SC4 Launcher

[Vitimus 14]

Hi, I want to share this with you guys. A little tool I made for myself, but I decided that someone could also enjoy this.

 

A SimCity 4 Launcher

 

You can select between 9 backgrounds or let it randomly choose one every time.

How do you configure the Game data field? I installed my game using Origin, so it doesn't use the typical path.

Since I have the traditional structure it is hard to tell you where to look.  If you have any computer ability, look around.  You should be able to find out where Origin, damn their socks, has put things.  FYI, here is where things are in the standard model:

 

"C:/Program Files (x86)/Maxis/SimCity 4 Deluxe/Apps/SimCity 4.exe"
