edit: My question was answered.

So this topic seemed to evolve into general Sim City 4 talk.

That sounds great. Had no idea it existed.

The trick is to modify your config.bmp in your cities folder... Go to your cities folder in My Documents/Simcity4/Regions/ then to your desired region..

Open one of them, and you'll see a file config.bmp. Open that file in MS Paint, then simply alter the pixel size to 32x32.. (Really big) or you can also use 16x16 for a smaller region and use this colour to paint the image: (Under- Colors>Edit Colors)

R:0
G:0
B:255

With those values inserted, you'll get blue, so simply paint the entire 32x32 or 16x16 tile with blue. That's all! So when you enter into the game, open up that region and voila!

But be warned: It's better to start an empty region. The reason that it could possibly corrupt other cities (files) in the region and the game might freeze. So start an empty region with no cities for better safety.

Note i found this on the web, did not create it

aw. i knew you could mspaint the file to pick and choose region sizes. but i didnt think it would work unless you used the standardized sizes lol

so if i understand this right... i just fillcan the entire file with blue? lol

[Wedge]

No, that will just create a giant grid of the large cities and possibly screw up your region display if your region isn't the right size to fit in all those cities.

this game is old as hell x.x was designed for stuff comps that couldnt run a massive city. that is pretty much the only purpose of the regions.

no one has modded it out after all these years? :\

Deluxe Edition right here.
hates Win. Vista though, with random crashes to desktop and no error.

no guarantees.

Good game, lags like the stuff when running big cities though.
The way the earthquake works is silly as hell. Also needs more meteorite variation in size (ASTEROID :D)

I used to love this game, I had the Deluxe box, then I lost the auth code for it and haven't played it since.

I still have the disks and such, but I have noo idea if I can recover my key

I really suck at this game.

this

it's one of those complicated games that i really suck at but are so awesome-looking that you just want to keep playing, regardless of stupid rich people buying out my average-people houses and then whining because they can't find any jobs.

I remember using a cheat that was a park that gave you an absurd amount of income. Sometimes I would just build as many as these parks as possible and see how unreasonably high I could get my money.
