1. Create a new folder in your My Documents\Sim City 4\Regions and name it after the region you wish to download and install; e.g. \Seattle.

2. Download the associated .jpeg file by clicking the icon provided. Save this in the new folder.

3. If there is a .bmp configuration file for your new region, download and save it to your new folder and rename it config.bmp.

4. Start Sim City 4.

5. On the Region Screen, click the Open Region icon. Select your new region folder. The screen will change to a large flat area - this is normal.

6. Hold Shift+Alt+Ctrl+R and navigate to the jpeg file you just saved. Select this and hit okay

7. Sim City 4 now converts this .jpeg file to a new region; it takes approximately 5 to 15 minutes depending on the size of the region and the speed of your computer.

8. You're done! Don't forget to add trees and wildlife to suit your preferences.

this will all become MUCH easier once the SC4 TerraFormer is officially released. it can create a region if there's a config bitmap, and it can import JPGs to create the terrain. what's great about this program is that it offers REGIONAL terraforming, not the cheap per-city terraforming in SC4. SC4 Terraformer also creates cities if you need them, and IMO, it's much faster rendering a region than SC4 itself.

link in my siggy.
