Is there a modd that allows me to choose any tree in God mode that I want?

Like a tree made by Jeronij? 4.gif

Can someone create (or direct me to a mod) a mod that would allow me to isolate the coverage for individual schools, hospitals, and other civic buildings? Educational buildings are especially difficult, because the game will simultaneously show radii for ALL schools, colleges, libraries, museums and such at the same time which can be confusing when some buildings are near to each other. I want to be able to click on a school and see its radius alone.

Hello, I would appreciate if someone could create or show me how to create a mod that would increase the usage of the universities and possibly the colleges in SimCity 4. For instance, one of my cities has only 700 students out of a population of over 95,000 residents. I would like for this figure to be more realistic, as cities with only 15,000 people (the game's main requirement for universities) can have schools with up to 10,000 students at times.

anyone ask for a mod that changes the lot underneath the monorail to a concrete lot? instead of that ugly grass patch. since theyre only used in the city mostly anyways a mod for just the lotting wouldnt hurt anything.

Just curious as I'm going through all the downloads available. There are many different residential towers/styles and commercial towers, hotels etc... but what I noticed is that there is something missing that would make a city look amazing... and that's the hotels in Las Vegas... how come no-one's done any lots of the many different theme and styles of the hotels in Las Vegas? It would be one good reason to run a sim city purely at night time.

hi, this may not be the right place to post this, but here it is. Why does passenger rail traffic carry over to the neighbouring cities while freight train traffic dissapears? Is there a way that a mod can be applied in order to carry freight rail traffic over into the next cities? Thanks

I for one would like a mod that makes all the cars in your city turn into Hover Cars. I build mostly contemporary cities and i think it would be cool to have futuristic stuff in them.

(if there is a mod that currently exists i haven't found it yet)

2. Transport, from industry, goes to an anoter industry or\and goes to the stores. Not just to the end of the map.

3. The industry need an resours, like oil... And u need to make an transport route from the oil to the industry.

4. The population wont grow, whitout food, from farms. So u need to hawe farms, to grow food all the time.

Is it any mood already existed? Hope every one understand me, my English is not that fine 4.gif

Hi people!

I hardly post on this forum, but I'm usually logged checking what's new about modds.

In fact I don't know if it's the right forum to do so, but if my question has an affirmative answer, it'll be a request. 2.gif

I installed NAM on my SimCity Deluxe and was playing with 2 interesting transportation tools: the Underground Rail (common rail under roads) and Metro Elevated Rail over roads. Is that possible to make with the Metro Elevated Rail what was done with common Rail?

You then may ask me "what's the subway for?". The question I'm making is because you can't see and/or control the train after it enters the elevated-subway convertion - it even simply disappears BEFORE entering completely in the tunnel! If it was possible to do with Metro what was possible to do with the Rail, it was solved.

So, if the answer for my question is affirmative, there's my request: build "elevated" rails under roads like the rails.

See ya!

Second try...

Ahoay!

First, I want to say, this Site is awesome, and the Custom Things here are nice. But im looking for a special buldingstylie, the building-type is not important.

Because I dont know the name of this style, I'll post some pics of a neurosciences institute in California.

More pics:

Again: If big or small, if usefull or useless, I take everything.

It will be a help enough, to say how the style gets called, or with which Words i can search.

Welcome to Simtropolis.

However I do think you have the wrong thread. This is the modding request thread. I think you want the BAT Request thread, since you seem to be asking for a new building, rather than requesting a change in the game functionality. Unfortunately I can't move your post for you so if a Modding Forum moderator doesn't move it for you, you will need to repost in the BAT request thread. Sorry about that.

Also its important to realise that your request may not be fulfilled, even if you do post it in the right place. BATters are free to BAT what they wish, but if post your idea in the thread then someone may decide they like the idea and make it for you.

I dont know if this is possible, but a real dream mod would be to have a search function for plops (landmarks, parks, infrastructure...), i dont know how SimCity handles plops, but if anyone has any idea as to how to go about, that would be a truly revolutionary mod. Maybe it could be fixed to work with the Ctrl+X commandline, i know that someone used it to create some cheats. Maybe its possible to add a command a la "Search_"Seachstring"" that would search all the plops by name, or maybe even description, and output the result in a list so you can access them without having to scroll through menus.

I hope this thread is still visited for modd request submissions. =)

Maybe I am just being lazy, or just dread all of the re-work, but is it possible for someone to create a modd to keep trees from growing through and over freeways?

Sorry if I may be putting this in the wrong place but here goes .....

Since there is a tremendous wealth of information on this site, is it possible to have one main category listed just for Tutorials & Troubleshooters with sub-categories listing the different tools?  Then we don't have to search through all the foum stuff to find the one we need.  It would not need any "reply areas" just tutorials from the basic information to run the game to the ultimate tweaks and an orderly design of information or a flow chart of what to look for if something goes haywire. 

It would also help if there was a tutorial showing where the files and programs need to be located in relation to our computer's directories - i.e. Gmax, BAT, LE, Modds, etc.

For example:
The Gmax link at Maxis is all wrong, I finally found it here (thank you).  I have learned that Gmax insists on being located on my "C:/" directory (hard drive) as a "stand alone program", not in my normal "C:/ProgramFiles" folder.  Which caused a mess when I loaded it in the wrong place and it scattered files throughout my directory.  

This type of program behavior can cause many peeps to have game issues.  If you could simply add basic instruction of the directives where we are supposed to load the "Programs, Modds, etc" it would be very helpful.  

Remember, a lot of us are newbies to this stuff and we tend to wander our way through this stuff ... I catch myself going way over someone's head when explaining engine problems that are basic to me but mumbo jumbo to them!  They just want to put the key in it and drive just like some of us want to load the good SC stuff and play.

Right now I am in a state of mass confusion over what to load?  
I know some of the tutorials list the "links" but that still doesn't explain exactly where it goes in my program file directory and in what order am I supposed to load these items?  

Maxis crapsite is not exactly the most explanatory place to visit, it certainly has some issues.  And you can forget about getting a reply if you have techy issues.  Been there, done that, got a t-shirt that reads "ignored" -  LOL!

What basic stuff do I need to make the Gmax work correctly? 
Do I need the Data Gen or the Reader stuff?   
Do I need both?  
NAM what?  
Update and plug into what?  
When? 
Where do they go?  
I apparently put them in the wrong directory and it was a small disaster.   Even put some of the zip files in a sub file of My Documents and it still unzipped and loaded some stuff in them, not in the Files where it should have - some of these tweaks don't give any options, they just unzip and "viola!" show up in the strangest of places .... like the "exe" of the NAM stayed in My Documents sub file and the rest went to the secondary Sims City 4 file that was automatically put in My Documents Folder when I loaded the game.  Why?

Now do you understand the newbie confusion over downloading all this neat stuff?  If we can check to make sure items loaded where they were supposed to go and all the correct items are in the correct places, we might be able to play without so many crashes or lost information.  

Thanks!

Has anyone ever created a Round house and turn table for trains?? That would be a key part of modeling an accurate railroad in any city.
