Have you ever thought about making content for SimCity 4, but didn't know how to get started? The My First Mod tutorial will guide you through the basics of creating Lots for SimCity 4. The tutorial covers how to make both Ploppable and Growable lots for your game. All you need is the Lot Editor and Plugin Manager tools which come on the disk versions, or can be downloaded here. Included are some useful resources to help get you started creating and some tips and advice to avoid some of the pitfalls. In addition to the tutorial, I've set up a special support thread here, so if you are having problems following along you can ask for help. To install, simply extract the .zip file into a folder of your choice. Ensure you do not move the folder "MGB My First Mod_files", it must be in the same location as the .htm file for the images to display correctly. Enjoy, MGB.- 1 Comment

A while back over on SimPeg I got into a long-winded session trying to help someone get started with the Lot Editor and making Lots. It appears most of the existing tutorials are missing images and so it was about time something was done to help new users. I therefore decided to work out the best way to make new Lots using only the Maxis tools. Having long since stopped using them myself, I much prefer SC4 PIM-X by Wouanagaine, it was a bit of an uphill struggle. Along the way though, I think I found a good strategy for making new Ploppable and Growable lots and have compiled that information into a tutorial you can download here. I think a download works better for this kind of thing, since downloads seem to survive forum updates and such in-tact. As such this tutorial is freely distributable in the future in any way you like. If hosting it somewhere, I merely ask you give me credit for it's creation. Along with the HTML tutorial are a couple useful resource files which will help you get started, but more importantly avoid the trap of copying Maxis Lots or overriding them. This thread is primarily designed for users of this tutorial to get help with any problems they may be having. More general questions that are outside the scope of this tutorial will be ignored. In such instances please use the correct forum to ask for help.
