Introduction / Overview

McKesson Plaza (Building) is an office skyscraper located on Market Street in San Francisco's Financial District. The building, completed in 1969, stands 529 feet (161 m) tall and has 38 floors. McKesson Corporation is headquartered in this tower.

McKesson HBOC is one of San Francisco's Top 5 head offices with sales of US$52 billion in 2002.

- The Crocker Galleria is an open-air retail mall located at the building's base, largest of its kind downtown.

- Granite and marble highlight the 30-foot high all-glass entrance lobby.

- Rests on the site formally occupied by the Crocker Building.

- The exterior is constructed of 1 inch thick Norwegian granite mounted on precast concrete panels.

This building was used for the exterior shots of Cathedral Software in the 1995 film The Net, starring Sandra Bullock, Jeremy Northam, and Dennis Miller.

Installation

Simply unzip the content of this archive into your plugins folder and delete all the lots you don't want.

It is generally recommendable to unzip the entire download into a backup folder first and then copy only those files that you want into a sub-folder inside your main plugins folder. This procedure makes it easier to keep full control and leave out files that are not required in game, such as this readme and the screenshots.

In case you are looking for any .SC4desc files, these have been merged with the associated lot files to reduce clutter. Due to the individual names of each lot, I needed one desc per lot anyway, so this method suggested itself.

To uninstall a version you don't like, just delete the lot file from your plugins folder.

IMPORTANT: If any instance of the lot in question has already grown in one or more cities, first bulldoze all instances of that version in all your cities, then save the cities and exit. Now you can safely remove the version without running any risk to experience crashes or any other inconvenience.

ThomasMclure: not sure what you mean, but it is too obvious that you give a suspiciously low score to bring this 98 rated bat down to below 94 for no good reason. Can we just get rid of the rating system? It is just useless!

One of the most photo realistic BATs on the STEX period. Two thumbs cannot possibly describe my deep admiration before your work, Bix. Keep it up!

Fantastic! The unique footprint is great too as all too often nothing wants to grow in such corners and so I end up wanting a LM anyways. Thank you!

Like it so much. A beautiful piece. I plopped it in my city. Unfortuante for me is that the building sometime could be lit up at night and sometimes not. I do not know if it is because of the crashes with other downloads or what. I have downloaded sku update, and all other downloads got light except this one. Can someone help me on this. It is a major building in my finance strip. Got to have it up. Somebody please help.
