About This File

UPDATED VERSION: Adds cranes and modifies construction times, plus a brand new readme. All users who have previously downloaded are encouraged to download again. IMPORTANT: This new version may not be compatible with a few other mods. See readme for details.

These are some *.dat files that will force all of the original civic buildings on the original Maxis lots to construct. It is eye candy only, and while the buildings are constructing they are still functional. This means that you can still build a fire station during a fire and immediatly dispatch trucks.

These are the buildings that will be constructed when you place the file in your plugins folder. They are all 18 of the civic buildings as designated in the Reader:

Education:
Elementary School
Large Elementary School
High School
Large High School
City College
Local Branch Library
Main Library
City Museum

Health:
Medical Clinic
Large Medical Center

Police:
Police Kiosk
Small Police Station
Large Police Station
Deluxe Police Station
City Jail

Fire:
Small Fire Station
Large Fire Station
Fire Department Landing Strip

More details are included in the Readme (I spent time on it, so read it).

Thanks, have fun, and enjoy! (I plan on doing utilities next).

Great idea. I downloaded a file like this a long while ago which worked for City Halls, apologies to whoever made it as I can't remember who it was to credit them! I've downloaded but before I install, one question.... ...should I erase the City Hall construct file in case of onflict and are City Halls included? Thank you

Sorry, I only just noticed the list of buildings included - strange as I usually read the descriptions first! (honest)

Thanks again for the comments...I will do utilities after I add (by popular demand) cranes to the taller buildings, and make the small buildings take not so long to construct. The only thing about these is they won't be compatible with any other changes to these buildings (radius, capacity mods)....

....as they deal with building exemplars and the last one to load will overwrite the others (same with lotconfig, but I don't think anyone has really played with these). So I'll make this optional. If only I knew how to update the file now!

Not very useful, but I'm still a big fan of all the construction scaffolding just because it's realistic.

Wow. I too am surprised it hasn't been done before. crazykid4simcity: There are a few that I think would be better without construction, like the graveyards.

Ok, updated two days ago...forgot to comment. Cranes are here! If you want them, download again. Also resolves an issue with long construction times for small buildings.

Nice !! But can it make unfunctional during the counstruction to add little bit of realism...??

Hmm...I don't think that would be possible. However, there is always that delay when you plop a school (for example) and when it takes effect - the query won't say it has students until the building's done constructing anyway (typically ~ 1 month). On larger buildings, like the Large Medical Center, there may be patients before it's completed, but it might only be a week before.
