Real Upgradeable City Halls  1.1.0

About This File

This mod may not be compatible with the "All 3 CityHalls Modd Reward fix". This plugin is intended to supersede that file's behavior.

This is a DLL for SimCity 4 that makes the City Hall reward upgradeable. Instead of implementing the three City Hall stages as separate reward lots, this mod implements Maxis' originally intended behavior of actually replacing the City Hall lot as new stages are unlocked. It also prompts the user with advisor messages asking if they want to upgrade the reward, just like the airport upgrade behavior.

This mod is part of my effort to deconstruct the internal game interfaces. The development thread can be found at this link. Source code is over here.

Behavior
The user is prompted monthly to upgrade to stage 2 when the city's population reaches 45,000, and to upgrade to stage 3 at 95,000. The mod also adds a cheat code, "UpgradeCityHall," that forces the upgrade prompt to appear regardless of population.

Installation
Unzip to your plugins folder.

  • On Windows and Mac versions other than the App Store, this is in Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins.
  • On the Mac App Store version, this is in ~/Library/Containers/com.aspyr.simcity4.appstore/Data/Documents/SimCity 4/Plugins.

Create these directories if they do not exist yet.

Mac users
You must install SC4MacInjector before using this mod or else nothing will happen.

Compatibility
Tested and working on 1.1.641.0 (Steam/GOG/Origin) on Windows and the Steam version of SC4 for Mac. Also works in combination with SC4Fix and the Extra Cheats DLL. Untested but should work with any version of SimCity 4 Deluxe or SimCity 4 w/ Rush Hour.

This an amazing mod, making use of inactive files just sitting on our hard drive. And puts them to use makes this a must have mod, 100%. It was nice to see it work the first time. Thank you, A++

Just be sure to read the readme file if you don't want surprises.
