The Model ID <mGEN> is the first 2 bytes of the Instance ID of models and textures. The Group ID <GEN> is the custom GID for the models, textures, exemplars, xml's and pictures created on that particular computer. Its purpose is to add yet another random factor to building design so that buildings don't conflict (due to the fact that the TGI's follow standard naming). The <GEN> is designated using the following method: a huge random number over 2^29 DWORD is overlayed with a bit flag by a DWORD of timestamp starting around 1997 (the time EA bought Maxis). The generated Model ID <mGEN> is an incremental number that represents the building Family ID. It starts at 0001. | |

This is a list of all SimCity 4 Group IDs (GID) and the formats of their respective Instance IDs (IID) for each Group. To find a specific file type or Group ID, do a find inside this page and it should turn up unless it is a Group ID that is still unknown, or comes from a custom Lot or BAT. The reason custom Lots and BATs will not show up here is that the programs used to create these files generate custom Group ID's that are unique to the computer that generated the file, and uses this GID for these items. Consequently, there are as many Group ID's for Lots and BATs as there are content creators, and it would be impractical to list them here. However, those file types that support custom Group ID's will have an entry on this page indicating which custom GID they use. For information about these custom GID's, see the <GEN> and <mGEN> entries at the end of the page.
Contents
Format for GID/IID Entries
File Type
<GID> - <Group Name>
<instance in format 0xAABBBfCD>
AA=blah
BB=blah
C=blah
D=blah
- Characters in the range of A-H are used to show variables that any IID fills. For example, AA for a given IID may be f3,a3,01,00, or any other 2 characters, and so forth.
- A Lowercase letter or a number shows something that doesn't change.
- Some IIDs have a value of 12345678. These predate the use of IID specs by Maxis, and are just placeholders. An Exemplar may have an IID of 00000005. This is a test ID used for automata or Sims. It can also be used for other things however.

<gen> - Computer specific Lot Description XML file
0xAAAAAAAA
A = Same as applicable parent file for each of .SC4model, Lot, Desc
For example, model = main S3D, Lot = main exemplar, Desc = main exemplar
<GEN> and <mGEN>
<GEN> and <mGEN> are generated ID's that are specific and unique to a computer and are designated at the time that particular modding tools are installed. The Model ID <mGEN> is the first 2 bytes of the Instance ID of models and textures. The Group ID <GEN> is the custom GID for the models, textures, exemplars, xml's and pictures created on that particular computer. Its purpose is to add yet another random factor to building design so that buildings don't conflict (due to the fact that the TGI's follow standard naming). The <GEN> is designated using the following method: a huge random number over 2^29 DWORD is overlayed with a bit flag by a DWORD of timestamp starting around 1997 (the time EA bought Maxis). The generated Model ID <mGEN> is an incremental number that represents the building Family ID. It starts at 0001.
A note on 1 character Family, "Even" or Group IDs as seen in various instances. These appear to be used some times specifically, however they go from 0 to E and often appear randomly chosen as a way to vary the instances more.
