SimMars is a mod for SimCity 4 taking the game to Mars. It will bring new buildings, transportation systems, user-interface and music and will replace the Maxis SimCity 4 content as far as possible, giving you the feeling to play a colony on Mars. The mod is still at beta stage. Beta 3 was released in October 2010.
Beta 3 is another step towards the goal of SimMars. Most main game functions and buildings have been replaced and the mod plays fairly well now. However, it is still a beta and hence unfinished. Not everything is replaced yet or fully functional. SimMars will install and play completely separate from your SimCity 4 installation.
SimMars Beta 3 additions since last release:
- 180 new BATs (buildings) of all types
- new highway, rail, subway, elevated rail, toll booths and spaceport.
- SimMars game launcher: Beta 3 launches individually from SimCity 4 (see installation notes below)
- new User-Interface graphics
- new disaster (Blow-Out, replaces fire)
- 5 new music tracks
- the first few automata models
- new ordinances
- transformed news items
Main goals for the next release are:
- creating and modding new automata models (vehicles)
- implementing NAM elements (Network Add-on Mod)
- replacing avenue and one way texture

I've noticed the first time! It gave me a big package! XDD
Anyway, in the future release it will be more veichles( civilian,police,firefighters ecc.)?
Thank you for the upload and hard work! Might we see a sim moon sometime? It is about time that Earth colonized mars!
Nice! :) I was just playing SimCity4 and was wondering if there are any new mods :) This one came like ordered :D
How do you install this? i've placed it in the plugins folder and it's done nothing.
this isnt supposed to be placed into the plugins folder. it comes with an installer. please follow the info in the readme, it's all in there.
ooh. important question. Does this one have a water filter system? as the Beta 2 didn't and it always annoyed my advisors.
it does indeed :)
Uhh. my simcity 4 shortcut launches sim mars, even though I checked and found that there was a different path for the two of them.
I'm wondering: How exactly does one download the mod? The link to gamefront just gets me to a page that says it isn't available...
Anyone?
