About This File

KK Transmission Substation Pack w/Hookup
Built by Kloudkicker Industries. This is a AMPS Certified Mod.

PLEASE REDOWNLOAD. The original files were bad and not working. Delete the old folders by following the Before Installing instructions below. I don't know what happened and could not fix them, so I just remade the lots with very minor changes. I am very sorry for the mistake's and any inconvenience it caused.

Two brand new 2x2 lots, producing 600 MW of power and 5 R$$ jobs each and comes with maxis transmission power line hookups. Each has a slightly different look using the same props, some arranged differently. The main difference is in which direction the transmission power line will visually connect to. One lot connects to the right side and the other lot is from the back side.

You can use these lots as is, one or both. Remove the file you do not wish to use. They can be used as they were deigned to be, intended as core files for a mod underdevelopment and is in testing stages. More information about AMPS can be found in the AMPS Development Thread.

*These six files are from the Transformer Substation download https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/31217-transformer-substation/.
The folder they are in is named "Transformer station with maxis power line hookup".
NOTE: All of the dependences are required for a complete looking lot; without any brown boxes, missing textures or objects.

Name of included files:
KK_T Substation wHookup-Back_6da035fd.SC4Lot
KK_T Substation wHookup-Right_8da0361c.SC4Lot
KK TSubstation Pack (NEW) README.txt
KK TransSubstation-Both.jpg

Before Installing: The old folder needs deleted due to the files not working. They can be found in one of two locations depending on time of downloading;
 
1.) parent folder "Kloudkicker Industries", delete subfolder "KK_TransmissionSubstationPack wHookup"  or
 2.) parent folder "Kloudkicker" subfolder "Electrical" than delete subfolder "KK_TransmissionSubstationPack wHookup".

Name of files removed from above step:
KK_TransmissionSubstation_Hookup-Back_2x2_8d5a5227.SC4Lot
KK_TransmissionSubstation_Hookup-Right_2x2_cd5a5243.SC4Lot
Also remove the text document and pictures: KK TSubstation Pack w Hookup README.txt, KK TransSubstations-D 1.jpg, KK TransSubstations-D 4.jpg; if kept.

Installing:
After downloading, extract the folder and open it. Than open folder inside named "Kloudkicker" and open folder in there labeled "KK T SubstationPack w Hookup README". After reading the README text file inside, remove folder "KK T SubstationPack w Hookup README" and store it in a separate place other than the two plugins folders or discard it. Take folder "Kloudkicker" and place it in the Documents SimCity 4 Plugins folder. Enjoy while playing.

Uninstalling:
Bulldoze all of the lots in every city they were placed and then remove the files from your Plugin folder. Oh no, did I just say that?

Credits:
I would like to thank Simmer2 for providing the very nice props. Also I would like to thank you to all of the Simtropolis community, SC4D and Maxis of course. But a Big Thanks goes to Dirktator, the founder of Simtropolis. If it was not for him starting Simtropolis in 2002, this could not of happened. Thank you Everyone.

This lot was redesigned by me(Kloudkicker). These lots have been tested. Much care has been take to ensure that there are no errors, but this does not mean that errors do not exist. How can anyone ensure that when the game is not perfect itself? Use at your own risk.

Feel free to use this mod for any reason. Please, just give credit when it's due. However, Do Not upload this mod to any site without my permission.

How do I connect them to my power lines? I put two next to it and it's just hanging in the air.

the cables hanging up from one side of the lot match the height of the power pylons, so you need to put a pylon in that place and will fit.

Yeah, I figured it out last night. Thank you for your response. Does it affect my power consumption, or is it purely cosmetic? Thank you for developing it! I've wanted it for SC4 for a long time.

Your welcome, thank you for your interest. They each produce 600MW along with 5 R$$ jobs.

The below dependency is also required to get the substation main building (otherwise you get a brown box and plugin pack 0x6da035fd" error).

The HD I had SimCity 4 installed on crashed recently and I had to reinstall the game. Now the mod is giving me brown boxes. I made sure that I have all the dependencies installed. I reread the instructions and when I saw this part I was like "Wut?" 

"Before Installing: The old folder needs deleted due to the files not working. They can be found in one of two locations depending on time of downloading;
 
1.) parent folder "Kloudkicker Industries", delete subfolder "KK_TransmissionSubstationPack wHookup"  or
 2.) parent folder "Kloudkicker" subfolder "Electrical" than delete subfolder "KK_TransmissionSubstationPack wHookup"."

This makes no sense. You're telling us to delete the mod out of the games plugin folder. Am I missing something here?

If your brown box appears instead of the main building, you're likely missing SM2 Mega Prop Pack Vol2 as stated in this comment:

Yes that was the issue. The brown boxes are gone now. Thank you.
