Game guide:Creating a new neighborhood: Difference between revisions

If you want to use/create custom terrains, you should firstly know that ''The Sims 2'' terrains are ".sc4" files from an older game called ''SimCity 4''. So, if you want to create a custom terrain, you have to own the game. Firtsly, open ''SimCity 4''. Then, go to a '''small city'', because bigger ones won't work. Then start terraforming as you wish. Do not select "Mayor Mode" if you have not finished. After you are done terraforming, switch to "Mayor Mode" and start building roads. Do not build streets or other transportation items (highways, railroads, etc.), and do not build any roads diagonally. Then save the city. Copy the city from <code>C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\My Documents\SimCity 4\Regions\[Region Name]\City - [City Name].sc4</code> (Windows XP) or at <code>C:\Users\[user name]\Documents\SimCity 4\[Region Name]\City - [City Name].sc4</code> (Windows Vista or later) and paste it to <code>C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\SC4Terrains</code> (Windows XP) or <code>C:\Users\[user name]\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\SC4Terrains</code> (Windows Vista or later). Then you can use it as normal by following the 'Using Premade Terrains' section above.
