Terrain EditorIf you want to make a terrain all you have to do is go to some paint program on your com. Change pixels to 257 X 257. Change from color mode to grayscale. You cannot have any color!! (Only if you are doing a large city.) Now using white as highest terrain in the city and black as lowest, make an overview picture of a terrain. (The lighter the gray the higher the terrain will be when you load it.) When you are done, save it. Remember the path.

No more room in hell mod menu. For example: C:/ProgramFiles/Maxis/Cities.Go into Simcity and start a new city. When you are selecting the amount of Mountains, water, and trees, press SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+C all at the same time. When the textbox appears type the path.

(Like the example above.).
