SimCountry Project

[nihonkaranws 88]

This modd is undergoing development. Once finished, I will alert you guys, then proceed to http://www.simcountrymodd.com/. Website does not currently exist.

Hello all!!!

First of all, I wish to say something before giving you the details of this project. As you may have noticed (but probably not) I have never uploaded any BATs or Mods to the STEX. The reason for this is not because I don't know how to create these. No. The reason is, that I've spent the last 4 months working on a project that will revolutionize the way that you play SC4.

Let me start off by giving a brief description of this project. One night, after playing SC4, I had an amazing dream. I dreamed that there was a game called SimCountry. In this game, you could basically create your own country, manage the political stuff, manage the cities (as in SimCity 4), and even choose which cities are the capitols of the country and territories/states/provinces.

Later that week, I decided to try to make something like this. I am currently on the final part of the beta project. Here, I'll give a detailed overview of what this will do.

The Description

Here is the idea: This mod basically gives you the option to open up a new window within SC4, by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Q. After pressing, this will open up a window. You can choose some options. If you choose "Create New Country", this will open up a new window, allowing you to name your country, name how you will divide your country (by state, province, territory, etc.), name the president/prime minister, and even choose what type of country it is (dictatorship, republic, constitutional monarchy, etc.). You then have the option to name all of the territories.

Next time you click SC4's default "Create New Region" button, you can choose which country and territory it belongs to. And the next time you create a city in that region, you can make it the capitol of your territory or of your country. Pretty neat, eh?

Some of the extra stuff is that you can have federal, territorial, and municipal elections for the leaders. You can also choose where in the world your country would be, replace a real-world country with yours, or even have your country on another planet. The last neat thing is that you can choose your national language(s), or even make up one yourself (this will not effect the Sim language that you hear, though).

The Help Needed

Basically, I'm releasing this preview not only to amaze you, but to ask for some help and feedback. First of all, I'd like to know whether or not this would be a hit. Would you guys be interested in using this mod? And if so, I will be needing some help from other people, in order to make it user friendly.

So, please give me some feedback.

Hope this works,

Edit: Ctrl + Alt + Q only works by pressing Ctrl + X to open up the cheatbox.

It would be a hit for me if it can work on macs.

[nihonkaranws 88]

Yep! I have programmed it to work on both Macs and PCs.

So, does it incorporate something that was "hiding" in the game? or is it completely new?

[nihonkaranws 88]

Completely new.

I would be really interested in trying something like this. I think it is genius!

[mrbombit 1]

Wow! This sounds great! I already do this(make countries and governments), But I just keep a running file of all the info. Your idea sounds like a great way to merge this into the game. I would def. use this! Please do it.

This certainly has some interesting features.  May I suggest you take it over to the Modding Open Discussion Forum

Perhaps you could put a link there to this thread, and add to your post there as to what kind of assistance you need.
