemented into the game. At this early stage, you may find mods conflicting between old and the new, we are working on that part for modders have to update their files. It is actually nothing to be concerned of but we are working on that said subject.
Not Compatible with :
• BoC
• UDoN-Addon
• Bridge and Tunnel mod
Please Read "ReadMe" file in Akar and Avalon for LowRes and HighRes users.
How to install?
1. Download all Rar files.
2. Right click the rar file > Extract
3. Please read "ReadMe" file before installing Akar or Avalon
4. Copy and paste the package file into your SimCityData folder.
Currently, Akar has 7 new menus and 60 new Sub-menus including 2 Optional Sub-menus. This addition will allow modders to add their mods in its respective directory without flooding a singular menu, as for users are now pleased with the organized items rather than scouring through massive singular menu.
Custom Content menu is available along Akar base file, It is empty till modders adds new content in it.
Extended boundaries (Orion) is one part of a combination of mods that enhance the experience outside the 2k limits.
Orion, regional roads, regional UdoNs and RCIHC Plop All (Residential Commercial Industrial Hotel and Custom Building Plop) are designed to extend the city experience by working together as a collective set of enhancements.
RCIHC Plop All (Residential Commercial Industrial Hotel and Custom Building Plop) can work independently by allowing zone enhancement and even zone locking on its own but its ultimate purpose and enhancements was the combined use with the other mods to create an expand experience outside 2k limits.
With all the mods for Orion installed such as Avalon, regional roads, regional UDoN etc, users may find their menu cluttered or lags. This is where Akar was born to create, to subcategories each mods that flooded the original menu. Akar is a child from Orion and Avalon itself.
Here, we will list every mod that may be favorable for Orions:
- Package include 2 files, You need to paste both files in your SimCityData folder.

I would like to thank everyone who is involved in this project, the patients and the motivations. All the hard work we've done to make this game more fun and diverse. Oppie, Xoxide, ProcsKalone, Nick, CapTon, Danny, Skye Storme. many more. I couldn't done it without them, even the smallest mod is a tool to learn. This mod has been such a learning curve, even for myself, I didn't expect the attention it gets from users all around the world. My thanks to all of the users because of you, I work day and night to deliver Akar at its full potential. Akar is not something new, it just never implemented into the game the way it should, perhaps overlooked by many. Once again, thank you.
