Do NOT use Simzip, filemaid or any other "sim-specific" zip program on this - they will corrupt these files.  Use Winzip at www.winzip.com (it's free) for best unzipping results.

If you get a crash or game freeze, try quiting the game, deleting the files and redownloading them.  99% of the time, that fixes any "corrupt file" issues caused by a your download (and 99% of the time, that's the reason for a crash).

GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:


Put the .far and .iff files (the object files) into this folder:
C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\Downloads 
OR if you're a frequent downloader at our site,
you can make a new folder called "Simslice" like this:
C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\Downloads\Simslice


Put all .flr files (the floor files a.k.a. your city roads) into this folder:
C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\GameData\Floors


You must have The Sims installed with the Livin' Large expansion pack (OR The Sims Deluxe) to use this properly (you don't need them both, since they both are pretty much the same expansion).

SLICE CITY GAME PLAY INFORMATION:
****************************************

Slice City - "the other city that never sleeps".  This city is awake and alive with hustle and bustle 24/7!  Citizens use businesses, homes, parks, etc. for work and play, and these all cost you money to maintain.  The happier the little people are in their habitat, the harder they will work, and the more profit you will make from them.  Well-maintained cities could also encourage more citizens to move in to live and work there, which expands your city size, it's population... and your profit margin.  Cities that are neglected or not well-maintained will cease growing, or slowly deteriorate until they are nothing but piles of rubble.  So keep all structures "refurbished" to maximize output.  If you need help with that, ask The Gardener. :)

The citizens also need power from the Power Plant to do any expanding.  The Power Plant started in the "ON" position, but you can "Power it down" (by clicking on it) to stop your city from growing any further, and to keep your daily profits/costs stabilized (good for those that like the small town feel).  "Power it up" again to allow for potential growth to resume (good for those that like the larger city life).  City costs and profits for you are calculated each midnight (between 11:55pm and 12:05am).  

IMPORTANT:  READ THIS!  Buy the Power Plant to start the Slice City game, and it does all the rest.  Keep only ONE Power Plant on the lot at all times.  No more than that, no less than that (that is VERY important).  If you put a bunch of them on your lot, do not contact us with any problems you have... that is the problem right there.  

If at some point you wish to get rid of your city, you can sell back the buildings as you would any object, then use the MOve_objects cheat (see below) to delete the Power Plant - if you do this, do ALL OF IT at the same time while the game is paused for best results. :)

***************************************

MOVE OBJECTS CHEAT:  Removing the Power Plant and/or citizens by force...

First, pause the game.  Then delete every city building and structure.  Then hold down Ctrl+Shift while you hit the "c" key.  This brings up the "cheat box", which will appear in the upper left corner of the screen.  Type in "move_objects on" and hit enter.  Then click on the Power Plant and hit the delete key.  Repeat the process for each group of citizens until all traces of the city are gone!  Then bring the cheat box back up, and type "move_objects off" and hit enter.  It's very important that you do that last step too.  Then play the game as usual.  For best removal results, all city elements must be removed at the same time, as described above.

***************************************

Slice City doesn't replace The Sims gameplay, in that The Sims game plays just as normally with or without it.  This is just an addon we hope will enhance your enjoyment of The Sims.  For more enjoyment with a different game, check out SimCity by Electronic Arts.

We hope you enjoy this download! :)
