Many people on this forum will probably remember the "Super Demand Ordinances" Mod. I don't know if it was just on my end, but I had a number of problems with that mod, so I decided to make my own.

What I did was take the main "SimCity_1.dat" and find the exemplars controlling demand, edit those, and export that to a separate .dat, all with "SC4Tool" - I had not found iLive reader at that time. Ergo, I have a set of .dat files that can either maximize - set to 6000, or suppress - set to 0, demand for R$, R$$, R$$$, Cs$, Cs$$, Cs$$$, Co$$, Co$$$, I-Ag, I-D, I-M, and I-HT individually. In addition, there are a few other files to mask other exemplars, such as "max total demand" allowed. It's a bit complex to use - I did include a readme - but it works wonderfully. It stomps over demand caps, ignores occupancy availability and growth speed - though desirability is still important - and ensures maximal growth of a city, in your preferred direction. With this mod, I've seen cities - even with only R$$$, Cs$$$, Co$$$, and I-HT - exceed the population of my entire country, and Canada is currently home for 33.74 million people.

I completed this set over a year ago, but I haven't been able to figure out how to post "pure" mods (no building, no lot, no .sc4desc, just a .dat) on either the STEX or the LEX. Therefore, I posted it - and two other, lesser mods - here, on the SC4 branch of my multi-game mod site:

I have two questions:
1. How did I do?
2. Is there a way to get them onto the STEX, LEX, or both?

RadicalOne, I haven't got a clue on how to upload mods at the STEX, but if you want upload your mod on the LEX you should take a look at this:
