Edit: Sorry if this is in the wrong section btw.

It'd be wonderful if I could make the aesthetic centerpiece of my planned commercial district the commercial centerpiece as well, as I'd rather not plop down 16 large plazas or 4 PanPacific towers. I already got the mod for landmark jobs, but I don't think ~200 jobs in the Amalienborg will cut it considering the enormous amount of space it takes up. I already tried SCEdit, but it's in beta and apparently the ability to edit landmarks is "coming soon." How the heck did that guy edit the Amalienborg to give it jobs then? Actually, even better than giving it jobs would be to be able to edit the landmark effect and radius.

Is there an editor that will allow me to edit Amalienborg.dat included in the landmark jobs modification? I already opened it in notepad and got garbage. At the very least I want to give it ~4000 jobs if I can't edit the landmark radius.

Alternatively, I could just do something like this:

...which would be overkill, no?

Before I even answer you: Did you read the rules before posting?!. NO IMAGES ABOVE 800x600 PIXELS! Seriously, it is not that hard to resize them, just edit your post (or they will be deleted if you don't!).

    That rule isn't listed in the sticky in this forum, but okay.

    Now will you answer me? :M

    Nevermind, looked in the modding section of the forum and found out that I have to use a program called ilive reader.

    Now I'm just gonna make the Amalienborg have the same costs and effects as CN Tower, heh.

    You can edit the Maxis stuff using the reader.

    Open this program and select the ‘building tweaker’ option from the top panel. It'll prompt you to fill in some stuff.

    Once you've done that, you can open any Maxis made content and edit its properties.

    Select 'Landmarks' from the drop-down menu in the top left hand corner and then select Amalienborg from the list.

    Edit the properties you want and then save it into your plugins folder. You'll get a new .dat file (probably very small) this'll override the original Maxis settings.

    I already figured out how to edit and patch the Amalienborg using the exemplar analyzer and editing the hex values, but thanks for the tip on the building tweaker; that'll save me from converting to and from hex.
