About This File
Are you fed up with the boring blue grid?
This package contains a selection of solid colours to replace the game’s default region view background. There are 10 variations to choose from, all compatible in both Software and Hardware rendering.
In addition, I’ve created matching city backgrounds. These complement the region backgrounds, and replace the 5 PNG files in the game’s “Program Files” plugins folder. Download the zip file named 2-city_backgrounds.zip if you wish to use these, and follow the below instructions.
Region Backgrounds (1-region_backgrounds.zip):
Select ONE of the following files and copy / move to your "Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins" folder:
region_bg_1-black.dat
region_bg_2-grey.dat
region_bg_3-blue.dat
region_bg_4-aqua.dat
region_bg_5-green.dat
region_bg_6-lime.dat
region_bg_7-brown.dat
region_bg_8-purple.dat
region_bg_9-red.dat
region_bg_10-white.dat
City Backgrounds (2-city_backgrounds.zip):
For these, installation is different.
The package contains 10 folders corresponding to each colour.
Each subfolder contains 5 PNG files:
Background3D0.png
Background3D1.png
Background3D2.png
Background3D3.png
Background3D4.png
1. Go to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Plugins” and move the 5 default PNG files to a backup location.
2. Open a colour variation folder and copy the 5 custom PNG files to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Plugins”
Note: Adding them to the usual "Documents" plugins will not work!
