I really appreciate that Thank you SO much...….or.......maybe not - that's all my free time gone for the next 6 months ..... Hey Ho.....

Thank you for the Welcomes Excellent! I like that statistic! I actually quite like the cartoon-like quality of the graphics in SC3000 and now that I have to put on reading glasses to just play at all, I find them a bit easier to see Very much enjoying the eye-candy that is SimCity 4 though. Ha - I might have to have a go at SC2000 too just to fill in that 'missing link'

Ten thousand!!! - I think I just fainted! If it's not too much trouble for you, YES! I would love you for ever!

The very first! Ha ha - I am also officially a 'Fossil' I might look up Micropolis just for the nostalgia value Thank you x

Hi there, new here - have just introduced myself in the 'Newbies' thread. I'm using SimCity 3000 Unlimited from GOG on a Win 10 laptop. I'm really interested in the BAT feature and have fiddled about with it a bit but am finding it difficult to get my head round. I would like to have a go at tinkering with the existing standard buildings in the game but they don't appear in the list? There are only a few .bld files in the 'Buildings' folder - I'm guessing the rest are encoded in dll files or similar - is it possible to get them out? On a similar note, I'd also like to be able to transfer some of the English style buildings/tiles from my DVD copy of SCUK (would still be using this if my old XP PC hadn't died ) Again - they're not listed as separate .bld files - can I get those out too? A friend still has a working XP PC I could use as a go-between if needed. Thanks

Hello, I'm new to this forum and shall therefore introduce myself I've been playing SimCity for many-a-long-year with alternating periods of obsession and relative sanity. It's been so long that I may be mis-remembering some of what follows (especially as I am now officially 'old'). I originally had a really old SimCity (which I think might even be a version before SC2000?) which I had on a SNES cartridge I think? Only grid-like cities were possible because you could only place a fixed-size large-ish block of zone at a time rather than choosing how many squares to fill and it appeared as a big outlined square/rectangle with R, C, or I in the centre. I wasn't very good at it, my nuclear plants kept rendering vast areas useless for a thousand years. I seem to remember one of the disasters involved Godzilla! I then had SimCity UK version on DVD which is where I became obsessed as the building styles were very familiar to me, being English (though I lamented the lack of Japanese B-movie giant lizards in it). I kept my old XP desktop running way past it's sell-by date just so I could continue playing it. (said PC was affectionately named 'Frankenstein' or 'Trigger's Broom' - only other English people will probably get the second reference ) I lurked in the SC3000.com and other forums, printing off reams and reams of tips and tricks and using up large amounts of graph paper and coloured pens. As a result I was able to build quite a few cities (even without cheating) where I ended up having to virtually eliminate all rivers/sea and level the entire terrain in order to fit in all the astronomical value skyscrapers Once the fever had died down a bit I made a few fairly pretty cities too. 'Frankenstein' unfortunately died beyond resurrection last year and my SCUK DVD wouldn't work on it's replacement due to MS dropping the DRAM thing in Win 10. I'm currently using SimCity 3000 Unlimited from GOG on a spanking-new Win 10 laptop. I'm really interested in the BAT feature and have fiddled about with it a bit but am finding it difficult to get my head round. I would like to have a go at tinkering with the existing standard buildings in the game but they don't appear in the list? I'd also like to be able to transfer some of the English style buildings/tiles from my copy of SCUK so I've posted a couple of questions in the SC3000 sub-forum - if anyone thinks they might be able to help, I'd be glad to hear from you Cheers!
