Hey all,

Just checking out the club features. Thought we could announce new uploads of found content here...

I know it's not first, but I've uploaded a file that I had from an older Japanese site, Vagrant Store, that linked to content items on OneDrive that are no longer available. @SC4 gamer asked about in the Can't Find It topic. I do have another half-dozen or so items from the same site that I'll probably get ready to upload as well.

And I think the Vagrant Quantum Lab I have is a newer version. (according to readme, the version is 1.01) The Date Modified of some files is 2010-11-17.

    Do you also have Volkshalle(replica) and  霧機関発電所?

    Yes, I have both plus a few others. I'm working on checking them out and will upload.

    I'll check it out. I notice that it is a .z01 type file. I've usually converted them to a .zip when I find them. I don't remember if I did that with mine or not.

    .zip and .z01 are just split compression beacause of the Max size per file on the simtropolis post. Original file was one zip file.

    Ah, got it. That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

    Not sure. The Lot files that I have were dated a couple days earlier, but all others were the same. I didn't notice any difference in the game.

    By checking them with reader, there was very niche difference.

    Both monthly costs are reduced, the capacity satisfied value of the mainlab is changed, and the landmark effect value/the park effect value of the railgun are bigger.

    I saw them listed (that's probably how I found them the first time), but except for the updated Volkshalle public hall, they were only available through the 'Home' button. But the the 'Home' is the Vagrant Store which isn't functional. Maybe I'm just not seeing them...?

    In the meantime, I uploaded Vagrant's two power plants.

    Some BATs are on the another website: https://vagrant.aikotoba.jp/index.files/Page378.htm

    But the Vagrant Fog Engine Power Plant is not there. Maybe my memory is confused.

    edit: 霧機関発電所 is the Fog Engine Power Plant. My brain was messed.

    Ah, I did see that one. There was a link on the other (newer) site, but I didn't bother doing much checking because it said it was an older site. The newer Power Plant probably came later and was not put on the older site.

    Uploaded the diagonal version of the Nico Nico statue and the Volkshalle building since they're no longer on the newer site.

    Hi! So...some years ago, I made site copies of many regional sites using Cyotek WebCopy, a utility similar to WinHTTrack. And in cases where Cyotek WebCopy didn't download the .zips, I grabbed whatever I was able to grab! Do you think that anything here would be useful? I could always zip it all up and put it on Google Drive or similar!

    Root:

    Edit: The Japanese sites were found through the old post on the SC4Devotion forums. I made copies of the sites in the original post that were still up. I've excluded my copy of Moonlinght/Moonlight's page, which was made using "save as HTML" Google Chrome extension, but it looks like Moonlinght/Moonlight's content is all taken care of.

    Fun fact: Buffalo sauce contains the entire DNA sequence of buffalo, so you can clone buffalo while eating buffalo wings with buffalo sauce at Buffalo Wild Wings in Buffalo, New York. I've never tried it, though.

    Thank you for archiveing those files! Could you share them?

    Sure thing! I'll edit this message with the Google Drive link to the .zip once the Internet outage in my area is resolved.

    I think I searched for .zips in some of the website copies like SimCity Plaza and copied them to another folder...because there's no way that I individually downloaded everything. The .zip is going to be about 19 gigabytes.

    Edit: In case any images or other resources are needed, my .html copy of Moonlinght's webpage will be included. I just felt uncomfortable including it in the screenshots because I've since moved to a better Chrome extension for saving .html files of webpages. It's called SingleFile. Before using SingleFile, I was using Save Page WE.

    I'm creating a new post for the purpose of creating a notification. 

    I don't have a paid plan for more Google Drive space, and I've been having difficulty paying my monthly Proton Unlimited payment for Proton Drive. Lucky for me, though, Microsoft 365 is free for college students for one year in the United States due to a government grant promoting AI education. Anyway, here's the OneDrive link!

    Passing along an FYI... I've been checking out the files from @ragutaro and noticed a few things, namely the Station Building, BusTeminal, and the Service Area.

    HaS.JPG

     

    The older, original file attachments don't appear to function correctly in the game. The updated, newer files do. Also, the older nonfunctioning files are some of the same ones that already exist on the STEX (as well as some others from Ragutaro).

    @pikachu_SQ, maybe we should remove the attachments that don't appear to work and replace the existing STEX files with those that do? Might save some confusion. Just a thought...

    If they are the same files, then we should update the STEX files.

    I uploaded old files for future-proof of shutdown of SimCity Force.

    If you do, would mind adding the "hide and seek" tag to the STEX listing?

    Okay. I will check everything one more time to be sure and take care of it.

    Sure, that makes total sense. My main concern is about releasing older versions that may not function along side the newer ones that do. I ran across the same issue when I was updating Peg's older material.

    Yes, you are right. I will add a warning message, something like "Do not download it.".

    Automated Notice Message

    All posts after 1 March, 2026 @ 01:37 GMT were lost in the site crash.

    We've added this message thread divider in every topic across all forums for what were then active threads. (We decided active is if the most recent extant post (from the backup) was on or after 1 January, 2026.)

    This divider serves as notice that the conversation was interrupted. Answers and further discussion which used to be here have been lost. Keep this in mind when replying. Our hope is to rebuild what is missing.

    Announcements of found items will commence as soon as the re-uploading of the 'found; content begins. Naturally, it may be some time as efforts are being focused in other areas of the site. Hope to get back at it as soon as possible.
