No dependencies. All lots are 5x5 ploppables in the Reward menu, available at the start, and are network and transit enabled (capacity: 100) Maxis lighting. This project is inspired by the first version of SimCity (Classic) now called 'Micropolis' developed in the 1980's and released as open source. The 7th preview is an image of a session of playing the Java version of Micropolis that is freely downloadable from github.com. In Micropolis there are only three same-sized squares for RCI zoning. I've used the reward system in SC4 to re-lot all 6 of the large commercial office buildings, 2 of the largest high-wealth residential, 1 of the largest high-tech industrial buildings, and 1 agricultural building. All the lots are the same area size like in Micropolis. The queries are the same queries used for the buildings as grown in the game. The associated reward will only be indicated in the reward menu as the item is selected and plopped. The lots contain code for both the reward and the replacement building so apparently the lots provide the benefits of the reward as well as the operation of the building. The intent of making these lots is providing access to the buildings so the reward function was not evaluated, but the queries do report capacity usage for the replaced building --no 'goofy stat' for the reward. NOTE: Residential ploppables may indicate some usage initially, but will quickly degrade to Abandoned Due to Commute Time so are not functional as Residential. Previews of Buildings Featuring Terrain Mods (see Preview and Install.html in zip file) Terrain Resources Listed in: Cori's Terrain Shoppe Descriptions of the 10, 5x5 Large RCI and 1 Civic Building are included in the zip file: The buildings appear in the reward menu with a unique menu icon, the building and reward names. The Opera House, Farmer's Market and Tourist Trap rewards also appear in the Parks menu. • Van Prooijen Trading: Commercial: Convention Center • Ong Condos: Residential: Major Art Museum • Hurt Enterprise Headquarters: Commercial: Tourist Trap • Hogan, Wallace, and White Insurance: Commercial: Resort Hotel • Cahalane Communications: Civic: Bureau of Bureaucracy • Lind Entertainment: Commercial: Stock Exchange • Byall Tower : Residential: Opera House • Tubing Facility: Industrial: Advanced Research Center • Alvin's Acres: Agriculture: Farmer's Market • Pedriana Pharmaceuticals: Commercial: TV Station A stage 8 CO§§§ building in the Chicago tileset. Capacity: 7,103 ______________________________________________________ I've given this lot project the name MicroProject and made a logo for identifying the lots in the Reward and Parks menus. Each lot appears near the original reward, with a building icon and the logo overlay. The original reward is not replaced. The re-lots are available at the start of a new city.

There are 2 folders, each with grayscale heightmaps, config.bmp and region.ini files ready to be placed in your User\ Documents\ SimCity 4\ Region folder. Render using CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+R, then navigating to the Alpine Sublime/BO folder and selecting the Alpine_Sublime_1025x897_MAXIS/GOBIAS.bmp file, OR, use SC4 Mapper to 'Create a Region' from a 'Grayscale Image'. The MAXIS version is made with height levels for most terrain mods. If you are rendering using the SC4 rendering function the resulting region view will reflect the terrain mod you have installed. If you are using a Gobias terrain mod the height levels are different so a special file has been made for the Gobias mods. Featured in the previews is the Gobias Berner Oberland terrain mod designed for the Alpine biome specifically of Switzerland. Both the SC4 Mapper program and the Gobias BO Terrain mod are located at SC4 Devotion on the LEX (Lot Exchange) SC4 Mapper 2013 (v1.0) Gobias Berner Oberland Terrain Mod (v1.0) ________________________________________________________ The World of SimCity 4 In SC4 sea level is about 225 meters from the sea floor. Each increment raises the terrain 50 meters, so at 5 increments sea-level is half under-surface and half above-ground. Add one more increment of 50 meters and you are on land at about 25 meters above sea level. Only by using the terra-former or a grayscale heightmap can you get the land down to touch the water and wade around in the wet sand. The Gobias Terrain mods, BO and Sudden Valley, change the increments from 50 meters to 100 meters, doubling them, so 3 increments from sea floor in Gobias is 300 meters, or (300-225) 75 meters above sea-level. The CPT Terrain mods, Columbus, are consistent with the Maxis vanilla terrain so no adjustment is needed to compensate for the higher elevation of ground level above sea-level. The grayscale range from 0 to 255 covers about 1200 meters above sea floor (24 increments x 50). Subtract 5 increments below sea level (19 x 50) gives you about 900 meters of height above ground. The full depth of the SC4 block of space is (62 x 50) 3100 meters or about 3 kilometers high, about 1-third of the highest mountain on Earth. SC4 was designed to represent building construction, not geological topography. The tallest building in the world is near 900 meters, and the tallest mountain is about 10 times as high. For persepctive, look up a mountain you know that is in the 1000 meter range to get an idea of how SC4 renders topography. If this is not confusing enough then consider the explanation I give for the scaling in SC4 3D Space in my SC4 Earth Maps Grayscale and SC4M Maps file. The difference in scaling is between fitting SC4 into the real world and fitting the real world into SC4. Therein between, is the wonderful world of SimCity 4. ________________________________________________________ Special thanks to @CorinaMarie for continuing inspiration and study of the joy of SC4 Mapping. Here, I will, hopefully, soon link this file page to another major mapping project.

These Business Deals have been modified from the originals and appear in the reward menu at the start of the game. The negative mayor rating effect has been reversed to a positive effect, the amount of income increased and positive landmark and park effects and jobs added. The impacts of pollution, crime, and radiation have been radically reduced or completely removed, and other positive benefits added such as cap-relief and transit. These rewards may now be used safely to add income to your budget. Each deal/reward has a color-coded menu icon and is separate from the original which will still appear as usual according to the game.. Eco-Friendly Toxic Waste Dump Business deal income: §200. Same job demand as Advanced Research Center. Slight landmark and park effect. Minimal pollution, no radiation. Power and water consumed: 200.

The Regional Fire Station was made for building cities in which designing is more important to the user than civic operations, reducing the need to place and monitor public safety buildings. The Regional Hospital is an additional building for the same purpose. I have used the Ice Cream Truck to represent ambulances as there is not one in the Maxis props in LE, so although it may seem a stretch of the imagination, ice-cream at least associates to comfort for most people. The building props are mostly from the Disease and Advanced Research Center and Airport to maintain a modern theme that could also be applied in a futurist setting. The radius and capacity are adjusted to cover most of a large city tile. A Regional Police Station has been added to this download completing this set of public safety buildings, and an HTML Preview file added featuring the 3 lots. Regional Hospital Patient Capacity: 12800, Radius: 2800. Landmark and Park Effect: 20, 10. Pollution 10, 5. Maintenance Cost: 800 Regional Police Station Dispatches 25 cars, Strength 200. Radius: 2800. 1 Helicopter. Jail Capacity: 200. Protection Cost: 400. The Regional Fire Station covers nearly an entire large city tile with moderately strong fire-fighting strength. If placed in the center of the large tile its radius reaches close to the tile edges. This station would also fit well in appearance and strength as an airport fire station. Plop Cost: 5000 Protection Cost: 400 Center Strength: 250 Radius: 2000 Total Dispatches: 8 Dispatch Center Strength: 200 Dispatch Radius: 2000 Exterior Strength: 200 Air and Water Pollution, Garbage, 5, 3 Located under fire stations in the civics menu with a bright red engine icon. All Maxis props and lighting, no dependencies. To install copy and paste the Region Public Safety folder into your User\Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins folder. (delete the readme and preview files).

This lot has been tested in-game, it was found that at least 2 of them are required to almost completely reduce pollution across a large tile as well as to provide water across a grid of pipes covering the whole tile. It was tested also with the Utility Radius and Traffic Pollution Modd. Use the Data View and Cheetah Speed to monitor changes in water supply, air and water pollution. The pump is programmed to consume a very small amount of water so plop the pump in a non-polluted area as tests indicate it will not immediately clean its own base area and may fail to operate. Location: Water Menu under Utilities Menu, and Power Menu for 1x1 Generator You must connect both the large water pump and the sewage treatment connectors to realize both the effect of the radical volume of water and the treatment. The large water pump is the re-lot that will appear in the water utilities. The dual purpose is combined into one lot with its own unique menu icon. You must connect the water pipe to the water pump house which is in the top-right of the lot, the center connection is for the water treatment connection. Stats: Lot Size: 5 (width) by 6 (depth) Water Produced and Treated: 1,000,000 cubic meters per hour. Pollution Reduction: -1200 over 300 Plop Cost: 25,000§ Maintenance Cost: 10§ Jobs: 15§, 290§§, 15§§§ Moderate Landmark and Park Effect. Transit and Network Enabled Power Consumed: 200 MWh (megawatt hours) Dependency: Included base texture .dat file. Maxis Night-lighting FOLDER: Radical Water Pump and Pollution Reduction V1 File: List of Alternate Water Systems.txt File: Preview and Install.html File: Readme.txt SUB-FOLDER: Radical Water Pump and Pollution Reduction This is the folder inside the unzipped title folder to be placed in your User\Documents\SimCity 4\ Plugins folder. It contains 2 files: 1. the Radical_Water_Pump.SC4Lot, and 2. the BaseTexturesElements_RadicalWaterPump.dat file with base textures extracted from my Vol.1 Base Textures Elements package. If you use the larger package then delete the smaller .dat file included as the textures don't need to be loaded twice. The larger package is linked below: Base Textures Vol 1.1: Elements, for SC4 1.1.0 SUB-FOLDER: 500 MWh Power Generator 1x1 File: RadicalWaterPump_PowerGenerator.SC4Lot I've added a 1x1 lot to generate power for the water pump. If you use the Data View Moisture Mod to locate a high volume of water it may be in a remote area, otherwise a non-polluted area may also be in a remote area. The power generator is equal to 2½ times the wind power plant. Previews: The 2nd preview shows the progressive reduction of air pollution; the reduction of water pollution is about the same. The test city has 2 heavy industry areas and congested traffic generating severe pollution over the entire tile. A third radical water pump would completely eliminate both across the entire tile. The 3rd preview shows at bottom Cori's Data View of Moisture mod which uses the radiation data view to show changes in moisture from rainfall. In more complicated terrain the moisture data view is useful to see where to place water pumps which depend on aquifers. The mod is linked below: Cori's DataView - Moisture v 2017.01.22 by @CorinaMarie The top 2 frames show the progressive increase of water-flow over the entire tile. Water pipes are tedious to place in large tiles requiring about a 30x30 grid. To make the task of watering the tile easier use the Utility Radius and Traffic Pollution Reduction Modd by RalphaelNinja linked below: UtilityRadius TrafPollution Modd by @RalphaelNinja The last preview is of this .SC4Lot in production in the Lot Editor for anyone who has enjoyed using SC4 as a design tool, creating .SC4 city tiles, and who may be considering taking the next step of creating .SC4Lot files. Using Lot Editor is not much more complicated. Below is the tutorial that got me started almost a year ago. Lot Editor: Beginner's Tutorial by @jbbry232 INSTALL: To install copy and paste the Radical Water Pump and Pollution Reduction folder into your User\Documents \SimCity 4\Plugins folder. To also install the power generator copy and paste the 500 MWh Power Generator 1x1 folder into the folder above. Mac Users The original lot does not work with the Mac version of the game. If you use a Mac, after installation, replace the original .SC4Lot file with the one contained within "Mac Fix.zip". Thanks to @Hernank for the fixed file(s).
