About This File

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION MOD -
WALL-TO-WALL INDUSTRY 
 
Empire Leather Works by jestarr
 
1 - INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW
 
This is the 18th upload in a second series of IRM W2W lots based on BAT models made by other artists, this time manufacturing industry. For this upload, I turned Empire Leather Works by jestarr into an entire family of no fewer than 10 lots - from a single compact W2W factory to large complexes with multiple buildings..
 
The lots will provide 80 I-M jobs (Empire Leather Works 1), 96 I-M jobs (Empire Leather Works 2), 160 I-M jobs (Empire Leather Works 3 and 4), 208 I-M jobs (Empire Leather Works 5), respectively. Here's the lot breakdown:

  • 1x2 straight, stage 1 [Empire Leather Works 1]
  • 4x2 left corner, stage 1 [Empire Leather Works 2]
  • 4x2 right corner, stage 1 [Empire Leather Works 2]
  • 5x4 left corner, stage 1 [Empire Leather Works 3]
  • 5x4 right corner, stage 1 [Empire Leather Works 3]
  • 5x4 left corner, stage 1 [Empire Leather Works 4]
  • 5x4 right corner, stage 1 [Empire Leather Works 4]
  • 6x5 left corner, stage 1 [Empire Leather Works 5]
  • 6x5 right corner, stage 1 [Empire Leather Works 5]
  • 6x6 straight, stage 1 [Empire Leather Works 5]

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 BSC Mega Props Jestarr Vol. 06 to see the buildings:
BSC Mega Props - JES Vol06 (v1.0). It doesn't only contain the train cars etc. you can see in the screenshot, but also all the required building models.
 
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
 
It's not the first time I'm writing this, and it won't be the last: credits to jestarr for this BAT!

It looks like this could be a fine way to place "stealth" industry in small-town downtown areas.  Nice.
