How to Mod Buildings in "SimCity Societies"

"Sim City Societies" was an addition to the "Sim City" game series that was not created by Maxis, the original producer of the games. The game featured a greater emphasis on social engineering and was typically simpler than its "Sim City" counterparts. One of the features of the game was the ease of modding various buildings in the game. This was able to be done by a mere changing of a few files.

Instructions

1. Open the directory "\Data\XMLDB\Game\Objects\BUILDINGS."

2. Look for the file that has the name of the building you wish to modify.

3. Open the file in a word processing program such as Microsoft Word, Notepad or WordPad.

4. Change any of the variables and tags listed in the file to change the various aspects of the building. A few examples of things you can change are cost and ability.

Tips & Warnings

• Make backups of the files you are modifying in case you do not like your mods.
