Quetz Isoprenes by HunD88

1 - INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW

Today I have the honour of presenting the final IRM I-HT upload (for the time being), the next uploads will be manufacturing industry.

The 40th and last upload in this series, Quetz Isoprenes by HunD88, contains an entire phalanx of lots (16 in total) because HunD88 was kind enough to provide a bunch of individual BAT models that can be assembled to various lot configurations - a possibility that I gladly took advantage of!
I had a blast lotting this one, although it's been a lot of work, too. Once I had a general theme laid out, however, I kept recycling familiar elements to ensure all individual lots would share enough common features even though I did my best to make each and every lot unique. Some of the lots are really plain jane and generic, others are more intricate. You'll find everything from small single-building lots to large complexes in here.
As a special bonus, this download also contains some "mech" lots that may grow adjacent to other I-HT anchor lots and will hopefully help to bring some more variety to your high-tech areas. Even if you have the IRM anchor lots blocked using my IRM lot blocker, these "mech" lots (pumping facilities and tanks) will be able to grow and complement those anchor lots that are not blocked.

Since all Maxis lots contained in the IRM Base Pack could optionally be used with toroca's Industrial Jobs Quadrupler, this download is offered in two versions: a regular one for those who prefer the default job numbers, and a quadrupler-compatible version for those who prefer using the modified stats.
The .sc4desc files for the regular version will look like this: IRM_[Filename].sc4desc
The .sc4desc files for the quadrupler version will look like this: IRM_[Filename]_x4.sc4desc
After downloading, simply delete the file of the version you don't want to use. If you leave both in your plugins, the quadrupler version will most probably override the default version.

The default version of the building will provide 10-70 I-HT jobs, the quadrupler version 40-280 I-HT jobs.

The following lots are included in this download:

2x3, Stage 1 (Quetz Isoprenes 1 - small building x1), 15/60 jobs
3x2, Stage 1 (Quetz Isoprenes 1 - small building x1), 15/60 jobs
3x3, Stage 1 (Quetz Isoprenes 2 - small building x2), 25/100 jobs
4x3, Stage 1 (Quetz Isoprenes 2 - small building x2), 25/100 jobs
3x5, Stage 1 (Quetz Isoprenes 3 - small building + tanks + pipes), 25/100 jobs
4x4, Stage 1 (Quetz Isoprenes 3 - small building + tanks + pipes), 25/100 jobs
3x3, Stage 1 (Quetz Isoprenes 4 - larger building), 25/100 jobs
4x2, Stage 1 (Quetz Isoprenes 4 - larger building), 25/100 jobs
4x5, Stage 3 (Quetz Isoprenes 5 - small + large + tanks + pipes), 50/200 jobs
5x4, Stage 3 (Quetz Isoprenes 5 - small + large + tanks + pipes), 50/200 jobs
5x6, Stage 3 (Quetz Isoprenes 6 - small + large + 2x tanks + pipes), 70/280 jobs
6x5, Stage 3 (Quetz Isoprenes 6 - small + large + 2x tanks + pipes), 70/280 jobs
2x3, Stage 1 (Quetz Isoprene Tanks - tanks x1), 20/80 jobs [MECH]
5x3, Stage 2 (Quetz Isoprene Tanks - tanks x2), 40/160 jobs [MECH]
1x4, Stage 1 (Quetz Isoprene Pumping - pipes x1), 10/40 jobs [MECH]
2x4, Stage 1 (Quetz Isoprene Pumping - pipes x2), 20/80 jobs [MECH]

For those of you who like to play with day and night view, the building used on this lot is compatible with the following night light mode(s):

Maxis Night with gradual day/night cycle: YES
Maxis Night with static day or night: YES
DarkNite* with static day or night: YES

*DarkNite requires SimFox' Day and Nite Modd (or a similar darkening mod) to be installed in your plugins.

2 - USE

If you extract this archive to your root plugins folder, it should create a folder IRM\IRM 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 Base Pack with all its dependencies - while these lots will technically work, they are meant to tie into the IRM. They may look out of place and show unexpected behaviour if used independently. Since this is an extension to the IRM, all the dependencies of the original pack still apply. If you have them in place, you can download every single growable IRM and IRM W2W lot I have ever made and will never have to download any additional packs for props and textures used on the lot.
Quetz isoprenes Co 2 - you'll also need the original upload of the BAT to see the building(s). Only the .sc4model file is required.

NOTE: For any dependency hosted at SC4Devotion (SC4D in short), you must be registered on that site and logged into the site's download area, the BSC File Exchange, in order to see the download button. Please bear in mind that there are separate logins for the forums and for the file exchange. For those of you who may still be unfamiliar with the site: SC4D is another major SimCity community with lots of unique content, so you will not regret making an account there.
