Go to this page and download the "sku 2 update", this'll update your version to the latest one available (1.1.638.0). If you didn't mount both iso's at the same time at some point it'll ask you to insert disk 2, just mount "SC4DELUXE2.iso" and click "Ok". Marvel upon those beautiful isometric high-rises on the install screen while you wait. Mumble "Yeah, yeah, yeah" to yourself and click "Ok" (c:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe) Navigate to "SC4DELUXE1.iso" and choose "setup.exe".Ĭhoose your language and give it the serial number that came with your downloaded copy. If you don't have an 'fn'-button, just right-click the wrapper and choose "Show package contents" and open the "Wineskin" app you'll find there. Note that it's in "User"/Applications/Wineskin/.įn-double click the wrapper you just created.

Be sure to find one with a serial.txt file though. Also, don't worry about cracks or NoCD's that might or might not be included, we'll get that from somewhere else. There should be plenty of hits on the piratebays and kickasstorrents' of the world. I'm not gonna point you to a specific URL because I'm not your mom. Go to your favourite torrent site and search for "SimCity 4 Deluxe", make sure you download a full Windows version with lots of positive comments. That being said, I'm not responsible if any of you breach copyright and quite frankly, I don't give a fuck! :Dįirst thing you need to do is download Wineskin. To be perfectly legal you might have to buy the Windows version and use that one instead of a torrent. Don't take my word for it though, I'm not sure! Just my two cents. If you own just the Mac version, I think this method should still be legal because as far as I know having one version grants you a licence for the other one automatically. So, without further ado, here's how to do it:ĭISCLAIMER: This method depends on the full version for Windows and while you don't need to actually own either the Mac or Windows version (or both) for it to work, it's the legal thing to do. ![]() I thought it would be a good idea to share how I did it with the community since it seems that there are still lots of people interested. So I took matters into own hands and finally, after 3 days of troubleshooting I now have a perfectly stable, fully working and fully updated version of SC4 Deluxe on my Mac with dozens of perfectly working mods installed. ![]() So I set out and quickly discovered I can't use my old copy of SC4 Deluxe on my current system (10.8.2) and anywhere I looked I couldn't find a relevant, updated guide on how to get around this. While I have no interest whatsoever in the new SimCity, it did manage to make me excited again for its 10 year old predecessor, pretty crazy huh? Just look at what's within your power with some nice custom mods and tell me this game is not still insanely relevant: In my opinion 3D is way worse than the beautiful classic isometric look of SC4 for this franchise.Īnother thing is that the online community surrounding SC4 is still quite alive, with thousands of free mods that'll turn your game into anything you can dream of. To my huge disappointment, SimCity 2013 looks childish, bland and boring to me. I think that even though it is 10 years old, it looks a million times better than the new one. Hello /r/SimCity! After all the commotion surrounding the new SimCity I decided I wanted to give the good ol' SC4 another go.
