How long until we can get some custom stuff for the game?  The wait is killing me.

It could be some weeks or months, though we could always rely on free-lance modders.

a very long time

I think most mods will alter game play long before mods involving content will come along... we need to mod the game to make a working simulated city first. Eye candy should be second. Priorities....

 

I think the first eye candy mods will come in the form of changed textures.

Like sorting out those road textures; they turn to a brown polygon smudge when on uneven terrain when in a far out zoom!

I think thats LOD graphical setting, aka the further out you zoom the lower the graphic quality to be able to render the more objects you see without increase in lag, might be possible to mod that but ideally Maxis should just allow us to set draw distance based on our hardware specs. It does look silly when you want to take screenshots i agree.

Mind you that custom content can take weeks, months and in some cases even years (NAM 30 to 31 took 18 months!) to complete. Expecting mods right now while we are still figuring out how exactly to mod this game is unrealistic...

So does no one have even the slightest clue when we might be getting custom content for this game?  How long after SC4's release was custom content available?

It was a few months after release that the lot editor was put out, and not until about a year after release for the BAT.

already demanding mods. i dont like that. hence i somewhat understand the impulse or high expectations. but really, at least download SC Pak and open one package file and see yourself. first the code has to get readable, changeable, potentally correctly hashed, then tools evolve, then other people pick up the tools and start figuring them out and then mods will come.

 

guess the modders wont get away with less pressure and lower expectations than the devs. but its a honor too i guess.
