SimCity is back on the top! Adrenaline Vault reports that SimCity 4 surpassed the Sims Deluxe & The Sims: Unleashed from January 12 to 18 in sales.

We have added the first two user regions by IonWind on our Regions page. We will soon be bundling the SimGlobal maps and config files into zips to make for easier downloads.

We want your regions! Send the image files and config files to globalfiles@simglobal.net. Please do not send us the entire region folder with the already generated cities, as this folder is usually larger than 15mb, although we would like your individual city files. Make sure to include your name, the region/city name as well as a short description.

SimCity.com has just put up the first official download available for SimCity 4, at the Get Cool Stuff section. This new download is the Globe Arena from Stockholm, Sweden, the largest spherical building in the world. Also available is the SimCity 4 advertisment that can be seen on many televison networks.

SimGlobal just got its first regions up, based on the Knowledge Tree Article at SC4Ever.com. These new terrains are all custom made, official SimGlobal terrains. Feel free to submit your own terrains and/or cities to globalfiles@simglobal.net. Also up, cheats for SimCity 4. Enjoy!

With SC4Ever's comprehensive guide to creating regions, you can hope to see some maps on SimGlobal.net pretty soon. If you have any maps, cities (you can find your cities in My Documents\SimCity 4\Name of Region), or cool screenshots you would like to submit, please send them on over to globalfiles@simglobal.net

SimCity.com has been updated, in light of the recent release of SimCity 4. There is a new design with new features... the works! Currently, the site seems to be under a heavy load of visitors, and it takes quite a while for things to load. Its also very image-intensive, so you 56k-ers may have a wait in front of you. However, the improved site contains useful information that makes it worth the time.

For those of you on the Eastern seaboard, SimCity 4 has arrived. Over the next week or so we hope to get a page up so that you may model some of your city creations. Thanks to everyone who has follewed the coverage of SimCity 4 from day 1, March 25, 2002, here at your Sim news source, SimGlobal.

Yes, we now have addded 20 new post-release screenshots, taken by yours truly, SimGlobal. Check them out here. These shots are all unique, and never before seen. If you would like to use any of these screenshots for your site, you can send us an email, and we will work out the details. Also, send us requests of screenshots that you would like to see.

We also hope to soon have a couple of gameplay videos up. Those of you out there lucky enough to have SimCity 4, please send us cities!

It seems as though on EBGames.com the shipping has once more been moved back to the original date. However, SimGlobal was able to acquire its copy. We will get some screenshots up hopefully tonight on the screenshots page.

SimCity is now shipping! Yep, thats right! Those who preordered from EBGames.com with overnight shipping will be getting it first. Over the next week we hope to get some of your first cities up, so send them to globalfiles@simglobal.net!-Thanks for the tip by Mike!
