INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION MOD -
WALL-TO-WALL INDUSTRY 
 
Ballards Ball and Jacks Factory by jestarr
 
1 - INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW
 
This is the 14th upload in a second series of IRM W2W lots based on BAT models made by other artists, this time manufacturing industry. Since I found the building suitable to use in two instances as well as on its own, I present to you Ballards Ball and Jacks Factory, an old BAT by jestarr, in two different versions, one with a single building and one with two buildings right next to another.
 
The original version of the building will provide 128 I-M jobs, the double version 256 I-M jobs (surprise!). Here's the lot breakdown: 1x5 straight, Stage 1 (2 versions) (normal version) 2x5 left corner, Stage 1 (double version) 2x5 right corner, Stage 1 (double version) 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:
Ballard's Ball and Jacks Factory. Only the .sc4model file is required.
 
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).
