Download the region or map and unzip it if it is zipped. Usually, you'll see a JPEG and a bitmap file. Locate the My Documents/SimCity/Regions folder on your computer and copy the downloaded, unzipped files into the folder or create a folder inside the Regions folder with the same name as the new region and copy the files into that new folder. Open the 'SimCity4' game.

Hey everyone,
I just started playing this game after about 10 years and have fallen in love with it all over again. However, I'm getting bored with the preloaded regions and am wondering if there is a good place online to download some cool realistic looking regions and how to get them to the actual game. It can be completely user made maps, or maps mirroring actual regions and cities.
Additional question: I think I inadvertently deleted some of the pre-loaded regions from the game, so if anyone knows how to get them back, that'd also be helpful.
