Hello there everyone. I've recently gotten back into playing SimCity after a 6 month+ hiatus as I've developed a renewed interest now modding is a possibility. I was wondering, well, more like hoping, that there is a possibility that we could have a mod where we can plop any building. I know this is possible in SimCity 4 with a cheat and it's ideal, but I can appreciate that SimCity 2013 is a little more complicated. The main reason I want this is because for the majority of the time, I do not like the randomness of the buildings that grow in the zones. A lot of the time it looks mis-matched, add to that I'd like to plop the city set growables on their own as I'd like to have a little bit of London and Paris in my city, almost in a similar vein to 'Chinatown'. Also, with this you can avoid having towering residential skyscrapers wedged in the middle of teeny tiny houses. Perhaps this could also allow for more than three landmarks in one city, as I'd love to be able to have however many I'd like. Does anybody have any knowledge of whether this would be possible, would it be something that you would like? Fundamentally it would give you the option of having complete control of how your city looks and it's cohesiveness. Thank you in advance. I hope there is a talented individual out there who could make this dream a reality. - Tony

Has anyone managed to look into this yet? I remember ProcsKalone mentioned he could work something out with this. Thanks once again!

I'm still surprised nobody has looked into this yet. I did message MaxisGuillaume to see if he could enact something with this but I am yet to hear back from him.

Has anybody looked into this at all? I understand there is a lot of demand for this as there was too with SC4. The ability to plop all growable buildings would make for some great looking cities, like Metzger0528 said, without having duplicate buildings, spaces, etc. Can anyone bring this to MaxisGuillaume's attention? Thanks.

Anything you could muster would be greatly appreciated. Is it my understanding that you can plop any RCI building? So if I wanted a road full of similarly shaped commercial buildings, or a road full of townhouses for example, that would be possible, so you can select exactly what type/style of building you want plopped? Would this extend to Landmarks too, etc? I'm playing exclusively offline from here on out, so anything you can tell me would be appreciated, thank you.

This is definitely something I'd love to see too. I've not heard anything about it being worked on, though I hope someone will come along and clarify where things stand with it.
