Get it while you can.  It unlocks a bunch of stuff in CitiesXL.  Some of the stuff is bugged like the railroad amongst other things but it's a good addition to a poor game for those of us that have it.

* Relock buildings button in cheat menu
* Increased "expert mode" effect - it unlocks everything possible!
* Fully functional blueprints
* Omnicorps buildings
* Roundabouts
* Three types of carparks
* train network (trainstation, railroad, railroad bridge)
* gembeach hospital (preview of the future unlocker)

(probably I forgot something!)

hello

the trainstation is working . I use this mod in my citiesxl game
and it works great for me

[City Builder]

Thanks for the confirmation.  I think the problem with the train station was people trying to hook up multiple lines to the train station and some sort of missing parts.  I would guess if that was the case then it would be okay with the more simpler train lines maybe.  I had read reports that the train rail line couldn't be hooked up to the edge of the map to offer whatever it is that hooking up a road to the edge of the map provides.

But if it's working for you then I'm sure it will work for me too.  I only installed it this morning and have not had time to give it a go yet other than a brief 10 minute try out, the only problem that I experienced personally was the avatar editor, the X button to get out of the avatar editor doesn't seem to function and while the green Checkmark saves the avatar it also doesn't exit the avatar editor so the only way I could find to do it was to simply alt tab to desktop and kill the Citiesxl.exe application in task manager anytime that I wanted to mess with the avatar editor which wouldn't be too often since I really dislike the way that the avatars look in the editor.  Too strange for me.

Give me a good old Dwarf or Elven avatar anyday of the week

Version 3 of Globexco's Unlocker mod is available (has been for a while now I guess, I only found out a couple days ago).  Very nice and looking more and more polished with each version.  The best addition to the mod IMO, is it finally adds a 'save' game button to the options panel, so that we don't have to go 'back' to auto save, we can now save as we choose!

October 2009: After the release of my first mod, I've been contacted and "enlightened" by Moaku...
November 2009: When Monte Cristo banned unpacked mods, a "black period" started for modding. Some mods were released, at CitiesXs... but most of the experts
disappeared in few months.
June 2010: First RePacker tool released, modding starts again! First release of the Unlocker Mod. For buyable content reason, the second version is out in three
weeks. Kiwispanker releases a quick fix too.
July 2010: Simtropolis contacts Focus... The unlocker mod is officially approved.
August 2010: Third release of the Unlocker Mod

Should I assume the second line "install the Moaku sandbox mod " doesn't have to be, cause I get a dead link for it.

[City Builder]

No, it's still necessary.  The problem is with their site and they tried to create a new site and it doesn't seem like anybody updated the links, here is the correct link to download Moaku Sandbox mod:
http://www.citiesxs.net/uploads/gi4_mod_moaku_sandbox.patch

Anytime you try to download a mod from the citiesxs.de web site you have to change .de to .net to make the download work.

[TomNobles]

I've been running without it. Looked at a few things and noticed quite a few new buildings. Just downloaded the gi4_mod_moaku_sandbox.patch and dropped it in the paks folder. Thanks for the link.

[chalako]

I tryed to install the unlocker but i get a window with an errror.

Error opening file for opening  c:\Program Files\citiesXL\paks\z_globexco_Unlocker_base_v3_patch.

I dropped  the moaku_sandbox. patch in the paks folder before that. Do i have to install that ( that dos'nt work, it says , can't find the right program) or just drop in in the paks folder?

[TomNobles]

I think I did it backwards because I couldn,t find the moku_sandbox.patch but I put it in the paks folder. Look for a file name "UnlockerMod_v3" listed as Application and double click it to install the sandbox unlocker.
