Now that the App Store version has been out for almost a year, is anyone working on creating workable modding tools (BAT, Reader, Lot Editor) for Mac? The only ones that have been created so far are SC4Mapper, NAM controller, and jdatpacker.

Arr, matey! Welcome to Corneria, where our cops don't mind piracy and the only thing tighter than the fits between the buildings is...well, you know what. Okay, I'll say it: the margins at the pawn shops. Get your mind outta the gutter (The tight fits came through RICO and Move It! mods)

Hachiko, a predominantly Asian village outside one of my cities

Going for the Tropico vibe now... Chinatown gate

The Mediterranean-inspired town of Lucario City. Very satisfying factory complex using vanilla buildings. Residential neighborhoods. This city is loosely based on cities in Chile, Peru, and Bolivia.

Somewhere in northeastern Poland. Brzęczyszczykiewicz square (the one with the lions), with the Catholic church at the upper left.

The new Wingardium Leviosa charter school is now open for enrollments.

I recognize those house assets (they're Dutch), but where'd you get the additions?

Trying for a mix of Macau, Singapore (the multicolored HDB flats), Taipei, Hong Kong, and Manila with a southern French-style neighborhood in the foreground.

I moved everything to my desktop, ran the update on a vanilla SC4, and then reinstalled my plugins. Zero brown boxes yet.

Ln X. Very realistic.

Big question...how do you get that irregularly shaped construction site? Otherwise, whoa!

A little touch of Quebec. Tabarnak! I cannot imagine the lighting bill that my train station is racking up. Please release these maisons, s'il vous plait.

Industrial port town.

My botanical garden (as well as its associated props) has gone missing this past week from all of my cities. In one city where I plopped one, the garden has vanished with only a few parked cars reminding me of its location. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hope you like your crops a bit crispy!

Do you accept a mix of British, Spanish, and Old Havana as European enough?

Northern France, not far from Lille The life of a typical young Frenchwoman is pleasant, not much different than it was before the Green Revolution of the 2030s that saw a reemerging Cuba dominate the green technology sectors, spreading urban agriculture, recycling, interchangeable parts, healthy living, and conservation across the world. In time, Cuba had annexed the Bahamas and much of Florida in exchange for its patented, easily-replicated desalination technology that turned the sea into a limitless source of drinking water and that had made the post-Communist Cuban regime a favorite of the Middle Eastern leaders. None of that really affected our Frenchwoman, who we'll call Annick. She has taken advantage of Cuban-led reinvestment in urban cores that has turned many of la France's great cities into cheap, vibrant, and self-sustaining areas similar to those of Havana, but in many ways that was a European tradition long before the postindustrial globalization of the early 2000s. There are a few visible differences, though. Urban agriculture and forestry, practiced throughout Cuba during the lean years of the 1990s and 2000s, have come to fill every nook and cranny of European cities such as Lille. Even many of the newest skyscrapers bear trees on them, and the integration of vertical and balcony farming has become a global trend. Farm? Greenhouse? Offices? Who knows? Saarland, Germany. The most visibly "Cuban" thing are the cars. Many cars are reminiscent in style of both 1950s US cars and the Cuban "Frankenstein" cars of indeterminate vintage, and for good reason; 90% of new cars are renewably powered and designed to be made of replicable parts, with most made by Cuban auto titans based on what they know best. Varadero and Marianao are the new Renault and Peugeot for Annick and her family. Timeless and classic...wait, what are those white things? A doctors' strike! Some things never change...
