About This File

The free camera mod for SimCity 4 is here!

 

Some old lurkers may know that in a press conference some ten years ago or so, a few of Maxis' top devs stated that a free camrea was planned for SC4 originally. However, not that far into the project, the idea was dropped, due to it making the game too CPU heavy. After months of digging around in the deepest and darkest cavities of the game, I am now ready to release it on Simtropolis! All in a simple .dat format, ready to be dropped in your plugins folder. 

 

Beware that this mod is quite CPU heavy, even with today's pc standards. Not a problem for powerful rigs, but medium pc's may experience a slight fps drop. This should be possible to fix by disabling shadows, though. If you have a low-end pc, I guess you'll just have to get used to the game lagging. 

 

Have a good time, and if you encounter troubles, remember to have a look at the upload date. :)

 

Edit: I'd like to thank Samerton for this wonderful image. I was going to get one of myself, but my game kept ctd'ing (for other reasons), and after a while I just gave up. Please note that Samerton uses some color correction mods, and the game will look slightly different than in the picture. :)

This seems, a bit fishy... I'd say hold off the download unless some proper screenshots are uploaded.

This is SimCity 4, not CitiesXL. I just noticed the category.

No, actually, that image is from Cities: Skylines.

You did that for nothing

You can't say he did it for nothing. There is a reason. It's told in the description. It's an educational download about always rtfm.
