Of course, you're going to change the file location given so that it leads to your Dropbox folder, but leave everything after the word "dropbox" exactly in tact. UserDir:"C:\Users\YOURNAME\Dropbox\SimCity\SimCityB12" Move your cursor all the way to the right with the arrow keys, and then, outside the existing quotes, add a space and then the following line: Right click the shortcut, choose Properties, and select the box that says "target". If you installed a GOG/Disc copy, you're going to need to launch it from the shortcut. We're going to do this by adding an 'argument' when the game runs.
Next you will need to configure SimCity 4 to use save files in your dropbox folder. This will take a little bit because I added some mods, which really inflate the filesize. Once you do this it will start downloading. Then, login to and accept it under the invitations tab. Then, read the rules I've set up to make this game work.įirst you'll have to tell me your Dropbox email so I can invite you to share the file. To get started, you'll need to get Dropbox, get Sim City 4 with the Rush Hour Expansion (or Deluxe Edition) and go through a few short steps to set it up. In addition, it will be fun to see everyone's creations come together to make one big, populated region. You can also interact more directly with the cities adjacent to you by sharing power, water, commuters, and garbage services. Cities in the region will affect the demand for jobs, workers, and goods in other cities. In other words, to build the biggest city possible, you have to build several cities, which I found dull doing on my own. For example, you need something like 30,000 middle-class commercial workers before you can have a middle-class commercial skyscraper. In fact, before your city can have the biggest and best skyscrapers, you must meet hidden quotas for workers for the entire region, which are basically impossible to reach with just one city. In Sim City 4, your city is part of a region, which can contain many cities, all player-made. It's an ad-hoc multiplayer that's effectively play-by-mail, only it mails every time you save. It's possible to sync all of these files by Dropbox while playing simultaneously. Quite simply, an in-game region of cities is composed of individual city files. I got the idea from an old post on sc4devotion forums, which is AFAIK the only time it's really been done.
This a multiplayer region for us to play some Simcity 4.
