Stop Maxis Mansions from growing  1.0

About This File

This is a mod that stops low density Maxis R$$$ (the huge, sprawling mansions) from growing in your game. But the higher density R$$$ condos and apartments still grow, as well as 2 of the smaller 2X2 high wealth homes that blend in better.

 

INSTALLATION:

Simply unzip and place the DAT  file in your documents/SimCity 4/plugins folder.

 

No dependencies.

 

CREDIT GOES TO ANDREAS ROTH FOR THIS TUTORIAL:

If you are comfortable with using Ilive's reader to mod, you can make a similar effect to any degree you want if you are unhappy with any of the things this mod allows you to grow.  Simply take any existing block-all-R$$$ mod, highlight any of the exemplars which represent the buildings you still want to grow, delete those exemplars and save as a new DAT.

Isn't there a way to make these plop only on the appropriately sized lots (as in them only growing on the 3 * 3,  3 * 4, 4 * 4 and correspondingly bigger parcels)?  I like creating mansion-based suburbs every now and then, but somehow the richtard sims prefer to take half a block of low or medium wealth suburbs.

Thank you! This is always a pain when I zone 4x4 high density residential hoping to get skyscrapers, and then I just end up with the stupid 4x4 mansions. Greedy rich Sims stealing up all the land that could house thousands...

Excellent stuff, thanks a lot. And in theory - if you remove the plugin, let mansions grow then put it back, they will stay where they are (but no new ones will grow), which would be useful to selectively develop mansions. Correct me if I am wrong

That's exactly what I'm wondering... if it is possible I think this little mod is for me.  *:D
