Different setup logos

As far as I know the setup screens, splash screens and load screens are identical, with the exception of the image size (the splashes are smallest while there is a loadscreen available in 1024x768 if I am remembering correctly) Does anyone know better? -- LeoGruen (Talk) 00:58, 23 October 2015 (EDT)

1.0 Version?

How would one know if they have a 1.0 version of the game? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sindle (talk) • (contribs)

They'd check the registry entry by using regedit on Windows machines. -Blayer98

You can also try the rosebud cheat. If it does not work you have version 1.0. -- LeoGruen (Talk) 16:27, 24 October 2015 (EDT)

Use, Use, Use!

I realized that I have been fuzzy with my use of use. I have been using the definition that an official (Maxis) object must actually run the primitive in a Tree. There's some "unused" ones that are in BHAVs but the game will never, under any circumstance actually run them-- either because that node is never called or because the condition pointing to it will never happen-- thus they are never used. -- LeoGruen (Talk) 16:37, 24 October 2015 (EDT)

Easter Egg

There is an easter egg where if a household reaches 100 in-game days played, you'll recieve a pop-up letting you opt-in to getting an info pop-up about one of the game's developers every in-game day over the next 26 days. Would this be worth documenting? -TheKins (talk) 23:56, 4 December 2015 (EST)

Localization differences

Honestly it should probably be added as it's own section, but I don't have the game files available so i can't check right now. As far I remember the main two differences between US and non-US versions is the neighborhood screens (including the subneighborhoods such as downtown) where the US style roads are replaced with a more generic asphalt. This is already covered in the article. The other thing is the music for the neighborhood screens, where the US and non-US versions uses a different music tracks for the neighborhood screens. nhood1.mp3, nhood2.mp3 and nhood3.mp3 wind up being unused in the non-US versions where it uses the latin tracks for some reason. Why those changes were done is beyond me, as rest of the game is very 'american' in style otherwise, just like how most Maxis games were (like how Simcity 2000 only had raised highways).
