About This File

Have you ever thought about making content for SimCity 4, but didn't know how to get started? The My First Mod tutorial will guide you through the basics of creating Lots for SimCity 4. The tutorial covers how to make both Ploppable and Growable lots for your game. All you need is the Lot Editor and Plugin Manager tools which come on the disk versions, or can be downloaded here.

Included are some useful resources to help get you started creating and some tips and advice to avoid some of the pitfalls.

In addition to the tutorial, I've set up a special support thread here, so if you are having problems following along you can ask for help.

To install, simply extract the .zip file into a folder of your choice. Ensure you do not move the folder "MGB My First Mod_files", it must be in the same location as the .htm file for the images to display correctly.

Enjoy,

MGB.

We can't have enough tutorials, and with the generation change in SC4 modders and lotters, preserving knowledge has become a very important task. Technically, many questions asked these days have been answered years ago, but time, user fluctuation and site makeovers have made many of the answers slip under the radar, so any attempt to consolidate knowledge and present it in an easily accessible way is immensely valuable. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! :thumb:

This is a great idea! While I've always considered myself a decent lotter, I've never known how to make a ploppable. This'll be useful! 5/5

And this is the way I've decided how I'll spend my summer vacations: lotting a lot.
