This article contains a list of all the relations of the SimCity 4 file types as currently known. This will exclude the Savegame formats as their parents are the .exe, and their children are any number of files that it decides to pull in as it wants to: building exemplars for the building file and so forth. This article shows the parents of each file, namely, the file which is responsible for the file type opening, and the children, which are things it causes to open.

Entry Format

File Type 

<GID> - <Group Name>
        0xAAAABBBB (optional) - For Group IDs with multiple section types, the format for that group type  
        Children - Things loaded as a result of this file.
           Relations (name, kind, property ID if available)
        Parent - Things that caused this file to be loaded
           Relations (name, kind, property ID if available)
        Dependent - (optional) - Dependent relations. A file contains details that are carried out by another file
           Relations (name, kind, property ID if available)

To show different variations of Instances inside a Group ID that may have different children and parents, instance format codes like used in the InstanceFormats spec may be seen in the usual 0xAAAABBBB type format.

The 'kind' part of a relation may be dropped if the file is being called by the .exe in order for a full description. No Relations of either parent or child type are marked by a NONE designation. Filetypes for which all relations are not marked are listed at the end of the document.

This document may not be complete. Things may be assumed to be complete until shown otherwise, for which corrections would then be made to whatever part is missing data.
