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.

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.

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.

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!

Airport pack no longer replaces ingame airports and now has a way to operate regionally along with many other new changed in V1.2.

his is a first pack of more ornate bridges for the canal set. More MAY follow.

Important; all of these bridges are fully functional, but for best results, be sure to "draw" the specific transit types (road, rail, etc) across the lot once it is plopped. This enables all game functions on them. Also, for easiest placement, it is best to leave the bridge portion until last; plop the canal sections on either side of the bridge portion first. This will make turning those pieces for alignment simpler.

Description:
Greystone Church originally came form the mind of DuskTrooper, who envisioned a large,
televangelist-style church with a lot of helpful functions behind it, such as

Health, Education, and Demand benefits for the surrounding city.

The Church fits onto a 6x6 lot - it takes up nearly the whole lot, we didn't add a lot of fluff
there. It provides health and education to 20,000 pious Sims. The lot costs §125,000 to
plop, and then §2/month for maintenance. What's that I hear - seperation of church and state?

Provides 15 CO§§ jobs, for the minister, his underlings, and the organ player. (The ushers
are volunteers.) It has a landmark effect of +65 over 64 tiles, as well as a park effect of +45
over 96 tiles.

Lastly, this will boost your EQ by 1000% and your HQ by 550%.

This small museum houses significant, rare documents in the history of promiment NDEX architects like DuskTrooper, EBurress, and Oneil_1. See architectural treasures, kept in their massive computer database as GMAX files.

However, you cannot just walk in. This museum is kept under high security because of the value of the stored designs, and only a few are allowed to enter. However, those select few spread their new knowledge and benefit everybody!

Who knows? Perhaps one day the NDEX vault will open!
This lot functions similarly to the Major Art Museum already in-game. It has slightly reduced capacities. Let's see - it is medium wealth (§§), and comes on a 3x4 lot, with a small parking lot in the back. It costs §1500 to plop, and then §25/month. It provides in Park Effect, +70 over 26 tiles, and in Landmark Effect, +50 over 22 tiles. People like to live and work near such a prestigious museum.... :p Lastly, the lot will boost your local EQ by 50 points, so it appears in the Education Menu. Touchdown!
No dependencies.
Uses the usual NDEX query. Like every other plugin, you unzip the files into your
SimCity 4/Plugins folder.
BTW - nice job, Tragicomicus! I tweaked it a bit from your original version, but I think the changes turned out well. The building was very creative, and I had quite a bit of fun trying to devise a lot to fit around it!

Description:

Now you can extend your Streams with a more Urban look with this 'channelized' add-on for the PEG Stream Kit. Although technically an extension of the Stream Kit, these concrete lined channels evolved during development (feature creep) into their own, stand-alone mini-canal or channel system. They will merge seamlessly with the existing Streams but can also be used all by themselves. The new single tile wide Channels are a great way to have water flowing through your city without sacrificing a lot of real estate.

With the old and stained concrete look, they are grungy enough to look right at home in even the dirtiest industrial area. Yet, with the red tile wall caps, they have that old-world charm & Mediterranean styling that adds class to any residential or commercial area. Very flexible... with 2 styles of corners (square or round), a pedestrian bridge designed for use with the PEG Trail Park & Seasonal Trail Park, a roadway/network bridge and an extender lot to allow passage under elevated rail or highways, these channels can go almost anywhere. They are even mildly slope-tolerant and can traverse up/down smooth, modest slopes.

The kit also includes a Stream Transition lot for a seamless transition to & from the original Streams. Additional lots, including a waterfall and a lock, are being developed for the first add-on to the new style.

The individual lots retain a small taste of park & landmark benefits, however, their desirability values have been greatly reduced. They still provide a taste of the YIMBY, but they won't collectively blow out any caps. Their plop price has also been reduced significantly and maintenance averages $1 a lot/tile.

* These lots have been relocated to the Water Transportation Menu for ease of use.

** The straight, 3x straight and straight Utility lots are slope tolerant and will allow the channels to flow down (or up) modest slopes.

*** All the channel lots fully cover the tile(s) of the lot... so there is no concern about matching adjacent terrain.

** The Stream Channel Kit has no outside dependencies.

This is the 2nd HK Tower Pack. Unlike the 1st Pack this one has some Med Res Towers that are slightly more modern looking. Remember, both the HKTowerPack1 and this 2ndTowerPack buildings will not grow unless you zone dense 2x2 blocks.

I noticed during game play some towers like to grow more than others, to fix this I changed their Res Occupation values so that they were relatively closer to each other on an average. Hopefully this will cause them to grow a little more evenly.

(If anybody has some better ideas to a solution to this please PM me.)

Coming to your local CJ, San Portello is the fabulous Las Venturas. If any of you have noticed there are a poor amount of casinos around in the STEX, and Im here to change that! Second on my great list is the Neyorka Bay Hotel & Casino...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Little Story:

The Neyorka Bay casino & Hotel originally founded itself in the spwaling metropolis of Santa Neyorka, the Casino itself was originally named the Viva Las Neyorka. However, after the thwarted attack of Hurricane Carl, the Casino was left in ruin, but the mayor of the city wasn't going to give up on it.

He set about rebuilding it! And in a few years, Neyorka Bay Hotel & Casino was reborn. And, in it's rebirth, it's sales quadrupoled, and quadrupoled again, until the hotel could stand sales no more. Thus, it went in search for another site, and there it finds itself in Las Ventura.

The hotel found in Las Ventura operatures venues around the clock ranging from Blaze: The Masked Avenger to the Jeronij & Family Stunt Performers, a spectacular show that's been known from San Portello to Columbia River. (Special thanks due for the bolded names).

However, the hotel is suffering the same problem now as it did in Neyorka. Can you help it by building it in your city???

The first of several add-ons for the new CSK Channel Stream Kit. This one is all about moving up and down the terrain and building your channels at different heights. For navigation, that means locks. For simple water flow... waterfalls.

The add-on contains 3 new lots for the CSK. Like all CSK lots, they have been conveniently placed in the Water Transportation Menu. The 3 new lots are:

1. Waterfall Lot - Virtually identical to the PEG Stream Kit waterfall except for the channel sections top & bottom and a new texture on the slope.

2. The Channel Lock - A 1x3 lot that is very similar to the waterfall except for the 2 stage lock in the middle. At different times in the day, the lock will be either filled or partially empty. Channel barges will also appear at the top and bottom of the lock during the day.

3. The Ocean Lock - Similar to the Lock, the lot is only 1x2 and is designed specifically for transitions to game default water. The lock is also a 2-stage model... and barges will appear at the top of the lock.

quote:

Description:

This is the second add-on for the PEG CSK... which is probably why we named it, "Add-On 2". Marketing wanted to go with "CSK 2: The Empire Strikes Back" which does sound cool... but we finally settled for , "A Means to an End" because this pack is all about end pieces for the Channels.

The 5 new lots in this add-on will give you lots of flexibility in adding finished ends to your channels and adding smaller channels or short branches into almost any area. Three of the lots are specifically designed for adding channels in industrial areas and can provide that special "grunge" that no self-respecting industrial area can do without. All lots are 1x1 in size. The 5 new lots are:

1. Standard End Lot - A simple finished End lot with banks to match the other Channel lots. This lot has a very mild YIMBY effect that matches the other channel lots.

2. End Lot with Steps - Similar to the standard End lot, but with contoured steps leading to the water instead of sloped banks. This lot also has a very mild YIMBY effect.

3. Industrial End Lot with Docks - Similar to the standard End lot but with small docks on both sides. Random barges will appear at different times of the day. This lot is designed for industrial settings and has no effect on desirability... either way.

4. Industrial End Lot with Surrounding Dock - Similar to standard End lot but with docks on all three sides. Random barges will appear at different times of the day. This lot is designed for industrial settings and has no effect on desirability.

5. Straight Double-side Dock Section - Okay... its technically not an end section. But it goes well with the industrial End sections or for any straight stretch of channel where you want industrial docks. These can be plopped in-line to create docks as long as you want. Random barges will appear at different times of the day. This lot is designed for industrial settings and has no effect on desirability.

Description:

This is the inevitable evolution of the Channel Stream Kit... a variable width Canal system. You can now mix & match your single tile width CSK Channels with channels & canals you create of any width. Like the CSK lots, the variable width CSK2 lots are styled to blend with all areas of your city and look great in both industrial and recreational zones.

These lots are very similar to the PEG Pond Kit lots and plop in the same manner. Their pricing and YIMBY effects have been reduced substantially, however they still retain the same slope handling abilities of the Ponds and Streams.

This is the 'starter pack'. Numerous add-ons are in development to expand the channel-canal system even further and provide a vast collection of waterway lots for your cities.

There are 7 basic lots in this initial release, which are:

* 1x & 3x Straight Channel Banks - Standard straight channel / canal bank sections.


* 1x & 2x2 Water Sections - Solid water sections that can be used to make your channels as wide as you want.


* 1x Outer Corner - Used to created smooth, finished corners Very flexible and can be used in a variety of ways to joins various lots together


* 1x Inner Corners (Squared & Rounded) - The standard corner sections in two styles; squared and rounded. Together, they can be used to create some uniquely shaped channels and basins.


* Transition Tee to the 1x CSK Channels - Similar to the Outer corner... but with corner sections on both sides. Designed specifically to merge the variable width CSK2 lots with the single-tile width CSK channels.

Description:

We continue our Channel Stream Kit series with this latest add-on subtitled... Go With the Flow. This is a collection of 3 specialty waterfalls to add more variety & glitz to your channel systems while offering more options to allow them to flow down your city's terrain.

The Standard Spillway is very similar to the Stream Kit's original non-texture based waterfall and plops just like the CSK Lock & Waterfall lots. The Spillway is 3 tiles long and self adjusts to any height of slope within its range. As it is not texture-based, it will not stretch to cover extremely high slopes... but it does have a fairly adequate height range of approx. 32 meters.

The Ocean Spillway is a variation of the standard Spillway that can be used to run your channels into game water oceans or rivers. It is only 2 tiles long and plops just like the CSK Ocean Lock lot.

The Garden Waterfall is a unique variation designed to add a bit of eye-catching class to your cities. It has a particularly stunning effect when used where your canals descend into recreational & even commercial areas. Accordingly, it has an increased park & landmark effect equivalent to that of a large park & plaza. It is also night-lighted so your Sims can continue to enjoy it after the sun sets.

Unless your barge captains are adrenalin junkies, we would have to classify these waterfalls as non-navigatable. The spillway falls have warning signs and safety chains to stop channel traffic... and the garden falls could easily be classified as a Class 5 Whitewater adventure.

All 3 lots include a custom waterfall sound effect. They will appear in the Water Transportation Menu along with the other CSK lots. They also have plopping instructions included in the menu descriptions

Description:

Our first add-on pack for the new CSK2 is aptly named as its all about Crossing Over... and getting to the other side. This add-on contains 6 new lots that parrot the Bridge and Extender lots used in the PEG Pond Kit.

The Bridge Lots consists of a left, right and center bridge facade to be used along both sides of a row(s) of blank tiles that cross over the channels. You can then run road, rail, avenues, etc... across those blank tiles and the channel will appear to flow under it..

The Extender Lots work in a similar fashion for use with elevated networks such as monorails or the elevated highways. The extender lots are actually only 1x1 in size, but they also have an offset rendered BAT model that extends to cover a 2nd adjacent tile. This adjacent tile, although covered with the BAT model, is actual blank and therefore networks can run across it.

All of the lots have almost no YIMBY benefit and cost only §1 a month to maintain, Plop costs are also very affordable at §10 - §20 each.

Description:

Do you remember the good old SimCity 2000 era, where microwaves from space were used as sometimes hazardous, but reliable and clean power source in particular? Now, it has finally returned, the microwave power plant, which receives the beam from a satellite that collects the rays of the sun in earth's orbit. The capacity of this facility is equal to the hydrogen power plant, but the other values are the same as the ones from the solar power plant, which makes the microwave power plant an attractive power source, providing the sims with long-lasting, environment-friendly power. But be careful, when the beam misses the receiver, the next fire station shouldn't be too far away! Dependent on the selected difficulty level, the power plant will become available when certain requirements are met (look below for a list), i. e. you'll need the space port in "hard difficulty", since you'll also need a satellite in space that reflects the solar rays to earth first...

You can select the Power Plant version of this lot from the utilities - energy menu and plop it in your city. This BAT has the same statistics like the solar power plant, but far more output. It is a reward lot which has certain requirements, dependent on the difficulty level:

Easy difficulty: available right from the beginning

Medium difficulty: 10,000 residents, 500 high-tech jobs

Hard difficulty: 25,000 residents, 2,000 high-tech jobs, spaceport

This is the first set of lots in the BSC Raised Park series of lots.

This base set of lots contain centre pieces, walls and corners allowing you to build flexible raised parks. The lots (see readem) are modded to act as a combination of Flower Gardens and Plaza's, with the emphasis being on Landmark Effect (to boost commercial demand/growth). The lots will reduce some air pollution, but do use and pollute water.

These lots, and the ones in the associated Rasied Park sets, are based on some ideas I got from Japan. In Shinjuku there are some parks raised above street level. This has the effect of removing much of the traffic noise from the park areas. Connecting these parks to each other and nearby buildings are pedestrian bridges to keep the pedestrian traffic flowing. Finally the Tokyo Government Office building has some amazing stonework at its base emulating some of the magnificent Japanese castles. These were combined into a common set of lots contained in this (and associated) lots.

Full details can be found in the readme. Also see the Rasied Parks tread in the BSC Teamroom forum.

Thansk to sandrasim for the lot beautification and the entire BSC team for help with suggestions/feedback and testing.

Description:


Pegasus Productions will be introducing an entirely new Mountain Theme for SimCity4. The new theme will include updated versions of all the old PEG mountain-related classics along with many new releases, including mountain-specific growable RES, COM and IND.

The contents of this archive are the primary dependency files for all the lots that will be released as part of this theme. Additional volumes will be added as required.

Please note that this theme pack is a replacement for the PEG Mountain Development Pack which should be deleted from your system. The contents of the old development pack are included in this new theme pack so your existing files that rely on it should not be affected.

Also note that once installed, the PEG Pine Trees throughout the game will be updated with an improved appearance. The update is automatic. There is no need to bulldoze and re-plop any lots at this time. No other changes to existing lots should be apparent at this time.

The conversion of the numerous PEG mountain-related lots & mods into a unified theme is an extensive process. Pieces of the theme will be released incrementally as they are completed. All efforts will be made to make the upgrade as easy as possible, but I won't lie to you, Folks... there's gonna be a whole lot of re-plopping' going on. Many of the upgrades and changes are extensive and include new textures, props, re-sized lots and even the removal of some existing lots. But the end result will be more lots, less menu icons, improved resource usage and a whole lot more flexibility.


** MAKE SURE TO DELETE THE ORIGINAL MOUNTAIN DEVELOPMENT KIT FOLDER & CONTENTS **

Description:


This is a MTP compliant update to the PEG Random Pine Forest lots which provides a fast & flexible means of adding realistic woodlands to your cities and surrounding rural areas. The Random Pine Forests are ploppable lots, in 1x1 & 2x2 sizes, that blend together to form large, forests of custom pines trees. They are fully slope conforming and can be plopped almost anywhere. Their YIMBY effects have also been reduce substantially to avoid blowing out caps.

The new Pine Forests feature pine trees with an upgraded appearance and one new pine tree model. They feature the same pines trees used in the PEG God & Mayor mode Pine Tree Mods.

Two versions are included... one with transparent textures which allow the game's natural terrain to show through... and a textured version that uses the new MTP Forest Floor texture and blends well with other MTP lots. The two versions are included in separate files so after installation, you can remove either one if you do not intend to use that style.


UPDATING LOTS FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS

The transparent texture lots are not affected by this update. However, the textured versions will not show any ground texture changes until they are bulldozed and re-plopped. You can do this at any time... even after the files have been updated. The old version remains fully supported and functional so you can replace them at your leisure.

** The semi-transparent version of the previous version is no longer supported and should be deleted. However, it too remains functional if you prefer to continue using it.


** BE SURE TO REMOVE THE OLDER VERSION FILES WHEN UPGRADING **

This is a MTP compliant update to the PEG Random Woods lots which provides a fast & flexible means of adding realistic woodlands to your cities and surrounding rural areas. The Random Woods are ploppable lots, in 1x1 & 2x2 sizes, that blend together to form large, wooded forests. They are fully slope conforming and can be plopped almost anywhere. Their YIMBY effects have also been reduce substantially to avoid blowing out caps.

Two versions are included... one with transparent textures which allow the game's natural terrain to show through... and a textured version that uses the new MTP Forest Floor texture and blends well with other MTP lots.

** These lot were originally designed for seamless integration with the PEG Trail Parks and the PEG Stream Kit. Obviously, they can be used by themselves, singularly or in groups, anywhere in your cities where you need a little flourish of flora.

Description:


This is a MTP compliant PATCH update to the PEG Seasonal Woods. It is NOT a complete update of the product and installation of the original/previous version is required. This patch will not affect the fairly large PEG_Seasonal-Tree-Pack_206b.dat file (476 KB) which contains the 18 original tree models and must not be removed.

Running this patch will install two new versions of the original files containing the lot data. The files...

PEG_Seasonal-Woods_207.dat and PEG_Seasonal-Woods-t_207.dat

...will be installed to the default installation path. The previous versions of those two files...

PEG_Seasonal-Woods_206a.dat and PEG_Seasonal-Woods-t_206a.dat

...must then be manually deleted.

This new version reduces the collective YIMBY effects of the lots in order to avoid blowing over any caps. It also replaces the previous two base and overlay textures with the new, single blended base texture used throughout the new PEG Mountain Theme. This will allow the Seasonal Woods lots to blend better with other MTP lots. Also, the reduction of the extra texture on lots used repeatedly, such as these, can have a notable reduction in game resource usage.

The textured versions of these lots will need to be re-plopped before the new texture will be visible. However, you can do this anytime you wish as the older version textures are still supported and will function and appear normally in the game. Previously plopped transparent version lots do not need to be re-plopped.

Description:


As part of the MTP upgrade, the classic Pine Trails have been modified to be "tree-type indifferent". In other words, you can now use them with any trees types you choose. Based upon requests on the support site, the pine tree props have been removed and these new Mountain Trails are now more flexible than ever.

Other modifications include the use of the new blended MTP forest floor texturing along with a new & more subtle 'dirtier' dirt path. These are the same textures used in other MTP lots so they will all blend together quite well. Also, there has been an overall reduction in YIMBY effects to avoid blowing over caps... and the plop prices have been reduced accordingly. All other aspects of the lots remain the same and they still adapt to sloped terrain extremely well..

The lots already present in the game will update automatically for the most part. Only the pine tree props will remain on the lots until you re-plop them. As any trail lots currently in the game are most likely among pines forests, this should not be an issue.

This Trail Park pack contains these lots:

1. A 1x1 Straight section. (§10/§1)
* The standard straight piece.

2. A 3x1 straight section. (§15/§2)
* A 3x1 version of the standard straight piece.

3. A Corner section. (§20/§1)
* A standard 90 degree turn or corner section.

4. A Tee section. (§25/§1)
* A standard 'Tee' or 3-way intersection.

5. A 4-way section. (§30/§1)
* A standard 4-way intersection


** UPGRADING THE TRAILS **
The new Mountain Trails files will be installed in the Mountain Theme Pack Folder.
You must remove the old version files from the Pine Trails folder. If that folder
contains other lots as well, retain the folder until those lots are updated.
Otherwise, just delete the folder.

Description:


Updated for the MTP, the Trail Head lot has been modified visually to include new trail textures and, of course, no trees. The Trail Head lot can now be used with all tree sets.

Based on typical trail heads found in many National parks, this lot can also be used as a rural roadside rest stop and picnic area. The lot is modestly slope tolerant but will look best on level terrain. The entrance to the parking area is transit enabled and should be connected using streets.

** UPGRADING THE TRAIL HEAD **
The new Mountain Trail Head files will be installed in the Mountain Theme Pack Folder.
You must remove the old version files that are contained in the Pine TrailsTrail Head folder.

Description:


** This is a MTP update to the original lot. Like the new Mountain Trails, it can now be used with any tree set.

Created by request, the original Pine Trail Railroad Crossing was a simple, 1x1 lot that visually extends the Pine Trails over railroad tracks. In effect, it is no more than a single tile lot that is transit enabled for both freight & passenger rail.

However, with the game's default "dirt" underlying the rail road tracks everywhere in the game, there was no way to get this lot to look quite right. Thus spawned a collective effort at the support site for a means to improve the appearance of the railroad tracks.

The result of that collective effort, is the SWAMPER-PEG No Rail Dirt Mod, which was initially released on the STEX along with Swamper77's OneWay Railroad Crossings Mod ... and is also included in this archive. As is pictured above, the No Rail Dirt Mod eliminates the dirt texture under the railway tracks... which doesn't look bad on straight sections, but looked like chunky Hell on diagonal sections and turns and turnouts.

The side effect to this mod is that is also removes the underlying dirt that appears on streets adjacent to farm and landfill zones. On those tiles, between the road and the sidewalk, the true underlying terrain (usually grass) is visible instead of the dirt. Its barely noticeable and not objectionable in appearance, but a side effect none-the-less.

** UPGRADING THE RAIL CROSSING **
The new Mountain Trail Rail Crossing files will be installed in the Mountain Theme Pack Folder.
You must remove the old version files that are contained in the Pine TrailsRailroad Crossing folder.

** The SWAMPER-PEG No Rail Dirt Mod (included) is also recommended but not required.

Description:


New... for the PEG Mountain Trails... this Recreation Pack adds seven new Mountain Trail lots to your off-road toy box. Included is almost everything you would need to create you very own, custom camp grounds. This pack is loaded with many new custom props that will breathe new life into those old dusty trails. Many props shuffle and change to create an active camp ground look while still maintaining that peaceful, easy feeling.

The seven new lots are:

1. Mountain Trail Tunnel Lot.
By request... this 1x1 lot allows you to visually extend your trails through mountains. Can also be used as a small mine.

2. Mountain Trail Corner Picnic Area.
A 1x1 variation of the standard corner section. The dirt area on this one has been widened to make room for a couple of wooden picnic tables.

3. Mountain Trail Ranger Station.
We re-used the game's Ranger Station prop on this 2x2 lot because... well, because is doesn't suck. With integrated Mountain Trails, this lot looks great as part of a larger camp ground or just about anywhere along the trail.

4. Mountain Trail Camp Site.
A 1x1 individual camp site lot that plugs in to any trail piece. Used with Tees and 4-ways, you can easily create large camp grounds of almost any design. Each lot displays random tents that are packed up each day as the campers head on down the trail. New tents appear as new campers hike in for the night. And, of course, each camp site has a toasty camp fire each night for cooking up those tasty Smores. Anymore know the second verse to 'Kumbaya'?

5. Mountain Trail Recreation Area.
A common fixture at larger campsites, this 2x3 Recreation Area features a large above-ground pool, BBQ pits and plenty of space and toys to keep the kiddies busy. With a large patio area and covered tables, this would be the main focal point and social spot of most camp grounds.

6. Mountain Trail General Store & Trading Post
Many large camp grounds have one... in one form or another. Many also serve as the official headquarters or office for the camp ground. Loaded with the usual over-priced groceries, beer, bug spray, beer, camping supplies, bait & beer... many also have a small grill area and serve food to campers who's idea of "roughing it" means 'no cable'.

7. Roadside General Store & Trading Post (w/ Jobs)
A variation of the Pine Trail store, this one is designed to plop along your road network. Transit enabled and offering jobs, it also includes Mountain Trails and works well as an entrance to a campground or as a trail head.

quote:

Description:


Kumbaya, My Friends... Kumbaya!! The translation of this Gullah word was made famous by the popular campfire song, and means "come by here". And that is certainly the message that campgrounds want to get out to campers on the trail.

No self-respecting campground is with out the classic fire circle/amphitheater where the campers gather at night to hear tales from the rangers of local folklore and the history of the surrounding area. A raging fire, a good show by the rangers and plenty of group sing-along songs before hiking back to the campsite and bedding down for the night.

The Campfire Circle / Amphitheater lot is designed for use with the PEG Mountain Trails and fits right in with the other campground lots included in the Mountain Trail Recreation Pack. It features a dual-model amphitheater prop that is largely empty by day. But when the sun sets, the amphitheater fills up with campers, the fire is lit, and the fire glow sets the mood for the often haunting, but always fun & humorous show put on by the rangers.

* The lot also contains a custom audio track. If you listen carefully, you can hear the crickets and occasional owls hooting in the distance.

Like the other Mountain Trail campground lots, the Fire Circle has minor YIMBY effects... somewhat less than a small park. Its very affordable to maintain and quite cheap to build. "Someone's Plopping, Lord... Kumbaya...".

Description:

This mod will give the roads a more European look by changing the yellow double-line into a single white dashed line, as it is common throughout Europe. Every road texture, such as straight and curved pieces, crossroads and intersections, bridges and tunnels etc. were changed, as well as the textures from all new Network Addon Mod additions (roundabouts, overpasses, puzzle pieces,...). It also contains a file that will change the doubled one-way road arrows to single arrows, so the one-way road roundabout from the NAM looks much nicer.

Note: This mod completely replaces the Euro Road Textures Mod by Thorvin and all previous beta versions by frimi2, so please delete them first before installing this mod! This download comes with an EXE installer, a link to the ZIP version can be found in this posting.

The Cobb Emerald Park Building:
A high wealth residential tower housing 1708 sims. The Cobb Emerald Park is a luxury apartment building with an artistic tower at its apex, designed to provide an attractive addition to your skyline. The building is illuminated with an emerald-themed green and blue night-lighting scheme. Sims who live in the Cobb Emerald Park building have access to several outdoor and indoor parks, a swimming pool, a large recreational area in the lobby, and an elevator-accessible observation level above the Sky Park. There is also a ploppable landmark version included.

Thanks go to KD5RAX for modeling the trees, n74704 and KD for providing textures, and GOLDIVA for providing multi-colored lighting capabilities. I also received numerous helpful suggestions during its creation from contributors in the BAT open discussion forum.

Installation instructions:
1) Unzip all the included files (.SC4Desc, .SC4LOT, and .SC4Model) to your Simcity plugin folder under the "My Documents" path.
2) In SimCity4 RushHour, zone an area of 4x3 high-density residential
3) Just play!

I hope that you enjoy the Cobb Emerald Park Building! --COBB

A couple months ago I started playing with more transit lots. I had the Bus Stop set which I like and use a lot, and wanted more choices in Subways. I made this small set of 3 variations to function as more Urban and higher capacity than the standard maxis ones. I also added a counter to it, so the query tells you how many you have in your city. The Maxis ones cannot be counted...

Had ik in de normale SC4 een prachtig stad gebouwd zonder noemenswaardige verkeersproblemen...liep allemaal lekker. Installeer ik deze uitbreiding, heb ik binnen notime gigantische verkeersproblemen en trekt iedereen mijn stad uit.

Lekker, zo'n uitbreiding
