I am just getting back into SimCity after being away for a few years. I started with the Original SimCity and went to SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000, SimCity 4, Rush Hour. I then got married and had a family, new computers and all. I tried Cities XL at one point, was not overly impressed, just did not have the time. Recently downloaded Cities: Skylines, I like it but miss SimCity 4. My 9 year old son like Cities: Skylines also, but finds it very complex. I decided to try to load SimCity 4. Ran into the disk issue, decided to download a copy from GOG.com. It is up and running now.
I had saves all my directories, Regions and Plugins folders. I am wondering how I go about putting these into the new install of SC4? I tried just dumping the folder contents into the new directories but that does not seem to work.
The GOG.com install is currently unpatched and nothing extra installed or loaded. I removed the files I had dumped into the directories. I am sure that back in the day I would have remembered how to do this, I think I did it switching computers before. It has probably been 12 years or more.
Please let me know what I need to do to get SC4 up an running to todays standards and how to load my old region if possible. There is a lot of time and effort in the old region!
I was a member on this site years ago I think, could not remember what the login might have been. I have the old STEX Collector's Edition CD Vol. 1 and STEX Collector's Edition DVD Vol. 2.
I want to be able to show my son what I had made and to introduce him to the City Building Game that everyone has tried to improve upon.
Cities: Skylines is Great! Enjoying learning that also, I want Good Old SC4 to compare it to!
Thanks for any help offered!
