Mike's Props is a fan site for the SimCity 4 and SimCity 3000 Ultimate games developed by Maxis. This site features downloadable props and Automata (mostly cars) for those games. In order to guarantee that the SimCity 4 downloads work with your game, I recommend having the Rush hour expansion and all Maxis patches installed.

Sept.30, 2007 Another long-delayed update. Check on the progress of the 1960s era car replacement. New dealership Toyota. New for the Toyota dealerships use new prop families on the lots so there is not too much repetition and a ploppable dealership with jobs. |
|
February 22, 2007 Another long absence due to real life, sorry but it can't be helped sometimes. This is what I've spent the last 6 months working on (on and off). A Hyundai dealership. Preview them HERE. Download then HERE. I think you'll like them... |
|
August 01, 2006 The Citroen Dealerships are finally finished. I apologize for them being late and over budget...Previews can be seen here. The downloadable files are here. |
|
June 24, 2006 European traffic generator lot - this lot spawns european automata and requires the european car new instance mod to work. They can both be found on the MODS page |
|
May 26, 2006 Check on the progress of the 1960s car replacement mod HERE |
|
May 15, 2006 New Simutrans 1930s city cars. |
|
May 05, 2006 Sorry for the long time between updates. New Simutrans city cars and player vehicles |
|
December 20, 2005 I have finally finished the modification to Sim City 4 that replaces the default Maxis cars with Japanese models. These are mostly cars that you would not see in the U.S.. This mod is very similar to the European car replacement mod and you can find it here. Oh, Merry Christmas! |
|
November 26, 2005 Just letting everyone know that I'm still working on the Japanese car replacement mod. The automata are done. Now for the tedious part. Packaging all the files and making the family props, then packaging those files. Looks like the 2nd or 3rd week of December, give or take a week. |

November 18, 2005 Thanks to hurricane Wilma I have been a bit busy and preoccupied to do too much work on my projects. Wilma removed almost all of the shingles from my roof and much landscaping. We were also without power and phones for 7 days (cold showers are not fun). Now there is Tropical Storm Gamma out there! If I am lucky, there will be an update in a month. Removed the forum section. See you then. |

28, 2005 Spruced up the links area. Added a Simutrans download page that has some city cars. Added a forum as an experiment. Added some new Sim City 3000 props. You might notice that most of the Simutrans and new Sim City 3000 cars are Japanese models. That is because I have been working on a mod to replace the default cars in Sim City 4 with Japanese models. So, now I have plenty of those models lying around on my hard drive. More models of cars will be coming in time. Do you realize that this site has been up and running in one form or another since the beginning of 2001? A long time in the world of internet game fan sites. |
|
September 14, 2005 New SimCity 3000 props on the new SC3000 props page. Also added a Preview page. Added Renault Dealerships and Daihatsu Dealerships on the Sim City 4 lots/BATs page. |

August
5, 2005 Getting the site up and running. Hopefully, soon this will be working the way I want it to work. Go the the Mods page to get the European car replacement mod. |

Back to updating the site again. Freeservers must not allow .exe files any more. Therefore most of the downloads were giving users a 404 file not found error. I am not sure how long this has been going on because Freeservers did not give me any warning that they removed the .exe files. You may find some files are gone because my hard drive crashed some time ago and took many files with it. I am now using Frontpage to update my site, so hopefully it won't be a chore like it was before and therefore I'll update more often. Because this is the last surviving site on the Simland Express web ring the image and links were deleted. Please bear with me for the next week or so until I can get everything up and running again. |

In response to requests from some people at Simtropolis I have made a tutorial on how I make drivable SC4 cars. TUTORIAL. |
|
June 05, 2004 Over the last couple of years I have had people ask me if I can make cars that travel around the city instead of just props for your buildings. In the past I had to always tell them that it couldn't be done. Not anymore. Go here for your vehicles. They work just the same as all the other addons to the game, just put them in the plugins folder, start the game and watch the new vehicles cruise through town. These cars are also drivable in the you drive it mode. Please note that I have not found a way to import new 3D models into the game. These are some of the default models with new textures, so my options are limited as to which vehicles can be brought into the game. In time I may figure out how to import models, but I'm not there yet. |

April 03, 2004 Added a page for prop families . It contains some cars belonging to the ResSingleCars Building/Prop Family, low, medium and high wealth. It also contains car groups belonging to the ResCarClusters Building/Prop Family in low, medium and high wealth. To use these car props all you have to to is extract the files into the game's plugin directory and your good to go. You don't need to set these on a lot, the game takes care of everything. Next on my to-do list is finnish these Res car families and then start on some commercial car families. Have fun. |
| March 10, 2004 Another update. Taking you and your sims back in time. Check out the 24 new old car props and check out the building props page. They are only the props, not lots. Happy BAPing and I'll see you again soon. |
|
Feb. 26, 2004 Finally! We have the newest Sim City 4 B.A.T.. It took me a few weeks to iron out the kinks in the installation and then to figure out how things work with it, but now I must say that making props will now be a breeze compared to the last B.A.T. There are 25 new SC4 car props HERE. The building props button will not work because there are none at the moment. Happy Bapping and hopefully I will update in a couple weeks now that I have a new B.A.T. |

The "Newest SC3000 Props" link now works. There are now some new minis, new aclass, a new prowler, a new pt cruiser, an audi tt and some other new car props. The blurry picture in the middle above shows them. Still waiting for word on a SimCity 4 BAT, but looking forward to playing Rush Hour on Sept.22. |

Sept.7, 2003 Mike's Props is back and ready for the Simcity 4 architect tool if and when it is released. The link to contact me has been updated to my new email address. Many new Simcity 3000 Unlimited props are on the way while we wait for the SimCity 4 Architect tool. I am sorry for the lack of updates in the past year, but my harddrive died and took all the props I was working on with it. Some of the links are not up and running yet but will be soon. Check out my favorite site for SimCity 4 information and downloads simtropolis |

This is one thing I do to pay for this site. Freeservers is fairly
cheap, but not free. Click on the links to see some of my 3D stuff...Look
for products by Propermike. |
