No longer is this a low poly building with textures with Simcity, now its a whole new level of difficulty to mod. I don't actually have simcity 2013 by the way. Is it worth buying now?

Alright, what about .fbx files?

I know Maya and Photoshop, but I do not have the time. Also, I understand the concepts for modeling, UV'ing, and texturing but the three texture layers are confusing as hell yet sounds interesting at the same time. The article is even worse. My head hurts. Let me ask my professor about this and see what he says and plenty of other people in the Game Design department will know more about this than I do.

Oppie, I would like to congrajulate you on jump-starting the modding for Simcity. Once the tool is more drawn out and understandable, the modding community will probably explode.

From what I understand, no one has added new models into the game, but have changed texture maps?

This might not be a good thing. This easy modification is great but EA and Maxis won't be happy that their system has been 'compromised'. Remember the Battlefield bans for the color mod? It just takes one troll. Best thing to do is be relatively quiet and when Maxis greenlights modding, we already know what we need to do.

Been a long time since I posted here. My college has Maya, UDK, Z-Brush, and Photoshop on all their computers. While I don't know anything about character rigging (yet) or programming, I would like to start making content for the game for the sake of my portfolio, as a hopefull future game designer. Joining a mod team would be great too. I haven't purchased simcity yet, but I may this summer. Would you mind explaining what exactly can be done with the program, other than previewing buildings and textures? Also, will you write a short user guide anytime soon?

Were too late! The game is an epic fail. It is not a simcity game. It was designed by a different company. It would of been a new fresh look for simcity if it was made by the same company! Monte Cristo's Civ City Rome and Simcity Societies are earily the same. It sucks!

This may just make Simcity 4 out of date. I can give a honorable retirement. This looks alot better than societies. I cant believe I bought that game.
