Skulls do not carry over into a new game so the player will either have to place them before they leave the island or pick them up again later. However, the skulls will carry over from single-player into co-op and vice versa, and even if another person picks them up the player can use them. It may also be possible that if the player joins a person that has a skull placed, they may not need to have the skull at all and can just grab the mod. This may be easier to achieve if the skull was placed in the same session. Orange Skull: Act II. It is under the first set of stairs inside a shopping cart in the supermarket. Green Skull: Act I. The skull is on a rock hill, it is located east of the City Tunnel Gas Station (Use the pointer on your minimap as a south facing guide).
There will be a metal chest and the skull will be in an open toolbox. Purple Skull: Sewers in Act II. It is located on the second level accessed by ladder in the dead end; to get to the ladder the Hero must go through the right door instead of the left door (the door that doesn't lead to next objective right after killing the first Floater). It takes a bit of trekking but once the player's in the room with the three radiation barrels knocked over with a ladder, they're in the right room. They might be able to see a faint glow from the candlesticks around the skull on the second floor in a corner from the first floor depending on where they're standing at in the room. *Alternately, once all sewers are open in Moresby, the player can simply enter the sewer via the entrance in front of the police station and go through the first gate to access the skull room. Blue Skull: Act II. During the quest "Uninvited Guests", there is a bathroom opposite the kitchen. The Blue Skull is in one of the corners in a glass case.
The Hero must first smash the case in order to be able to retrieve the skull. Brown Skull: Act I. The player has to use the portal in Bunker 02, kill the Suicider in the room, and then search the floor. Orange Skull Altar: Act II. It's in the Sewers, at the top of one of the largest rooms in the sewer between the City Hall and Supermarket. There will be water and flood gates, and then a ladder that goes up to a small platform with a door. When the player climbs the ladder, the door will be on their right and directly in front of them will be a zombie sitting against the wall near a propane tank. The altar is inside the room on the left. Green Skull Altar: Act II, in the Supermarket. This altar is in an area directly to the right upon entering main market. There are shelves full of teddy bears, and one of these shelves is the altar. Purple Skull Altar: Act II, during the quest Uninvited Guests. One of the burners is lit in the kitchen — this is the altar. Blue Skull Altar: Act I. Bunker 06 in the Resort area will be surrounded by zombies, with a single survivor, Jose Garcia, to rescue.
Once he is rescued, the player should travel through the manhole in the bunker to the other area of it. There is a metal door on the level, and propane tanks on the level above. The player must place the tank next to the door and shoot it to blow it open. The altar is on the wall underneath the big blue arrow. Brown Skull Altar: The place is shown on the picture. The easiest way to reach the location is to go into the bungalow district near the altar. At the back of the a bungalow near the powerhouse at the Silver Bungalows district is a cliff drop that heads towards the marked spot. When the player reaches the tree, they should carefully move around the bushes and onto the rocks and then follow the rocks until they start to see greenery. The altar is tucked away in an indent there, near a flag. Orange Skull: Developer's No. 1 craft "electrobody". Green Skull: Developer's No. 2 craft "cr33zz revange for endless crunch". Blue Skull: Developer's No. 3 craft "plaguebearer".
Purple Skull: Developer's No. 4 craft "just mindblowing craft by simon!". Brown Skull: Developer's 666 craft "beware the power of glova". In this quest, the player needs to recover four Red Skulls for Mongina. The skulls can be found in the Ghost Village. This quest needs to be activated before the player meets up with Mowen, otherwise Mongina won't be able to talk to them.Electronic Arts doesn’t exactly have the best track record with gamers. But a new SimCity mod shows that in one controversial case, EA might have the right of things. When it launched last year, SimCity was fraught with disaster. At the core of the problem was the game’s online-only requirement. Not only did it enrage players that felt an Internet connection shouldn’t be necessary to play the game’s single-player mode, it resulted in crippling server instability, locking pretty much everyone—single-player or not—out of the game entirely when it launched. EA and developer Maxis claimed that playing the game offline was “impossible,” at least at launch, and later spent more than six months developing that very feature.
But another large issue many players had with the game—another thing EA said it wouldn’t or couldn’t change—was the maximum size players’ cities were limited to. “City sizes have been a constant point of conversation among our players since we released the game,” Maxis Emeryville General Manager Patrick Buechner said in a blog post last year. “The game’s original design focused on the density of an intimate urban environment. It was about intercity connectivity and the challenge of managing a region of cities instead of one metropolis in isolation. However, we recognize that many players have expressed the desire to build up one big city rather than manage the interrelationship of multiple smaller cities.” Buechner said that after months of testing, the company had no plans to implement larger city sizes, citing performance issues as the primary limitation. “The system performance challenges we encountered would mean that the vast majority of our players wouldn’t be able to load, much less play with bigger cities,” he said.
Never to be told what they couldn’t do, modders took matters into their own hands: Project Orion mods the game so that cities may extend over significantly larger areas than originally limited. However, the mod may have inadvertently proven EA right on this issue. Making the cities larger generates a swath of performance problems and weird bugs. As demonstrated in the above video, actual performance varies depending on the power of the machine running the modded software. But even taking that into account, a slew of issues crop up, such as property values and pollution levels being displayed incorrectly, and roads and zoning not functioning properly outside of the original city limits. In other words, yes, SimCity can be modded to allow cities larger than originally restricted, but not in a way you’d really want to play anyway. In doing so, the game becomes a weird, buggy shell of its former self at best, and unplayable at worst. Perhaps EA should have designed SimCity in the first place to handle cities on the scale of the ones you were able to construct in its predecessors.
