Sim City 4 - Must-Have Mods

Ayreonaut · #1 Posted: **Sep 25, 2008, 3:58 AM**

So I finally decided to buy SC 4, and was wondering what some of the must-have mods are? I haven't played the game yet, as I am at work, but I'll get to it in time.

Almost 12 hours between posts. Maybe I should've waited until 9:56pm to reply. I've heard it may have issues with Vista, but don't know if it will for me. I want to install it, but probably shouldn't since today has been somewhat busy so far.

God damn this game's going to be addicting, I can just tell.

After many years away I started over with a (mostly) empty region and tiny villages. I'm trying the NAM mod, which supposedly makes the transportation model(s) more realistic. I like my cities to grow organically, so I start from villages and don't use cheats.

I have almost 1000 downloads for this game. It all depends on what you want to do with a region.
If you want better transportation and transit options then download the nam.
If you want more realistic cities, I suggest you download some W2W buildings which can be found on Simtropolis.
There is a lot of different scenery mods that deal with terrian, rocks, water, and trees.
For realistic waterfronts, there on many different downloads where you can get seawalls or canals is you want a Chicago loop type of city.
Also if you want big towers, search for top rated buildings and you can find some. There is a few from Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary. My favourites are the ones where you can plop them into the city and you can still get jobs from them.
Last thing is if you want to have fun without worrying about your finances then download the money tree. That way you can increase demand by having your taxes very low or even at zero.

On another note, I used Sim City 4 on vista and never had a problem. I'm currently using it on Windows 7. It just takes 10 minutes to load because of all the add-ons I have. Sometimes my game will quit on me but it's not very often.

Hope you have fun.

A lot of them are useful. But, you have to have NAM. It just opens up so many possibilities.

I love SC4, mod like crazy, but I don't know what you mean by NAM, what is it?
