Yeah, it's not TS2, but I need some help. I downloaded a terrain from Loverat that I really like, but I wanted to add some more roads to it. I've tried everything to get it to show up in my game (which isn't registered, so I can't see anything on the official site) but it just doesn't. I did some searching on fansites and they all make my head spin with talking about things that I have no idea of.
I've checked all the city sizes (even though it should only be the small city size), and moving and renaming the file but nothing works. Any ideas?

Make sure you're using the same edition of the game (with expansions) that Loverat has, and make sure your head is not blocking the way.

Ok…
1) Place the .sc4 file in your My Documents \ SimCity 4 \ Regions \ Downloads folder.
2) Start up SimCity 4
3) Click on a city tile of the appropriate size in your region (for TS2 terrains: "small"), and choose "Import City"
Keep in mind the terrain is horizontally flipped, and use only straight roads: diagonal roads are not imported.

Yeah, I did that, Jordi, and the city doesn't show up. The Downloads folder is there, and so are the 3 cities I created myself but this one is not.

Oh no.  I've splodied my old one too, I think I actually need a self-help book or something, to get past deliberately wrecking my hoods.  I have a plan though. It's a good plan, now to just see if I carry it through or not... |

I've PM'd Loverat, so I'm just waiting to see what she says. Some people are so weird about their stuff, and not wanting anyone to modify it (even for their own use), so I hope she's not like that.

INTP - I didn't do it.

* simsbaby isn't sure what is going on, so he is going to show what he knows. So make sure that her lot is inside the downloads folder, now go into a Region and click on a small city.  Click on the button at the left and a window will pop up.  Now click on the plus next to downloads (It isn't showing up for me as nothing is in it) and pick the terrain that she created. It might not be named "IncyIsle" because the game looks at something inside the file not the file name My guess is that LoveRat has SC4 + RH but you shouldn't have problems if you have the deluxe version or SC4 + RH because they are the same game only with different packaging. |

Speaking of Sim City 4...
Are there any hacks out there for it? Like, maybe one that fixes the ridiculous issue of the terrain facing you sideways and tilted?
I don't know if maybe there's an ingame way to fix that, because I've only had the game for a few days and all I'm using it for is making terrains, but it's driving me crazy that the stupid thing is not STRAIGHT. I can't tell what I'm doing when it's like that.

Sara, check out www.simtropolis.com. It's a pretty big forum and they talk about mods (I never heard one called a hack - evil things  ) all the time, and I think they had a mod section as well. |

you said you renamed it but did you rename it proper?
Try this: (copy below and paste over current name) Put the city in the sc4 dl folder, then import as usual
City - Incy Isle.sc4
I had no issues importing it when I named it proper.

Okay, so clearly Loverat doesn't care about my predicament *boohoo* and I need some help.
Since this is my first and foremost favourite terrain and all I want to do is add more roads, I am sending out a request for someone to help me do this. If you can, please PM me or post here and I'll tell you what I am looking for.

I just opened Incy Isle in my SC4 game - I had been skipping a step. Act as if you're creating a new city and click a square but then click the little monitor icon and it will ask you which city you want to use. It will show you the whole file tree of regions. *but if you'd like help, lemme know |

I did that, starrling. I didn't know there was another way. This terrain is not going to open up in my game.  So yes, I'd like help please. |
