About This File
A DLL plugin for SimCity 4 that
- enables submenu functionality: This DLL is a dependency for other submenu-compatible plugins.
- adds more than 50 standard submenus such as Plazas, Green Spaces, Sports and many more.
- fixes the game's menu rendering issues caused by duplicate or missing menu icons.
- (Exemplar Patching functionality has been removed in version 2.0.0 of the Submenus DLL. This is now implemented in the Resource Loading Hooks DLL, so Exemplar Patching doesn't depend on the Submenus DLL anymore. Make sure to upgrade to version 2.0.1 or later of the Resource Loading Hooks DLL.)
System requirements
- SimCity 4, version 1.1.641 (the digital release) (more info)
- Windows 7+ or Linux
Dependencies
- Resource Loading Hooks DLL version 2.0.1 (or later) by Null 45
Installation
- Copy the DLLs into the top-level directory of either Plugins folder (place it directly in <Documents>\SimCity 4\Plugins or <SC4 install folder>\Plugins, not in a subfolder).
- Copy the file submenu-essentials.dat and optionally the individual submenu files anywhere into your Plugins folder. You may skip installing an optional submenu if it contains neither Flora nor any sub-submenus. In that case, the buildings of that submenu will appear in the default top-level menu instead.
Alternatively, the mod can be installed with Sc4pac: memo:submenus-dll
Credits
- Submenu icons created by @Panda, with contributions by @Chrisim and @Andreas Roth
- Exemplar Patching implemented in collaboration with @Null 45
Further information
- The DLL dynamically creates new submenus by checking for some new exemplar properties, for example in the building exemplars of ploppable lots. This allows anyone to create additional submenus for their lot sets. The modding details are described in the Readme file.
