Nice upgrade. I'll update later (I don't have my own internet, and it seems I forgot to bring my flash drive with me to the library I'm currently at.  Btw, mind adding to the list of brands those stores located in the new strip mall.  I like to list businesses I have in my cities to create more realistic commercial districts (i.e. not having multiples of the same company in the same district, for example. In other words, if I'm adding two or more of your mega lots to a city tile, I want to avoid having two of said lots that both have one or more of the same store or restaurant too near each other). I can see there's Moe's Southwest Grill, Hair Cuttery, Saladworks, and First Watch Cafe, but I can't make out what lies between the latter two (I can't tell what the black rectangular sign with white lettering says).

I understand. I do my best to try use brands I haven't done already in shopping plazas. Sometimes you'll see me repeat a brand I did already in a strip mall, shopping center or vice versa, but that is usually with the mindset that the user won't overlap said brand. 

 That last brand in the strip mall is The Joint Chiropractic.

Thanks for the info. Ftr, I wasn't talking about repeats within two separate BATs, just two of them plopped or spawned right next to each other that have duplicates. I like to spread them out (one the things that irritates me in vanilla SimCity 4/Rush Hour is the simulation spawning 15 Bob's Grease Pits right next to each other in the same Commercial Zone, lol. I know, totally OCD on my part, but I degress).

@Proob25 I don't understand what you mean by that review. The read me file (or dependency list) is apart of this download under the documentation folder.

I think he's complaining that he wants you to do what is not allowed and package all the dependencies created by OTHER USERS with your creation.

Nope. No one packages dependencies with their files. Because those dependencies are made by other people, and thus, packaging them with your upload is considered stealing.

As @TheTimvh1 said, this would be against current SC4 community standards.

Dependencies must be linked in descriptions, as @RRetail has correctly done here. Bundling them inside files without permission of each creator isn't allowed. So I've moved your review to a comment, because your rating was unfair when the author has done nothing wrong.

Thanks for your understanding.
