Readme included in download:   ---------------------- Gambling Ordinance Mod ---------------------- Story: A new developer is in town and they feel the current Gambling structure your city has adopted is well below standards. So they have pushed your local government to make changes regarding this ordinance as well as their future Casino, Fish and Chips. So enact this ordanince, but beware, it may attract the less desirable of sims. Changes: Modified ordinance slightly.     Increased income per month.     No change to crime effect. Modified Casino.     Increased monthly income substantially.     Increased Garbage output.     No change to Mayor Rating.     No change to Commercial effect.     No change to Residential effect. Comments: Being my first official mod, I wanted it to be a slight change, something I would use to balance out the system. I felt that §100 for an income for the ordinance, and a mere §300 a month for the Casino didn't justify the hit on Mayor rating, the increase on crime, or the NIMBY effects it generates. It also was cost-ineffective when you calculated the amount of water and power it consumed, so really the only benefit to this ordinance was a 20% increase in crime. Hopefully I have counter-acted that effect with a more reasonable benefit. Installation: To install, use the RPatch utility that can be found on this site: http://www.pucechan.com/~sc4dev/ Point the program to the proper files and hit apply, a delay will be noticed as the program updates your DAT file with the new settings, do not attempt to close before you see the "Successful" update. Be patient. This was created with the English version of SimCity 4. Author: Buggi Special thanks to ilive, Kar, and Builder. What a team! :-)

Readme included in download: --------------------------- Parking Fines Ordinance Mod --------------------------- Story: Riding the Bus to work one day (being the traffic minded mayor you are) you notice an entire street full of triple parked cars. What's worse, none had tickets. As soon as you get into the office you immeditatly draw up and pass a new Parking Fines Ordinance. The city council is 'persuaded' to pass it without comment and so now it's on the books. Swift penalties for cars not parked correctly. However, since people cannot get to their favorite stores like they used to, the Commercial Service sector is effected in a negative way. And even though the fines draw in money it still costs the city §150 per month to run the system. Changes: Completely rewrote the Carpool Incentive Ordinance. Now, no longer the same ordinance, it's Parking Fines.     Base Monthly cost of §150     All Commercial Service Wealth demand effected -5%     -5 effect on Mayor Rating     §0.01 per resident income (only cities with 150,000 sims or more will see income) Comments: This is a milestone Ordinance mod. Totally self contained within it's own DAT file, no need to use a patcher program. I will eventually release all my mods using this format. This is NOT a radical mod. Installation: To install, simply place the DAT file in your Simcity 4\Plugins folder, load game, enjoy. To Uninstall, remove dat file, but be aware that you'll no longer have this as an income ordinance. This was created with the English version of SimCity 4.

I may be being a bit thick, but what dose the desirability increaser have to do with it? If they're separate lots it would have made more sense to upload them separately seeing as they're completely unrelated.

It would be nice to have this with scaled down stats (less cost, less output), so as to be usable in smaller cities aswell. I guess it would just end up as a sort of reskin for the large pumping station, but would be cool none the less, even if just for aesthetics. Great work by the way.

[quote name='RiCHBoyZ' timestamp='1313757473'] i could provided you smaller config.bmp like 32X24 if you require and shouldn't be no problem for me to create one or for all. Thank. Let me know. [/quote] It would be much apreciated. Maybe include the alternate config in a sub-folder in the download? and if possible, try and weight it more towards medium cities.

it would be nice if someone made it to have a slightly higher capacity than the maxis one (at an increaced cost of course). say maybe 50% more to each?

Is there some way of condenceing it down so as to not contain so many cities? I'm not really one for huge regions and I always find "large" city plots a bit daunting. It would be nice if instead of 64 x 48 it were something closer to 32 x 24, and was composed of many medium cities rather than a few large ones. Is this possible to do without extencive work? But still, fantastic map, I haven't seen anything like it, definate 5/5.

I received and error when I started a game saying I was missing a plugin. It worked anyway but is very laggy, is there something I'm missing? I imported it using SC4Teraformer. Also, on both region and local view, the terrain is the normal grass colour rather than the red/orange in your screenshot, is this related? Other than that, it looks awesome.
