Expansion Pack

Anyone know how EA/Maxis implements their expandability. Like the Amusement Park Set, and the French City Set. Is there a way to make your own?

Additions to the game are implemented both client- and server side. Most resources for additional content are added into the SimCity_DLC0.package file, while some others are distributed among the other packages. Secondly, each DLC gets its own EcoGame scripts package, which contains most of the gameplay affecting stuff - the scripts also exists on the Maxis servers and are used to check against cheating and will trigger rollbacks if it detects differences between the client and server versions.

Long story short - we can't use the method Maxis uses to add new content since additional objects also need to exist server-side.
