Where to find some of the best SimCity 4 content

I have added Capital SimCity to my list.

 

For the others, can you provide a link to some of their best content that's easy to browse? Thanks!

-Some of SimPeg's content is on the STEX as well. Reduces redundancy.

Well, SimCity Kurier is pretty straight forward..  Categories on the left side - Search function, new items, top 15, etc. is on top

       - add a translated version if you feel like https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=no&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fkurier.simcityplaza.de%2Ffiles.php%3Fcat%3D2&edit-text=&act=url

I'm just looking for actual links. I can't find the 'top 15' on that site, for example. Easy navigation is key.

 

I have also added this to my list: https://sites.google.com/site/sc4modds/

Let's consolidate and make one single, huge list of useful links. The Treaty of Porto Alegre. (Porto Alegre is my hometown, in Brazil!)

I was going to upload an Wordpad document but this forums lack a coat of arms or something like!

EDIT: No coat of arms? Okay, I did even then made the doc: https://mega.co.nz/#!sJ5lUZ6S!meLxY8YSGj8IEwYGs8vWDA8_4AZBvG8_xOtVNSCH4Wo

One man's mod is another's unwanted overhead.  It is hard to make a list of mods simply because the game is not homogenous, but open to almost any kind of play.

Pegasus' site doesn't seem to be working.  I've only just tried it after months of not playing, so it could be a temporary thing (I hope).  But I thought I'd check with you lot and see if you know anything about it?  Did he stop hosting the PLEX?  

[_Michael 2,681]

It's working for me.

[A Nonny Moose 8,263]

The link I gave opens the site at the moment.  Sometimes they are down for maintenance or backups.

How can you folks forget one of the best BATs ' site?.....

its working ok, but there is an issue with the home page (last time it happened SimPeg hadn't paid its hosting bill, and Hostgator blocked the home page) not sure if its the same problem this time or another reason, but the only way I can access the site is by using a link to a an existing post otherwise it times out or you get a host error message.

[pieuponieu 70]

catty-cb, thanks for that tip! I have some bookmarked resources from the site, and I get right in.  The issues seem to be with:

 

http://www.simpeg.com/forum/index.php

http://www.simpeg.com

[catty-cb 4,413]

Glad you got in, I went back and checked my paypal receipts as I donated money last time they needed to pay their hosting bills and according to the receipt that was in Dec 2014, so that shouldn't be the cause of the problem this time.

SC4 Awesome Essential Mods and Plugins
 
This site lists a bunch of common mods and plugins for SC4. It is linked from the SC4 reddit page and is the first thing that shows up when you search "sc4 mods" on Google, but I thought I'd mention it here since it was where I started out on my search for mods for this game. It's a few years old, but it certainly was a great starting point and thru the links on the left, I was directed to this site, and the rest is history.

As good an approach as any.  But make sure your virus scanner is on.  Most sites are not as particular as the ones we recommend, and even those are not 100% malware proof.

Thanks for the heads up, couple of sites I hadn't known about on here.

yep. I notice another absent interesting website : SimCity Poslka  http://www.simcitypolska.pl/index.php?PHPSESSID=540f6035869a5444ffeba3628e436979;wwwRedirect;action=downloads

Ther are some excellent Old World bats there, among other tings (industrials !) ; the downloading is pretty straightforward.

[catty-cb 4,413]

While its not as relevant these days, some of the older plugins have the official MAXIS plugins as dependencies.

Has anyone made stuff from Cities of Tomorrow for SC4? Such as ...

- Megatowers

-  Ground Scrubbers

- Garbage Atomizers

- Omega Corp

Also what about stuff from Anno 2070 such as ...

- River Sewage Treatment Plant

- Ozone Maker

- Bioplymer Factory

- Aquafarm

- Deacidification Station

- Sponge Farm

If so please plese me know where I can find them. Or any other buildings from those series.

 

[A Nonny Moose 8,263]

Not in so many words, but you will find equivalents of many on the STEX.

Why would you want an Ozone Maker?  That stuff is poison.  Has the same effect has Hydrogen Cyanide.

Cities of Tomorrow is the expansion pack for SimCity (2013). Rush Hour is the expansion for SimCity 4.

Link here, I'll also add it to my first post.

A very good choice to add it hal,great idea!

[Srawldaddy74 17]

Need to find dependencies for oil tanks and pipelines.  I think it was PEG CDK or maybe they were part of the oil jetty pack.

This is the wrong place to post such a request.  It should be made in:

As part of our ongoing reorganization, this topic has been unpinned. You can still post in it and the master list is the Index of Useful SC4 Resources - Look Here First thread.
