Just a note regarding some issues as a result of changes made over time. The links in the Readme are for older files and need updated. Also, there is an issue with trying to use this version with the newer version that is available on the LEX. Efforts are being made to address both of these. For ease of use, it might be more convenient to use the newer version from the LEX at this time.

The updated version has been uploaded. It runs on different IDs as the LEX version, so they are no longer conflicting. Please read the changelog for more details.

About This File

This is version 2 of the highly successful Newman Inc Coal Mine bycitynut and the BSC. The original lot was good, this one's better. Themajor changes are:

- The lot now uses PEG's new streams and props, so the lot can join seamlessly with streams

- The lot acts as a self sufficient power source. It generates enough power to supply a small town of a few thousand people

- It has significantly more jobs.

This lot has undergone significant testing and will successfully starta city and sustain it to over 2,500 people. Note that the lot will notgenerate water. You will need to use another water source (such as the BSC Forest Water Tower).

Please see the readme file for all details of the changes, detailed installation instructions, lot specs and some notes on how to use thelot to start a city.

Installation Instructions

Copy/extract the BSC parent folder into your Plugins. If you extracted the _Documents folder into you plugins too, it's highly recommended to keep it, but move it out of the Plugins folder.
Assuming you didn't change the install location the files will be in:

  • The .SC4Lot, .SC4Model and .SC4Desc and .dat files will be in
    My Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\BSC\Newman Inc\Newman Inc Coal Mine v2/ BSC_NewmanIncCoalMine_2.1.dat
  • The readme (this file) and lot pictures will be in
    _Documents/BSC_Readmes/Newman Inc

Note that if you have already installed the older version of this lot, you must go through your Plugins folders and remove the following files. Make sure you remove/bulldoze all the Coal Mines from any cities where you might have used, before you remove these files:
- BSC_NewmanIncCoalMine_1_ae549783.SC4Lot
- BSC_NewmanIncCoalMine_2_4ebf9d2f.SC4Lot
- BSC_NICM_Textures.dat
- BSC_NICM_Props.dat
as these files have changed with the new release. Make sure you remove the Coal Mine from any cities before you do this, or the city might not load.

If you have downloaded the original version of this lot ("Newman Inc Coal Mine") you will need to remove some files (the original lot file, and the props & texturesfiles). See the readme for details.
