So far, the only regions I have available for SimCity 4 are ones I modified slightly to change the size of the cities. Given my love of sprawling metropolis-like cities, a little poking initially allowed me to replace the region grid with a 4×4 block of the largest-sized city blocks. After some more experimentation, I made a couple of regions that are actually larger than what the game will let you create by default. Without further ado, I present…

• Big City – A standard-sized region file, modified to consist of a 4×4 block of large cities, for 16 in total. Perfect for those of you who love to build sprawling metropolis-sized cities, and don’t want to waste any space with smaller city blocks!
• Bigger City – Double the size of a standard SimCity 4 region and filled with large-size cities, this region should provide more than enough space for even the more adventerous of players to expand into. Due to being twice normal size, this region may load and run slower on older machines.
• Biggest City – Four times the size of a standard region, this sprawling monstrosity of a region houses a 16×16 grid of large cities, for a massive total of 256 individual cities! Be warned, this region will load much slower than a normal-sized one, and will run slowly on older computers.
• Jigsaw – The same size as Biggest City, but instead of all the cities being the same size, they’re more of a mixed bag, with various sizes here and there in different patterns. This one has something for everyone, while still offering a truly vast area to expand into. As with Biggest City, this region will load slowly, and will probably run much slower than normal on older computers.
