A few questions about Cities XL 2011

Hi. I have a few questions about Cities XL 2011.

First of all, how do I move a city from Cities XL 2009 to Cities XL 2011 if I did not do so while installing the game?

Second of all, where do saved cities go? What folder? Would it be possible to download a city someone else made and use it in my game? How would I do that?

Thirdly is about mods/cheats. Is there a way to unlock all buildings? I dont just mean expert mode or cheat -> unlock buildings, because neither of those unlock special buildings and landmarks. Is there a way to unlock these?

My last comment is more of an idea than a question. I think it would be great if people could make/reskin buildings and put them online available for download. I know this can be done with maps and vehicles, but could new buildings be added online aswell?

Thank you very much.

    1) It is in a stickied topic.

    2) I do not remember, look around.

    3) Buildings have been reskinned and some of these have been uploaded.


    Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

    Words to live by:
    "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11

    "Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
    "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3

    Sorry, I really do not remember the detail because I personally have not actually done any of these. It is theoretically possible to download a city from PO, Solo Mode (2009) or CXL 2011 and use it in CXL 2011 but you would have to make sure that the city does not have any custom content incompatible with CXL 2011 and you must make sure that you have any mods it has that are compatible. The file size exceeds that which is allowed on SimTropolis but you might be able to get it from MegaUpload or email. I never made any cities worthy of being shared as files but if you want some of my specilist cities (which pale in comparison to some PO ones that I saw), I can email it to you. Send me a PM with any email you have access to or request my email in a PM. I use Google, Yahoo, and MSN/Hotmail/Live. I will go search for how to transfer cities and edit this post to give you a link. I have been here since 2005 so I know how to find things (as long as they are still here, I have had trouble with finding OLD things on the STEx) eventually.

    EDIT: Sorry, I cannot find it with any search engines for this site but if you are good at programming, this might be the answer for transfering cities. http://tutorial.downloadatoz.com/how-to-manually-import-cities-from-cities-xl-2009-to-cities-xl-2011.html It seems reasonable but I do not fully trust that site.

    I guess I will test it now even though I should not be playing until I finish my trigonometry homework. If you know about tan(u+v), you might be able to speed up my WebAssign homework.

    ETA: I believe that cities are stored in the executable. I searched around for over an hour and could not find my save file I named orrozco, which was of the city I named Playa Zocorro.

    I could not find any files they mentioned. I believe that site is garbage.

    ETA: Just PM GlobexCo, he can help you far better than I could ever hope to. I just wanted first dibs at answering.
