I published an update for Graphics Rules Maker today, to help get decent graphics on #SimCity4, #TheSims2 and #TheSimsStories games. It now has dark mode support too!

Get in touch if you find any bugs etc! Preferably through Discord, but Mastodon obviously also works.

#Citiesskylines2 will have room for cities up to five times larger than the original.

And individual "blocks" within a map don't have to be connected.

That's awesome. The best thing unique to #Simcity4 was the region system. This isn't exactly that, but it's similar.

In preparation for Cities Skylines 2, I have decided to go back and revisit Simcity 4. First impressions?

Wow...these folks really like farms.

I think this is one of my favourite video game songs. It starts off kind of eerie but then those drums come in and it just picks up so much energy

Usually I'm very measured when it comes to gaming hours, but oh dear... I forgot how much of a timesink #simcity4 is. I spent an embarassing amount of hours landscaping, then on trying to have everything in my cities running properly. Well, there went my productivity for today and yesterday.

Sauropod Pond!
With 20 years of user generated content my City is full of the most surprising things.

I'm a big fan of cute little fishing villages like the ones I visited in Cornwall on family holidays, whenever I get an opportunity I encourage one to grow on a city tile.
It's actually a mountain lake, as I'm up in the hills of my City right now, named after Christopher Lee, "Chrislee Lake" (who must have died when I founded this city tile.)

I like to leave references to current events as I build in #SimCity4.
The current ridiculousness over that #ChineseSpyBalloon is now immortalised in my City.
Would this make my City illegal in China now?
Will Pooh Bear's feelings be upset?
Marilyn Monroe there has his number anyway, scowling at his dirigible antics from the crossing there.

Accidentally hit the maximum zoom out button on the city tile I'm currently working on and thought I'd take a picture while I was out here. #SimCity4 #SImCity #Gaming

Today I learned that you can use ReShade with #simcity4 to interesting results. Looks like an old school Adult Swim bumper.

Quick I need inspiration to go hard on #simcity4 again. I have a region that's been in the backburner for months and I feel infinite shame.

Kann ich noch jemanden zum Anschauen meines #simcity4-Videos überreden? :D

Jetzt habe ich mir #SimCity4 für das #MacBook #Pro mit #M1-Prozessor gekauft und es funktioniert nicht :mastosob: Es reagiert nicht auf #Mausklicks

A much more scenic view of my #simcity4 game

In honour of this week's #BlackFriday I have renamed a road in my city after Toni Morrison, who is fresh in my mind today due to the Fash's attempts to ban her work in schools.
