Maxis Mods

Silly little mods for SimCopter and Streets of SimCity.

Recommended for use with SimCopterX or SimStreetsX, which not only patch both games to ensure reliable operation when run under modern versions of Windows but also ensure that they use local resource files.

Install each mod by replacing the appropriate file(s) in the geo folder (for .max files) and/or bmp folder (for .bmp files) with those provided.

For example, given a mod file called sim3d2-simcopter-mod-name.max, remove the original sim3d2.max file from SimCopter's geo folder, rename the mod file to remove the suffix, and place a copy of it in the geo folder to replace the original sim3d2.max file.

Overcome by megalomania, the mayor has flooded the streets with self-propelled statues of himself and banned private vehicles.

Wanted Wienermobile

Some nefarious hooligan has stolen the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile!

(This mod replaces the burglar's car with everyone's favourite vehicular tribute to processed meat.)

Custom Scenario Demo

This isn't technically a mod, but I reverse-engineered the binary format used to store scenarios, wrote some Python scripts to faciliate the creation of new scenarios, and made a little demonstration scenario.

Would you say they're... going rogue?

Elevated Highways

Highways that more closely resemble the ones depicted in SimCity 2000.
