Welcome to Pseudo3D's SimCity 4!

THIS WEBSITE LAST UPDATED JULY 7, 2010

Hello and welcome to Pseudo3D's SimCity 4! This is a spin-off of Two Way Roads and focused on SimCity 4. But that's not all! PS3DSC4 will focus on a variety of things, including:

- A BAT showcase
- A compendium of SimCity 4 information, from my own research and others (it will be properly cited, obviously).
- Showcases of cities (both mine and others)
- The history of SimCity (hopefully I will scrounge Archive.org for good stuff)

Enjoy yourself!

Wal-Mart Progress Log

July 6, 2010
In 2D Google Earth, I got the numbers for the footprint of Wal-Mart. Four cities were collected. Hearne, Bryan, Caldwell, and Navasota. Hearne's Wal-Mart closed in 1990, Bryan's opened as part of a mall, and College Station's could not be collected as the blurry 1995 photo showed it being expanded (it has since done another expansion).
Started gmax, built footprint, space for overhang (I guessed on it), and built a box for the main store. Took a long time to render.

Fiddled with the settings a bit. Realized I had to always launch SC4 BAT rather than gmax. Started a BAT thread.

Wal-Mart



Description: A small-town Wal-Mart.
Potential in SimCity 4: Every small town in the South needs a small Wal-Mart.
