The text portion of this file was restored from the March 2026 database backup. However, the file which was under the Download button is not available. This is because it was uploaded after June 2024 (the date of our most recent full STEX files backup).

Also for this same reason, any images stored on ST for this file are missing.

About This File

Antarctica is huge. The heightmapper software I use crashed when I tried to load more than this. A lot of it is unremarkable with the exception of this slice of land. I thought this would be a bad idea about 10 minutes into this but it turned out alright. The terrain mod by @Teirusu over here:

really sells it. If you choose to use this terrain mod with this map. You don't need the files "snow_capped_lower.dat or snow_capped_terrain.dat". Just put them aside or delete them. It's another terrain mod altogether and would conflict with the - "arctic_snowcapped_textures.dat and Arctic_terrain.dat" files for the map to look like the pictures. If all files went into your plugins folder, nothing would happen. This is a large map. It can't easily be measured but there are roughly 34 playable large city tiles.

The install, other than getting the terrain mod, is easy. Just unzip to: C:\USER\Documents\SimCity 4\Regions and load the game. Please enjoy and watch out for The Thing!

(EDIT) I found another mod which may prove as good or better (I haven't tested) is @Kavaeric's mod here:

So give it a try!

I'm not sure we have many (if any) maps of this oft-overlooked continent in-game but it is certainly a welcome addition to the SC4 globe.  No doubt the future/potential settlement of this frozen landscape has been the subject of many a what-if scenario and now we get the chance to plan our own Antarctic settlement ideas.  Well done!
