I've spent weeks tracking down very frequent crashes, but it's allowed me to keep all my custom buildings, lots, and mods. It's important to note that SimCity 4 on Crossover is very particular about placement of plugin files. If you have another existing SimCity 4 documents folder that you want to use, copy the Plugins and Regions folders into the one the Windows installer created. If you already have one from the Mac version, it will use it, and on your first launch you should see your current region. The installer will create a SimCity 4 folder in your documents folder. Other flags such as "-intro:off" or "-w" don't always work. In this case it will enable a resolution of 1680x1050 at millions of colors (32 bit).

The installer may work with the actual first CD, but the installer has trouble recognizing the second one when it needs it. This is due to bugs in Apple's X11 implementation that causes OpenGL to fail in standalone versions of WINE and Darwine (and on the Mac nearly everything, including "software" rendering utilizes OpenGL at some level).
Note that SimCity 4 does not appear to work with the regular version of CrossOver, it only works with CrossOver Games.
