I've discovered that heightmaps don't import correctly into SC3KU (GOG version, if it even matters) for me when using load terrain. Most of the terrain always ends up below sea level, and the terrain ten up/terrain one up commands raise both the sea level and the terrain itself which obviously doesn't help. I've tried modifying my bitmap file every six ways from Sunday, but it seems like no matter how I go about changing them, exporting them, et cetera I'm left at square one. I've also tried heightmaps created by others (e.g. the one found in the tutorial for importing heightmaps into SC3KU by catty-cb), and they too are plagued with this same problem. The heightmap itself (heightmap.bmp): The result: What it should actually resemble (the terrain had been modified post-import here, but it my point still stands):

Version 0.2.0
104 Downloads
Overview This is a pack of 23 46 custom decals ("Details") for the SimCity 3000 Building Architect Tool. Installation Download either file. Note that the contents of both archives are identical, with the only difference being the archive container format and compression method used. If in doubt, download the zip version. Extract the BACustom directory from the downloaded archive into SimCity 3000 Unlimited/Apps, merging it with the existing BACustom directory in that location. If you've installed a previous version of these decals, you'll be prompted to overwrite them. Do so. The next time you launch the Building Architect Tool, you will find them under the "Custom" category in the Details section. Usage The main intended use for these decals is to give the illusion of ambient occlusion, something that the BAT is not capable of when rendering. I've attached two screenshots of a BAT project that should help demonstrate the effect these decals can have. Known Issues, Errata I strongly advise that you use these with custom Paints/textures rather than torture yourself by trying to use them in tandem with other "regular" Details. I am unfamiliar with the exact details of the .plt format used by the BAT to specify the placement of details within the menu. Help with figuring this out would be appreciated! I am open to requests and ideas for additional variants.-

Hi, all! So, I've seen talk on the GOG forums or Simtropolis (Maybe, both?) about how SimCity 3000 Unlimited isn't as noisy as people remember it to be. In 2021, I don't expect anyone to have a Creative (formerly Creative Labs) sound card. Nonetheless, Creative released its Sound Blaster AE-5 sound card a few years ago and I purchased one last year. With Windows Vista, hardware-accelerated 3D audio ceased to exist in Windows. When you install the Sound Blaster Command application for the AE-5 sound card, the sound card drivers are installed and Creative ALchemy is installed as well. Creative ALchemy can enable 3D audio for older games in modern Windows. Last night, I thought I'd try enabling 3D audio for SimCity 3000 Unlimited in Creative ALchemy and much to my surprise, SimCity 3000 Unlimited was plenty noisy when I had opened it next. I had opened the Europolis map and I could hear industry, sirens, car horns, and crickets. Also, it's pretty slick to zoom into a flying helicopter and to hear it move from the left side of my headphones to the right. I don't know if disabling 3D audio in SimCity 3000 Unlimited will revert it back to its noisier state if you don't make use of Creative ALchemy. Also, I don't know what kind of resources there are to enable Creative 3D audio for users who don't have a Creative sound card. I've heard of Indirect Sound, so perhaps, that's something to look into. I'm not into having a separate "retro" build. I like getting everything to work as well as I can get it to work in my primary Windows 10 PC. I've been going through a lot lately and I have a ton of hard drives in my PC with a PCIe card so that I can use more SATA storage drives than my motherboard has ports for. Also, I have an Nvidia 1050 Ti in my PC to complement my 2080 Super because I got a little bit irrational when it came to the notion of adding more monitors. I'm working on selling what I don't need and right now, my Sound Blaster AE-5 is getting very hot air blown on it because it's right under my 2080 Super's fans. Once I sell my extraneous hard drives and the 1050 Ti, I'll move my sound card to a lower slot on the motherboard.

Hi, I wrote on my website a tutorial that includes several new ways to get Sim Broadway back in SimCity 3000 Unlimited, but I'm not sure if it's advertising... Edit: The correct configuration for most SimCity 3000 Unlimited/World Edition users (with filenames corrected) is: 0x01="SIM Broadway",0,"Music\3kg2.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x02="Updown Town",0,"Music\3kj1m.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x03="Night Life",0,"Music\3kj2m.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x04="South Bridge",0,"Music\3kj3m.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x05="Central Park Sunday",0,"Music\3kj4m.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x06="Building",0,"Music\3kp1.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x07="Magic City",0,"Music\3kp2.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x08="Illumination",0,"Music\3kp3m.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x09="New Terrain",0,"Music\3kp4.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x0a="Concrete Jungle",0,"Music\3kp5m.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x0b="Power Grid",0,"Music\3kt1.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x0c="Infrastructure",0,"Music\3kt2.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x0d="Urban Complex",0,"Music\3kt3.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x0e="Window Washer's Dream",0,"Music\3kd1.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x0f="SimCity 2000 Theme",0,"Music\SC2KBug.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x10="The Howling Wind",0,"Music\3kse1.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x11="Sixth Floor",0,"Music\3kse2.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x12="Desert Sand",0,"Music\3kse3.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x13="City Lights",0,"Music\3kse4.xa","",0,1,0,1 0x14="City of Dreams",0,"Music\3kse5.xa","",0,1,0,1 Site is dead

Hello, I've recently built a PC. I decided to wax nostalgia and play some Simcity 3000 unlimited. However, there was an error during installation. I know the solution to that error but I have another problem. I've uninstalled the game from my computer. There are no related files under program files x86 and I have even deleted the keys to the game from the registry. The game no longer shows in my programs and features but every time I insert the disk and autorun the program, it still shows uninstall as the button (not giving me the option to install it). Finding information to fix it on the Internet has been shoddy. The closest I got was a bunch of trolls answering the same question from someone else on a yahoo answers post from 8 years ago. Idk if there are any other possible routes I could take to allow me to install the game. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Sorry if this is in the wrong forum) I run Windows 7, 64-bit. Help me Simtropolis community, you're my only hope! -Vinnie

Does anyone know where can I download custom-made buildings for SimCity 3000/Unlimited? Or if anyone has these buildings? I'm looking for these: -MetLife Building, New York -Willis (Sears) Tower, Chicago -Space Needle, Seattle -US Bank Tower, Los Angeles -AON Centre, Los Angeles OR Chicago -TransAmerica Pyramid (optional; I would appreciate it if anyone downloaded this before the legal takedown and still has it around) As you might've known, the SimCity Exchange is not around anymore and the CityBuilders.co.nz exchange only has content made by Maxis. Don't suggest these two.

So I installed SimCity 3000 Unlimited that came with Building Architect Plus (BA+) last month. My computer runs Windows 7 Starter. The game runs fine but BA+ always crashes when I run it, even though I set it to run as Administrator. Anyone can help me with this? Is there a patch that fixes this problem? P/S: I hope you guys respond sooner...
