Can any building for SimCity 4 be put into SimCity 2013?

Or is there a way to convert the file format into a file format that could work for SC2013?

SC4 buildings are pre-rendered 2D textures applied to models, whereas SC2013 uses actual 3D models, there is absolutely no way to convert one to the other. The only way to make stuff made for SC4 work in 2013, would require access to the original 3D Modelling files, so you could export them as 3D objects. Even then, you'll likely run into problems because SC4 models can be supremely detailed or just lazily modelled, because we don't have to worry about things like Poly counts destroying performance.

Head over to my Lot and Mod Shack to keep abreast of my latest developments.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

New to the NAM? Check out my tutorials on YouTube. Latest upload: How to: RHW - MHO Roundabout Interchanges. (Nov 25).

p.s. - I'm MGB over on SC4D and a member of the NAM team.
