Built in 1973 (clearly) and located in the Chicago suburbs, this building's color is one of the few things that sets it apart from thousands of its peers. Seriously, spend any time in the suburbs of any major American city and you will encounter approximately a billion of these. But very few of them will be gold! Somehow, this is not the first shiny golden 1970s office tower I've made. I have an affinity for buildings with colorful glass curtain walls, okay? Sue me. This building sits on a 5x6 lot and comes in growable and ploppable CO$$ varieties, both of which provide 1003 jobs. Both Darknite and Maxisnite versions are provided. Only one may be used at a time. The Darknite version requires SimFox's Day and Nite Modd. Dependencies: SuperSHK MEGA Parking Textures SHK Parking Pack BSC Common Dependencies Pack Enjoy! -

This Cairo 9x9 large tile region at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers is to scale at 1359 km². Also located here are some Missouri and Kentucky communities including Charleston and Wickliffe. Two versions are available to download: The SC4M file requires SC4 Mapper to set up. The png/config file for if you have a Mac or have preference for the ingame region import function. This version of the region requires downloading High Elevation Import Mods w Erosion Control Parameters and using "Mallow's Original 2500m.dat" file. Installation instructions are listed below. Note: The png/config will render somewhat different than the SC4M version. The first region screen preview shown here is the sc4m version with the Appalachian Terrain Mod, and the last preview is the png/config version with no mods. Region Installation Instructions for the png config version 1. Navigate to your SimCity "Regions" folder on your computer. 2. Create a new folder for the region in this folder and move the grayscale map png file and config file from this download into the folder. IMPORTANT: Follow the next few instructions so your region doesn't render underwater 3. Download High Elevation Import Mods w Erosion Control Parameters: https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/16790-high-elevation-import-mods-w-erosion-control-parameters/ 4. Take only "Mallow's Original 2500m.dat" from the download and place it in your "Plugins" folders. 5. If you have any terrain mods such as the Columbus Terrain Mod, Middle European Climate Mod, or Appalachian Terrain Mod, etc. or related files you will probably have to temporarily remove them from the "Plugins" folder for the region to install correctly. 6. Launch SimCity 4 and load the new region folder you made. The region is flat but the tile layout is visible. 7. Hold the Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R buttons together which will display a file navigator in the upper left. 8. Navigate to the png file and select it. The game will show a screen as if it's loading a city tile. 9. Be patient and wait for the game to render the entire new region one tile at a time. Don not interrupt or switch away from this until it is completed and the game returns to region view. 10. Your region is done and ready to play! 11. After exiting the game, remember to remove "Mallow's Original 2500m.dat" and replace any Terrain mods in your "Plugins" you may have temporarily removed. A requested region for Reddit user Darvince.

The Willis Tower, built as and still commonly referred to as the Sears Tower, is a 108-story, 1,450-foot (442.1 m) skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, United States.[3] At completion in 1973, it surpassed the World Trade Centertowers in New York to become the tallest building in the world, a title it held for nearly 25 years and remained the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere until 2014 and the completion of a new building at the World Trade Center site. The building is considered a seminal achievement for its architect Fazlur Rahman Khan. The Willis Tower is the second-tallest building in the United States and the 16th-tallest in the world. More than one million people visit its observation deck each year, making it one of Chicago's most popular tourist destinations. The structure was renamed in 2009 by the Willis Group as part of its lease on a portion of the tower's space. As of December 2013, the building's largest tenant is United Airlines, which moved its corporate headquarters from the United Building at 77 West Wacker Drive in 2012 and today occupies around 20 floors with its headquarters and operations center. The building's official address is 233 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

Loewenthal Metals, located in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago's south side, once functioned as a lead and zinc melter and scrap metal dealer, but ceased to operate in the early 1950s. The building currently appears vacant, but nearby development may soon rescue this building from an uncertain fate. This lot is modded for industrial (I-m) but would look right at home in a grittier commercial or mixed use district as well. 5x2 growable and ploppable I-m lots Provides 186 jobs (modded with the Industrial Quadrupler in mind) MaxisNite and DarkNite versions included DarkNite requires the Day and Nite Modd Installation Instructions: 1. Download either the DarkNite OR MaxisNite version. If you are unsure, choose the MaxisNite version. Attempting to use both versions in your Plugins at the same time may cause conflicts. 2.

Grand Central Chicago Station, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- Grand Central Station was a passenger railroad terminal in downtown Chicago, Illinois, from 1890 to 1969. It was used as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad terminus from 1910 until its demolition in 1971. This elegant building was built from brick, brownstone and granite. It has imposing arches, crenellations and many towers along the street façades. Of course, the most notable feature is the corner bell and clock tower. In game, this building is a medium-large sized railway terminus: in real-life, this was in fact the smallest of all of Chicago's rail terminals. This building also provides 297 Jobs (mostly low and medium wealth). When placing the rail terminus draw the tracks right inside the building to activate it.

G'Day Simtropians, This map I wish to present today is courtesy of a request fromTrillain2003 here at Club Simtrop, Thanks mate. It is of Peoria, a place I do believe that was visited by Stan and Ollie some time ago. See me up CLOSE and personal. This is a real world map and was produced with dem and satellite data. It measures 49.152km x 49.152km and utilising 16bit mapping technology it is in .SC4M format. Wouanagaine's mapper or terraformer is required for importation. The map is terrain and scale accurate. A readme has been included containing some links and instructions and a picture. I think that's all. Cheers- 6 Comments

Hey it's me again with another trinket of Chicago. The Aon Center, formerly known as the Amoco Building, and even formerlyer the Standard Oil building. This building was also the tallest building in the world from 1973 to 1974. This is not an exact model as you can see its shorter than it is in real life (in comparison with the Sears Towers' on here). However this is a more... Artists depiction type dealy. I think it looks ok a little smaller. Oh well I hope you all enjoy this. It's a landmark.- 50 Comments
