An assortment of tree controllers for the CPT terrain mod series god-mode trees.

¡¡¡Read the readme before installing or using these!!!

You must have the following two files in your plugins folder (preferably "Program FilesMaxisSimCity 4Plugins") before using any of these controllers (or your game will crash).

CPT_No8_TreeModelsPartOne.dat
CPT_No9_TreeModelsPartTwo.dat

The CPT trees will not show up in the game witout placing one and ONLY ONE of these tree controllers in your "Program FilesMaxisSimCity 4Plugins" folder.

This is one of the series of new water texture mods that replace the game's default water textures. These mods use a process similar to that which is used by the newer rock mods to create a more photo-realistic appearance for the game's water.

This mod does not alter any of the game's default terrain properties. It simply combines a mixture of reduced scale and luminance for each subsequently lower zoom level that results in a highly realistic looki8ng water texture.

The Brigantine texture is highly universal with a modest surface texture and a very common greenish-blue color that is suitable in almost any climate or region. It closely emulates the color and texture of most large bodies of water. It is fairly translucent in the shallows yet quickly turns opaque as the water gets deeper. This was the texture that ended the series as we feel we just weren't going to find one better than this.

Each mod contains new texture files that overwrite the game's default water surface textures. You can return to using the default textures at any time by simply removing the DAT file from your Plugins folder.

The Clipper texture is a slightly darker version of the Windjammer texture with a notably more pronounced surface texture. Its a tad less translucent in the shallows and becomes quite dark in deeper water. This texture works well for open ocean areas, large harbors and wide rivers.

The Windjammer features a more pronounced surface texture and a darker blue color making it suitable for many different climates and regions.. It looks good with both shallow and deep water, is fairly translucent in the shallows... and becomes notably darker in deeper water.

The Crystal Lagoon texture is actually adapted from modeling textures intended for swimming pools. It looks good with both shallow and deep water and is certainly more suitable for a tropical region.

The Hawaiian Holiday features a subtle surface texture and is a fairly bright in color that resembles the water found in tropical areas like Hawaii, the Caribbean and the Med. It looks good with both shallow and deep water, is fairly translucent in the shallows... turning to a darker bright blue in deeper areas.

This mod will add the PEG Pine Trees to your Mayor Mode Tree Menu. Now you can plop the PEG Pines one at a time or in bunches... anywhere you want.

The PEG Pines will act like any other Mayor-Mode tree except they plop fully grown. You won't have to wait for them to grow. And like the other Mayor-Mode trees, they are §3 a pop to plop.

This mod does not replace any other flora in the game nor does it interfere or conflict with any other mod. If you uninstall the mod after plopping PEG Pines in your cities, the trees will simply disappear. If you decide to manually remove the trees, they can be bulldozed at no cost.

The mod will add 4 new tree types and icons to your Mayor Mode Tree/Flora Menu; Short Pine, Medium Pine, Tall & Very Tall Pine. Like the default trees, after selecting the tree type, just click once for a single tree or drag the mouse for a bunch of them. The tree's orientation randomly rotates as they are plopped for a more natural & varied appearance.

Requires the PEG Mountain Development Pack to be installed.

This mod will convert the GOD Mode trees in the game to PEG Pine Trees. Now you can mass plop the PEG Pines all over your city when creating the initial city maps or anytime later during the game.

God Mode flora/trees are divided into 3 different stages based on altitude. By default, the lower elevation trees are oaks, the middle level are pines, and the higher elevation is scrub brush. This package actually contains two mods; 1 that replaces the lower elevation oaks with the PEG Pines... and a second mod that replaces the middle level default pines with the PEG Pines.

You can use the two mods together to replace all God Mode trees with PEG Pines... or you can use either one separately to replace only a single elevation type default tree... either the oaks or the default pines.

I suspect that this mod may spawn many more similar mods from a variety of developers. I hope this mod will set the format standard of using separate mods for each elevation level (Lower, Middle and Upper). This will allow the player the greatest choice in selecting what types of trees to use, and will ensure that the various mods are compatible with each other.

This is one of the newer series of Rock Mods that use an improved development process and are more photo-realistic. As with the original Rock Mods, you now can choose a rock terrain that is more appropriate for your region. Transform the appearance of your entire region with the simple install of a single DAT file.

This install contains the single Mossy Granite rock style which can be used as almost any type of gray colored igneous rock. The bits of moss would make it more suitable for moist climates. This style will be installed in a separate folder in your Plugins folder by default. I suggest that you simply drag that folder to your desktop or some other location and then drag the .DAT file back into your Plugins folder while you sample it.

REMEMBER... Only one style can be installed at a time... including any style installed from a previous Rock Mod pack.

Each mod contains new texture files that overwrite the game's default rock textures. You can return to using the default textures at any time by simply removing the DAT file from your Plugins folder.

* Some textures work better with smoother terrain while others are better for terrain with more jagged & sharper edges. Also, some look best when zoomed-in while others appear more natural when zoomed out. You will want to experiment and decide which style is best for you and the way you play your game.

Tired of those old & clunky looking cop cars? What bad 1950s movie did they find those in? Well that's all about to change with the new PEG Police Car Replacement Modd.

This pack offers you a choice of 10 new modern police car styles that replace the game's automata as well all the props around the police stations. Its all automatic... just install the style of your choice and all the police cars in the game change to that style. There's even a new static prop in each style thrown in for the use of developers who want a cop on-lot 24/7.

The available styles include:

* 4 styles of Black & White units with varied markings:
- Star on doors.
- Municipal seal on doors.
- Sheriff's Unit.
- SimCop's police cruiser... dedicated to Officer SimCop who is the TopCop in our books... and a major contributing factor for the success of the KrispyKremes franchise.

* 5 styles of all White units with varied markings:
- Standard ' POLICE ' cruiser.
- White w/ Blue stripe.
- White w/ Orange stripe.
- NYPD
- St. Lucie County Sheriff's Department in Florida. Dedicated to Deputy Dan1083 who is serving with pride through thick & thin... not to mention several hurricanes.

* The official S.C.P.D. police cruiser... a "powerfully" blue & white unit that stands out and lets your Sims know that SimCity's finest is on the job.

The PEG Refuse Relocation Kit contains 2 new garbage truck BAT models for use on your lots. These are not static props. They are designed to simulate normal trash pick-up activity by randomly appearing for a short period only.

Although our trash is normally picked up only once or twice a week, these trucks will show up every day. They will also remain visible for 4 hours. This may not be totally realistic but it works better visually in the game.

Also... This kit contains 4 new 'Skin' DATs that players can use to change the color of the garbage truck automata in the game. The install will put all four in your Plugins folder but only one can be used at a time. You will want to manually remove the 3 Skin DAT files you do not wish to use.

New with Version 206: The game's default Recycling Truck automata has been updated to use the new green garbage truck. The automata skins have all been updated to include the recycling logo as a standard Sanitation Dept. logo.

** Be sure to read the attached README file for full details on how to use these mods.

Pathed by Redlotus; modelled by Fosterk, Decius, DuskTrooper, and N74704.

A fully-functioning network-enabled plop allows the connection of railroad tracks at the top of the ramp descending down to a connection to the subway network at the bottom is now a possibility! Trains visually descend into the 'pit' thanks to Redlotus' pathing for the lot. (thanks!) I happened to have stumbled upon the fact that referencing non-existant base textures in the game results in a 'see-through' effect, just what was needed for this lot and its LODs to work 100% correctly.

Note: Like the Maxis network transition (el-train-to-subway), this lot has a minor 'bug' that is visual only. When plopping items around the lot, sometimes the ground texture of SC4 will 'cut through' the lot. The easiest way to fix it is to go into sub-terranean view then quickly return to surface view. It should look normal now.

LOT DETAILS
Menu: Subways and Misc. Transit
Lot Size: 3x1
Plop Cost: §1,200
Monthly Cost: §70
Electricity Consumed: 100
Transit Fare Income per Passing Train: §0
Effectual Capacity: 20,000 (about 833 passengers/hour)

The lot works by converting passenger rail to basically nothing as they enter the lot, then converted to subway traffic at the bottom. However, the trains continue to visually journey down into the tunnel, and thanks to the custom pathing, at the end, they drop straight down (only seen in UDI mode). This way an entire train can go underground before it disappears. No passenger trains are driving on the subways, or the other way around; that would make no sense. Thus, custom pathing of "el-train-to-passenger rail" or "monorail-to-passenger rail" is improbable (you can't have one network's cars on another network!).

The Ultimate Budget Contol menu is a tool that will be activated in your news ticker menu when you Query any of the ploppable lots. (note that the growables do not have the bank mod)

With this Menu comes a new functionality to SC4: the ability to transfer funds from one city to another. In order for this to work, simply withdraw money in one city and deposit it in another. This requires the Honor system as deposits are not inmediatly made in other cities, so obviously you can use it to cheat.

full functionality includes:
*deposit/withdraw 5.000 up to 50.000.000
*reset budget to 100.000/200.000/500.000 or 50.000.000
*undo budget 3 months / 6 months / one year (note that budget undo will reset to the value of the budget trendline x months ago. To check how much your budget will be undone, simply look at your budget trendline and count back the months)

Description:

** Re-released in honor of the Memorial Day holiday...

No Memorial Park can be complete without a Veteran's Memorial. This add-on pack contains 2 versions of the same memorial... the standard version and a Transit Enabled version. Both versions are visually identical.

This kit includes custom textures, custom query & sound effect... and a new custom translucent query window. The flag requires the PEG 'One Flag-Many Nations' modd in order to fly the flag of your own nation or preference. Without that mod, no flag will be shown.

The standard version is suitable for placement inside existing memorial parks. It already includes the non-functional Scenic Drive road and parking area.

The Transit Enabled version is suitable for placement as a stand alone memorial park. It must be connected to a functional street/road/avenue. Without this access, vehicles, most notably hearses, will spawn on it and have no way out. In testing I literally had about 20 hearses jammed on to it and they all just sat there, honking at each other. I finally had to bulldoze a path and connecting road to give them a way out. So don't place this version in mid-park without road access.

The Transit Enabled version is designed to convert incoming vehicle traffic to pedestrian traffic and visa versa. This should accurately simulate visitors driving to the memorial, parking, and eventually getting back in their cars and driving off.


Dependencies:

1. PEG One Flag-Many Nations modd (optional - required to display the flag)


The kit contains the following:

1. PEG_Veterans-Memorial_105.dat (§8,000/§0)
* The standard version. Designed for use within an existing memorial park. Functions as a standard cemetery reward.

2. PEG_Veterans-Memorial-TE_105.dat (§8,000/§0)
* The Transit Enabled version. Intended for use as a stand-alone memorial park. As noted above, it must be connected to a functional street/road/avenue.

Description:

** Re-released by Request.

The Scenic Drive Kit allows you to add yet another realistic touch to your parks and recreational areas. These asphalt sections are ideal for creating large drive-through type parks or adding simulated auto access to any areas of your city where it would be appropriate.

These are not traffic/transit enabled lots. Because two such lots can not be connected, that option is not feasible at this time. This kit was originally designed for the upcoming requested memorial park kit (aka.. The Drop N' Plop Boneyard). However, I opted to make them non-'boneyard specific' so they can be used almost anywhere.

Being 'road-like' in nature, the sections of this kit will be accessible from your Misc. Transportation menu. Your Parks menu gets a break on this one.


** These lots are 'Slope Conforming and can be placed almost anywhere.

** This kit is compatible with all versions of SC4.

** This kit has no dependencies... other than the game itself.


The kit contains the following:


1. A 1x1 tile Scenic Drive section. (§20/§1)
* The standard straight piece.

2. A 1x1 tile Scenic Drive Corner section . (§20/§1)
* A curve or turn section.

3. A 1x1 tile Scenic Drive Tee section . (§20/§1)
* A Tee section for 3-way intersections.

4. A 1x1 tile Scenic Drive 4-way section . (§20/§1)
* A 4-way section for intersections.

5. A 1x1 tile Scenic Drive Parking Lot section . (§20/§2)
* A straight section with parking areas on both sides.

6. A 1x1 tile Scenic Drive Side Parking Lot section . (§20/§2)
* A straight section with a parking area on only one side.

7. A 1x1 tile Scenic Drive End Parking Lot section . (§20/§2)
* Like a cul-de-sac, but square with parking.

Description:

** Re-released by request.

The Drop N' Plop Boneyard is now a reality. This kit includes 7 new lots that will allow you to assemble your own Memorial Park. When used with the Scenic Drive Kit, you can construct massive, sprawling memorial parks... or use the pieces individually for small and intimate boneyards wherever you like. "Bring Out Your Dead"... they've got a new home.



** This kit uses props from the bldgprop_vol1.dat and the Vehicle_Props-V3.dat. However, the required elements have been removed and added to the kit so there are no outside dependencies... other than the game itself.

** Be sure to look for the brain-eating Zombies who get up to stretch their legs every October.


The kit contains the following:

1. A 4x3 Memorial Park Entrance & Mortuary. (§12,000/§0)
* This is a true Reward Lot and is located in your Rewards menu. It provides all the benefits of a Cemetary Reward and also provides jobs for your entire memorial park. This is the "Key" lot that you will build your large memorial parks around. This lot should be placed on level ground.

** Includes custom query and sound effect.


2. A 1x1 Memorial Park Wall section. (§50/§2)
* Use this lot to creat a wall around your Memorial Park. It includes the classic cemetary wall section and some basic tombstones. Ideal for keeping grave robbers out... and brain eatting zombies in. This lot must be placed on level ground.

** Suggestion: To build Memorial Parks on hillsides, consider using slope conforming trail parks or the Random Forest to edge your park.


3. A 1x1 Memorial Park Corner Wall section. (§50/§2)
* Similar to the straight wall section but designed for corners.

** 'Inside' corners can be formed using 2 straight wall sections.


4. A 1x1 Tombstone section. (§75/§5)
* A nice variety of tombstones graced by a few trees. This lot is slope conforming and can be used on hillsides.


5. A 1x1 Sarks section. (§75/§5)
* A nice variety of sarks graced by a few trees. This lot is slope conforming and can be used on hillsides.


6. A 1x1 Crypts section. (§75/§5)
* A nice variety of crypts graced by a few trees. This lot is 'semi' slope conforming and can be used on slightly sloped terrain.


7. A 1x2 Funeral Scene section. (§75/§10)
* This brings a little "life" to your park. Its all there... the hearse, the limo, mourners (show up in the afternoon), preacher and, of course, the dearly departed in a lovely floral draped coffin. Be sure to query this lot to hear the lone piper's send off.

** This lot is slope conforming and can be used on hillsides.

Description:
This package contains nine one-tile long lots that have been modded to dig holes, and one that does the reverse by lifting the ground level up. The hole digging lots have been designed to dig entrances for tunnels, but they can be used in many ways (digging a ditch for a sunken highway, or for an underpass are examples). New hole digging lots include an avenue digging lot an a lot for sunken highways. The pictures show how a tunnel can be created in 6 simple steps and a sunken highway in 5 steps using these lots. smoncrie

By popular request, this is a base set of more industrial canals, similar in concept to those by Oppie and Pegasus. I always enjoyed using both of those creators versions, but wanted a set more industrial in nature, and more variations of pieces.

This is the base set of lots; there will be add on sets over time, by myself, as possibly by other BSC Members.

These lots are designed to play as neutral as possible in game. This will allow the player to build an extensive set of canals, without "ruining" game play by making a city develop too easily. There are no park, landmark or Mayor Rating effects, nor demand cap relief. No pollution, nor monthly cost. This set will function, by design, as 99% eye candy only.

I thought I'd release something special for my 50th lot. Earlier this year I spent an afternoon wandering around South Beach, Miami taking photo's of the Art Deco buildings. I thought this style of building would be an asset to the game, adding a bit of character, so I built a hotel based on some of the style features found there (and other places).

This package contains four hotels; the Excelsior (yellow), Pacifica (blue), Vermonte (green) and Flamingo (pink). Each hotel is basically the same, but with different colours, textures and lighting. There are four plopable lots; one for each hotel. There are also two growable lots; one 3x2 (Stage 8 CS$$) and one 3x3 (Stage 6 CS$$). The growables use a building family so the hotels will grow randomly.

Like the real buildings, they are sortof interesting to look at during the day, with a bit of Art Deco styling and colours. But also like the real buildings, they come to life at night with the neon and flood lighting. If you've seen "The Bird Cage" you will know what I mean. So if you don't use night mode in the game, you might want to for these.

These lots are BSC BTE enabled. This means they will contribute to reward chains. Having enough of these in your city may entitle you to specific rewards.

Standing at 252 meters, the Donauturm Tower is a widely-recognized symbol of Vienna. Designed by architects Hannes Lintl and Robert Krapfenbauer, it was opened on 16 April 1964 (after 20 months of construction) for the International Viennese Gardening Show. It weighs 17,600 tons and is constructed of 3,740 m³ of concrete sitting on a foundation 8 meters deep and 31 meters across. There is a jump platform as well for the thrill-seekers. There are 776 stairs to the top and every November a "Stair Run" event is held. Currently the record stands at 3 minutes and 19 seconds.

It attracts approximately 450,000 visitors per year and as of December 2001 had a total of 15.6 million visitors.

Once again a building for my Dutch friends (...but of course you foreigners can download it as well ) This time it's the Do It Yourself centre Gamma.

Description:
Ladies & Gentlemen... The Great Lighthouse of Alexandria.
Built to withstand the ravages of sea and time, The 40-story high Great Pharos Lighthouse stood as the tallest structure on Earth for almost 15 centuries... finally succumbing to a series of devastating earthquakes in the 1300s. Of the 6 fallen Ancient Wonders, the Lighthouse was the last to fall.

Lost to The Ages, a team from the Pegadyne Oceanographic Institute recently located and recovered the ruins from the harbor of Alexandria. Strapped for cash, the local government eagerly sold the ruins to Pegadyne Industries who carefully preserved and transported them back to your city. And there, as yet another public relations coup for the corporation, the ruins have been restored to their prior glory and now serve as a museum of Ancient Civilization for all the world to enjoy. "

This 8x8 lot (10x10 actual) historical landmark functions as a museum and serious tourist magnet. It contains all the properties and benefits of a normal museum (except plop price) and also includes the benefits of a landmark and tourist attraction.

This is a massive monument, Boys & Girls... assembled modular style from 10 basic interconnecting models. Numerous other custom props, textures, and sound effects were designed exclusively for this lot... including 14 individual offset-rendered props and models just for the seawalls alone.

The lot is designed to be plopped on water like the game's default seaport. However, it can also be plopped on dry land and used with the PEG Pond Kit to create a surrounding river or lake. The large parking area is transit enabled and when connected to your road network, cars and school buses will drive through it.

** Special thanks to BarbyW, Andreas, Blackbeard, & ParadiseFarm
for their assistance during the development of this project.


The Great Lighthouse has NO mandatory external dependencies.
The PEG Oasis Park is recommended for expanding the museum/park complex.

Description:

Formed from the derelict ruins of a nuclear power plant abandoned and deactivated due to old age, the Club RMT is an intense attraction for angst-filled teenagers everywhere. Its vibrant lighting and raucous parties are wild and run all night long, every night of the week. Adults don't like it much, but those rebellious teens certainly do.

This is a ploppable lot found at the bottom of your landmarks menu, grouped with other NDEX lots. It does not generate any radioactivity, as it is 'derelict'. It costs §74,700 to plop, §175 monthly, and provides 330 CS§§§ jobs (those teens can be loaded!). It uses 400 MWh of power per month (those neons are quite the power-suckers). The only prerequisite to being able to use this lot is not having the nuclear ordinance enacted.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE FOLLOWING:

The custom query for this lot - and the majority of NDEX releases - depends on a file called "bsc_Essentials_OG.dat". You need to keep this file in your main My Documents Plugins folder, without subdirectories, so that future installers can make updates to this file if nessecary. It is included in this download.

This lot has a custom query, and as usual, it is the standard residential NDEX query. Since most if not all NDEX lots will be using the same queries, this means that you only need one copy of the query file present in your plugins folder at a time. It is not advised to leave multiple copies sitting around.

(link: http://www.simtropolis.com/lots/details.cfm?id=3271) In order to see night lighting, you need to have the EP1 Update 1 for Rush Hour/Deluxe installed, and then afterwards install the patch specifically for the BAT nightlighting, available on the "Cool Stuff" > "Tools" > "Building Architect Tool" page on the official Maxis website (http://simcity.ea.com/). This is separate because it is optional and would add 19 MB to the other update. Render time: about 10 hours on a P4 2 GHz w/ 1024 MB RAM Thanks to N747 for the kickass model! It rocks! Update: It doesn't crash the game anymore. The LotConfig properties in the middle of the Lot exemplar were kinda messed up somehow; I'm not entirely sure but the issue is fixed as far as I can see. I will be making another update soon with a new lot design, smaller model, and additional props, at which point this one will be accessible from my FTP. Sorry about this. Thanks to Piel for the bug report which led me to fix the problem!

This is a simple, wide-windowed apartment complex that houses 6,600 Sims. It was designed with creating the appearance of one of SimCity 2000's arcologies in mind. There is only a growable version due to the game's limitations on plopable residential lots.
