Well the .reia file is just a recorded video of the scripted flythrough. As Nepheris said, if you move that file, you are merely associating the video file with another neighborhood. Where the flythrough data is kept, I have no idea. It seems it's tied to certain neighborhood names. Calling any neighborhood (even existing ones) Pleasantview, Strangetown, Veronaville, Riverblossom Hills, Desiderata Valley, Belladonna Cove, Sedona, Europa or Lakeview will create their own individual flythroughs (the last one is very glitchy though). Apparently some other names create one as well, but they appear to be inconsistent.
This is interesting information, I may have to attempt to make a Sedona, Europa and a Lakeview to see these flyovers. I wonder if they were at one time intended for extra base neighborhoods or perhaps foreign game releases, or if they planned on making one for each terrain then decided to link them to the neighborhood name (probably for ease sake). Either way, looks like an idea EAxis abandoned in earlier development.

No. The discussion is about which names get you the 'hood flyover.

Uh, allow me to ask a stupid question. Is everyone supposed to have those? I don't have a Lakeview or Europa in my create-a-neighborhood screen. Do Canucks not get those two or is my installation borked?
Nah, you don't have Sedona, Europa and Lakeview as standard hoods. They're probably names EAxis fiddled around with pre-release. (I know that if you open up Veronaville in SimCity4, it's called 'Europe', and Lakeview sounds like it could've been a name they were toying with for Pleasantview)
The names still work though, I've tried it out with a neighborhood of mine. Renaming it each time gave distinctly different flyovers.

Has anyone tried Riverside (original planned Sims 2 hood.) I bet it has a flyby.
Quinctia:
I recognize Sedona as one of the terrains available to you if you go to make a custom neighborhood. I'm wondering if they wanted to tie flyovers to terrains, which makes a bit of sense, as they can be different elevations and sizes, but they didn't want to expend the effort necessary to have the game autogenerate this stuff for custom hoods in the end?
It's kind of a shame, because I'd love to get this sort of thing working for custom hoods I've spent a lot of time on. I do like seeing the camera fly over the Veronaville that my one legacy family has completely taken over at this point.
