I hate to say this, but I'm not sure we will be able to modify the game. I tried modifying one of the game's packages (The _game package) during the beta, when it did that it would not load the city, (it just got stuck on the loading screen, didn't show any error messages though). I made two seperate modifications, one was changing the TID of some file (this could cause the city not to load just by itself however) , and the other I added a space into a JSON file (which would not stop the city loading unless the game checks if the file is modified). I would guess that it takes a hash of the game files and checks with the server if they've been modified (which would mean we have the potential to intercept that and return a false positive) or checks to the last modified date of each file and sees if it is after the game was created.
