About This File

This little Mod is actually an add on for those using the Lot Editor. It is not a lot and will not appear in the game. This is simply an aid for folks using the Lot Editor to identify the Prop Families rather than scrolling thru the various numbers and trying to figure out when they mean.

This mod WILL create a dependency for those MAXIS items that now have a family name, only if the family is used on a lot.. This will NOT create a dependency on any CUSTOM content made by others here.

Lot makers, if you see a dependency on this mod for your lot, feel free to redistribute this mod with your lot to eliminate that dependency. This mod can be placed anywhere in your plugins directories. I personally like to place this in the C:\ProgramFiles\Maxis\Simcity4\plugins root folder, not in a subfolder. It works quite well there.

Which would you rather have? The picture at the left, which is Maxis provided, or the picture on the right which this mod provides?

At last. I have just been going through the Lot Editor checking all my recently downloaded BATs, and this will come in very handy.

At the rate you guys (girls) transform this game, you could take over the world if we create an army. Good job now to figure out how to use this!

I have the prop family numbers I use memorized so trying to access them by name just screws me up... but this is an excellent idea and Maxis should have done it this way from the start. Great job!!!

If I knew what a prop family is and what it's good for, I would use it, but I know someone who does all that stuff for me.....lol....and he's the best around too. Thanks! Probably very useful mod.

Answer for Equinox. No! The first 3 or 4 numbers in the list remain numbers. These are 32 different anims with 6 or more families that use some of them. The variations are huge.

This mod WILL show up as a dependency in the LD file, but actually it is not. Your lots will work with OR without this mod installed. This mod works be being interlayered between the actual prop IID and the LE interface. You will still need the props themselves of course.

Thanks a lot. I don't know how families work exactly in LE just yet. But I'm going to find out soon and this is very useful. Great Job.
