How to Build a Region in SimCity

Unlike past "SimCity" games, "SimCity 4" allows you to not only create a city, but to create a region as well. A region can house multiple towns that are interconnected, allowing them to share resources with one another. However, a region's space is finite and, once that space is filled, no more towns can be added and a new region must be created. You can build a new region from the "SimCity 4" main menu at any time you are not managing a city.

Instructions

- 1
  Launch "SimCity 4."
- 2
  Click the "Region View Options" icon at the top left corner of the screen. This icon is a picture of a grid and displays "Region View Options" when the mouse cursor is placed on it.
- 3
  Click the "Create New Region" icon. This icon is of two squares on top of one another that displays "Create New Region" when the mouse cursor is placed on it.
- 4
  Type a name for your region in the blank "Region Name" field.
- 5
  Select either "Plains" or "Water." Whichever option is selected designates the majority of the terrain in the region.
- 6
  Click "Create Region." Your new region is created and you can begin building cities on it immediately.
