Moreover, SC4 does have a control interface very similar to The Sims. SC4 comes with some default sims for those without a copy of the game. Sims can be imported into the city where they will report what they think of the area they are living in. SimCity 4 can be used in conjunction with Maxis' popular game The Sims.
Additionally, the simulated city can now be seen at night time as well as during daytime. In this version, the player may develop several dependent cities at the same time, eventually populating the entire region. For example, neighbor deals could be established, where a city could exchange resources such as water, electricity, or garbage disposal for money. Neighbor cities played a large role in the previous version of the game, SimCity 3000. The regional play concept adds a whole new dimension to this sequel of SimCity. To use this (or your own), you'll want to do the following steps:Ģ) enter SC4, create a new region, then either load a different region or exit SC4ģ) copy your config.bmp file into your My Documents \ SimCity 4 \ Regions \ yournewcityname folder.Ĥ) reload your new region and you should see your new tile layout.There are many differences between SimCity 4 and previous versions, the largest difference being that cities are now located in regions that are divided into segments, each of which can be developed. Here is an extremely enlarged copy of the config.bmp file that I'm using to create my custom region: Large cities are 4km x 4km and use the blue channel set at 255 as their designator. Medium cities are 2km x 2km and are designated by setting the green channel to 255. Small cities are 1km x 1km, and the red channel needs to be set to 255 (you can set blue and green to whatever you want).
Once you have your bitmap, all you have to do is color in the blocks with the appropriate city size color. Each pixel across and down is 1km in size, so the 16km x 16km default size would be 16x16 pixels. All it takes is a 24-bit bitmap of the appropriate size. One of the simpler things to do in SC4 is to create your own custom region layout.
