WALL-TO-WALL INDUSTRY
Industrial Unit 1 by rp2005
1 - INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW
This is the first upload in a second series of IRM W2W lots based on BAT models made by other artists, this time manufacturing industry. This building is Industrial Unit 1, a very very old creation by rp2005 (later rp2006, finally zero7) that I still think should not be forgotten. However, it is worth mentioning that the building's night lighting will not work with SimFox' DarkNite mod, only with Maxis night.
The building will provide 80 I-M jobs and comes in two slightly different variations, both with identical stats and mostly identical lots:
- 2x2 right corner, Stage 1 (2 versions)
- 2x2 left corner, Stage 1 (2 versions)
In keeping with the other IRM stuff, the job numbers are intended to be in line with Maxis stuff if you use Toroca's Industrial Jobs Quadrupler. Since you cannot zone large coherent areas with W2W industrial and the lots can be complemented with fillers, the resulting job density will, in fact, be not that excessive. For the same reason, growth stages for IRM W2W are generally kept low.
2 - USE
If you extract this archive to your root plugins folder, it should create a folder IRM\IRM W2W Expansion\[NAME OF BAT], where [NAME OF BAT] represents the name of this download item. Within that folder, you will find all the game-relevant files and a sub-folder containing the HTML readme and some screenshot(s).
If you no longer wish to use this download, proceed as follows:
- Bulldoze all lots pertaining to this download
- Save all the cities and exit the game when you're done bulldozing
- Remove the associated files from your plugins folder
Hint: Just to be sure, I recommend moving the undesired files somewhere else and doing some checks before you delete them permanently. This way, if it turns out you forgot to bulldoze something, you can add it back in temporarily until you're done.
3 - DEPENDENCIES
IRM W2W Base Pack
Since this is an extension to the IRM, all the dependencies of the original IRM base pack still apply.
In addition to this, you'll need the original upload of the BAT to see the buildings:
BSC RP2005 Prop Pack Vol 02.
If you want to have the option of blocking the enclosed lots from growing temporarily, for example when you want to go back to regular (i.e., non-W2W) IRM industry for a while, you can use the IRM W2W Expansion Blocker v 1.0 (or higher) from January 23, 2015 (or later).

4 - FINAL WORDS
I'm glad that I have finally started the second series of IRM W2W BATs. While the first ones will be very simple old buildings on equally simple lots, I guarantee that there will also be some bigger structures on more exciting lots. Still, basic fillers are always needed. Credits to rp2005 for this BAT, and brace yourseves - more IRM W2W is coming...
