About This File
The Maxis Berlin region rendered in ready-to-use form in a Large tile configuration.
Originally Maxis made the regions to have few (or no) Large sized tiles due to performance considerations. By popular demand and from what @ASV7900 specifically requested, here is the Berlin region in an expanded tile layout. This allows more freedom to build on the terrain over a larger area at once.
Each tile has been saved with vanilla Plugins to update the tile appearance in the region view to be consistent with how Maxis created them originally. All cities have also been paused for convenience.
Two Versions
Option A - Berlin (All Large)
4 x 4 region formed of 16 Large tiles in total.
The terrain is unmodified from the original map with no development.

Option B - Berlin (Developed + Large)
For this I've created a hybrid layout which incorporates the 3 Maxis tiles:
- Konradshohe
- Spandau
- Tegel
These are Medium sized, and given their offset location it means there needs to be 3 other Medium tiles, along with 8 Small tiles which I placed on the top and bottom to allow the existing cities to fit. The remaining tiles are all Large.

(The 3 highlighted green tiles are the developed Maxis medium sized cities, to show where they're located.)
Installation
Copy either folder into your Regions folder:
Documents\SimCity 4\Regions
Both regions can be installed without conflict, and even in addition to the Maxis original.
Renaming (Optional)
It isn't necessary, but you may wish to rename either region. This can be worth doing if wanting the name to simply be Berlin instead of with the descriptive parts in both names.
To do this:
- With the game closed, open the region.ini file with Notepad (or any text editor).
- Change the name to whatever you'd like it to be instead. For example: Name = Berlin
-
Save the file and then the name will be updated when reloading the game

Here are the other 4 Maxis regions I've uploaded along the same theme:
Special Thanks
As ever, I dearly appreciate @CorinaMarie helping me with a few ideas for these region releases, inspired by her Maxis New York 4x4 upload. Cori also kindly helped share the workload with me for saving each tile with a vanilla Plugins folder to update the terrain from the Mapper color scheme, and to pause each city tile.
And of course, to Maxis for creating these regions for us mayors to enjoy, even all these years later.
