Cori's Water Shoppe  by CorinaMarie@Simtropolis A picture catalogue of every known Water Mod for SimCity 4 Note: I did not create any of these mods. This thread is simply to display each water mod using the same city tile for easy comparison. If you find this useful feel free to use your browser's Save As function and do a Save Complete Web Page. This will give you an offline copy with all the pictures. My content is freely available for use by anyone. You can even make a duplicate thread on any other site if you like. Please, just be sure to give me credit for the original creation. For peeps with 16:9 (or other wide screen) monitors you could open this thread in two separate windows side by side.  This would allow you to have independent scroll bars to compare specific mods. It would also work if you have dual monitors tho there may be some slight color difference between the two.

I've now written a tutorial showing how to fix those. See here:   ---------- Note: If you download a mod and have any difficulty with it and when all else fails, read the ReadMe instructions that comes with it. I do have Ennedi's HD Sandstone1 Brown Rock Mod installed, but otherwise my game is vanilla.   Let's start with the default Maxis blue water:   And here I'm showing the underwater view. I hope I've designed this so all aspects of the water mods will show their various colors based on elevations.   Water Mods by dogfight contains 3 Cold Blue:   Marshy:   Muddy Lake:   Joergs Water Mod 2 contains 10 Black Sea:   Bloody Nile:   Caribbean Dream:   Emerald Isles:   Icy Arctic:   Mediterranean:   Muddy River:   Northern Pacific:   Rivers of Lava:   Yellow Puke:   Mas71 Water MODs (v1.0) contains 5 Waters_100:   Waters_200:   Waters_300:   Waters_400:   Waters_500:   PEG WATER MOD Brigantine:   SHK Brigantine 2.0 contains 8 BluGrn:   ClrBlue:   DkBlue:   Emerald:   LtBlue:   Orig:   Silt:   Teal:   PEG WATER MOD Clipper:   PEG WATER MOD Windjammer:   PEG WATER MOD Hawaiian Holiday:   PEG WATER MOD Crystal Lagoon:   SMP Teal Water Mod:   SMP Paradise Blue Water Mod:   Runamuck's HD Water MOD v1:   ELSHA WATERMOD: ^ This one looks vastly different depending on zoom.   Realistic Water v1 by Joerg and Teirusu:   Drunken Water Mods, The Blues and Greys.

I skipped those in favor of brevity.

Water Mod contained in VIP Terrain Mod by Cédric. (Attached to this post on Devotion.) Note: In addition to the Water Mod there are also Beach, Rock, and Terrain mods. The following pic has all 4 installed: ^ Thanks to @Indiana Joe for mentioning this one.   So, when peeps ask: Which water mod should I get?, show them this thread so they can compare and decide.   P.S. If I've missed any water mods, feel free to post a linky to their download and I'll get them screenshotted and edit them into this post. I plan to make similar threads for Beach, Terrain, and Tree mods. You can already get your rocks off here. (I might take a bit of a break tho. This is a tedious and boring task I've set for myself.) I hope everyone makes good use of my reference threads.   Attached is the medium size city tile I've used for these pics that way you can make your own with the exact same location.
