Hey Aarmin and welcome to Simtropolis!!! The main thing that differs from your game and most of ours is custom content. Custom content can be found on the stex (st-exchange) and you can choose from thousands of buildings and modds. Here are some downloads i recommend: - NAM - bassically adds tons of new transportation options and improves the transportation network. A must have for sim city 4!!! - Water Mod - Enhances the look of your oceans, lakes, rivers etc. . There are tons so pick the one that you like the most!!! - Land Mod - Same as water mod but for land (obviously). I linked you the columbus terrain mod, which is the most widely used terrain mod, but there are a few others out there. These are just a very very very few amount of amazing custom content to be found on this site... I reccomend exploring the stex and downloading anything you would like to see in your game. Oh and one last thing Here is a link to an aritcle that guides you through downlading from the stex... Hope this helps and please ask if you have any other questions!!! -Hawkeye
