Evillions

Introduction It's been several years since I last played or did anything SimCity related. I recently started playing SimCity 4 again because my interest in city building games came back. Given that I have a lot of free time for the next month or two, I figured that I should start up another CJ again. Like everyone else who is into mods (and downloading GBs full of mods), I downloaded several mods only to realize that the Mac version is too different than the PC version. The amount of mods that would work for the MAC version is severely limited compared to the PC version. The one mod I have been most interested in was SimMars Beta 3. As a former team-member of SimMars, I wanted to experience the same enthusiasm I had for the mod back when I contributed to it. I realize that SimMars Beta 3 only works for Windows, but I ended up using WineSkin and WineBottler to extract all of the content. As a result, I was able to get SimMars working on the Mac. I understand that the MAC version is not fully patched like the Windows version, so there are more bugs and less capabilities (e.g. no night-lights on custom content). For the sake of playing the game and content, I am happy with what I have. ---------- Teaser

Hey guys, I did a google search on the availability of the lot editor for mac, and I can't seem to find the right answer. Is there some type of Lot Editor for macs? If so, where could I download it? EDIT: I also have Wine, so would using that help at all?

As someone who lived in NYC for a few months, this is a very accurate recreation of NYC. Well done!

I know that I am resurrecting a very old thread, but my interest in SC4 sparked again. I am looking to play SimMars on the Mac. I understand that there's only an .exe file and .exe files can't run on Macs. I'm trying to use WineSkin on it to see if it would work out. Anyone has attempted playing SimMars on the Mac successfully before? If not, what would be the most ideal way of converting the program to run on Macs?

Wow, congratulations for your success!  I can't image the amount of hours spent on creating one map.

Simtown? But in all seriousness, I really hope Maxis doesn't disappoint this time.

It's a good game, but it becomes too boring once you reach a high population. At that point, it becomes too easy to get resources and there is no incentive in expanding.

All of this new content is tempting me to go back to SimCity 4. Keep up the work and might as well!

The more, the merrier! Just ask Andisart though, he's in charge.

I always get excited when those high-wealth skyscrapers pop up in my city (Though you could always use the BAT to replace the smaller building :P)!

May not be the best in photoshopping, but its my best photoshop work in terms of SC4.

As good this is, you really should consider creating your own lots.  The cars and modern props somewhat ruin the 18th century feeling. :/   EDIT:  If you really want to know to lot, I suggest checking out the Omnibus for tutorials.  I believe there are a couple of articles on using the lot editor.

I voted for you to build a dock first, that would be the most viable investment because it can potentially attract commercial ships regionally or even nationally.
