Welcome to SC4Evermore, the newest independent fansite in the SimCity 4 community!  We hope that you'll enjoy your stay here, and that you find the site to be a useful resource that helps you to get more enjoyment out of SC4 and its massive array of custom content, some two decades after its release.

Latest Updates - 26 September 2023

• LEX Files: Around 1300 LEX files have now been restored (typically as parts of larger packs rather than as their original single downloads).  New LEX Legacy Packs will continue to be added, but as we have encountered technical issues with some of the original files, this has slowed the process.  We thank the community for its continued patience and support as we try to restore this content, and do it properly.
• SC4 Multiplayer (SC4MP): For those unfamiliar with SC4MP, it is a tool that allows SC4 to be played in real-time multiplayer mode. The SC4Evermore Staff is interested to know your reaction, and that is why our colleague Flann decided to open a SC4MP server.  We have opened a space on the SC4Evermore Discord to discuss the "Flann and Friends" server, and cooperate on progress for the region.  For more information, check the SC4E Discord server here: https://discordapp.com/invite/NsNZHEC
• New SC4 Challenge (in cooperation with Simtropolis): The theme of the new challenge is Gothic, Horror and/or Supernatural and consists of The Gameplay/City Journal Challenge and The BAT Challenge.  Check out the details here.  The challenge closes on November 5th at 00:00 US Pacific Time.

24 August 2023

• Around 1200 LEX files have now been restored in modernized form (i.e., combined into organized packs for convenient download) here at SC4Evermore.  That number continues to grow, as we add more files at least a couple times throughout the week.
• The SC4D LEX Legacy BSC Common Dependencies Pack has been updated to Version 6, fixing a UI-related issue with BSC Essentials.  The Version 5 update previously added the SG Civics Education Models and the EU Flag Pack.
• The SC4D LEX Legacy - JBSimio Education Compilation has been released, containing School Pack Volumes 01-04, and the University of Clayhurst Starter and Expansion Packs.
• The Mattb325 LEX Legacy collections now encompass two packs of Residential BATs (Houses and Multi-Unit), two packs of Commercial BATs (standard and W2W), a massive Civics and Rewards pack, and standard and IRM versions for the pack of Industrial BATs.  The combined Lot count covers most of Mattb325's LEX output, though more of his content is still to come.  Dark Nite and Maxis Nite versions are available for each pack.
• By popular demand, the NAM's Park And Ride Traffic Simulator Plugins are available again, for the first time since the Traffic Simulator Configuration Tool (TSCT) was discontinued in 2022.  As the name suggests, the Park And Ride Plugins prevent the Car transit type from reaching its destination, thereby requiring Sims to park or use mass transit or active transit (walking) to reach the end of their commute.
• The massive back catalog of .SC4M format maps is available in one big file, courtesy of Ulisse Wolf, including the efforts of dobdriver/drunkapple and NHP stalwarts like blade2k5.
• In terms of new content, Ulisse Wolf's Fallout Prop Pack Vol 2 is now available.

9 August 2023

• The SC4D LEX Legacy BSC Common Dependencies Pack has been updated to Version 4, with the primary new additions being further prop packs from Mattb325.
• Some popularly-requested files have been added to SC4E Downloads, including a LEX Legacy Pack for Mattb325's Residential Multi-Unit BATs (containing 46 LEX files), available in Maxis Nite and Dark Nite versions.  The Mattb325 back catalog is a current priority, and more will be added in the coming days.
• We are still working to add other popular downloads, in carefully curated, streamlined forms with modernized packaging.  We thank everyone for their patience as we endeavor to provide the best SC4 custom content experience--one that will continue to get better and better in the coming weeks and months.

What is SC4Evermore, and what does it bring to the SC4 community?

SC4Evermore (or SC4E, if you prefer) was founded by long-time SC4 modder and siterunner Tarkus (Network Addon Mod).  It came about as a result of discussions with various active stakeholders in the community, about creating a stable platform through which SC4 custom content can be preserved and shared in an easier-to-access modern form, in the wake of the various software issues that eventually knocked down the LEX downloads section at SC4 Devotion.  Other recent cases of site closures, possible site closures, and instability have only emphasized the need for a solution.

The name itself is a tribute to two community figures, Maxis' Wren Weburg (of Wren Insurance fame), who formerly ran a site called SC4ever, and the "SC4, Forevermore!" catchphrase used by popular BATer DuskTrooper.  Symbolically, SC4E also happens to come directly after SC4D in alphabetical order.  The new name also emphasizes that the site is intended to be a true community effort, and we look forward to sharing more details on this end in the near future.

In addition to the downloads section, the fast-growing SC4 Devotion Discord server will be rebranded under the SC4Evermore name, and is in the process of being upgraded to a Community Server, which will add Forum Channel features and other new features.  SC4D's archived forums and wiki will remain at their original links, and will be accessible via the top menu bar, though note that they may be affected by some of the same technical issues that took down the LEX.  We are exploring the prospects of adding guides and/or a new wiki to SC4E, among other features.

All of the files available on SC4 Devotion's temporary frontpage have been transferred over to SC4E's new exchange, where they are available in a more orderly fashion.  We will continue to add more files to the site in the coming days, weeks, and months.

Thank you for your support, and we hope you find SC4Evermore to be a useful resource to further your enjoyment of SimCity 4!
