Lots for commercial, industrial, education and recycling. Version 3
These lots were made by a typing monkey...
McCormick & Co. Classic Industry, Commerce and Civics.
One of my favorite buildings on the LEX is this legacy BAT. The original masterpiece is a high-density manufacturing building. It was modded further as a Ministry of Power and as a Ministry of Garbage, both of which give relevant stats in their query windows, adding some more user-interface to the game. One must sign in to the SC4D LEX in order to download the model for both 'ministries', each of which are on the STEX. This download makes it a further useful BAT to have in the plugins folder.

There are 9 lots in this download. Each lot is separate so any or all may be selected. 4 3x4 and 1 4x4 lots are relots of McCormick & Co. Each lot is unique, only the building is the same.
1.) Plop-able re-lot for IM with 1200 jobs, Landmark menu.
2.) Plop-able re-lot for Cs$$ with 1200 jobs, Landmark menu.
3.) Re-lot as a Museum of Industry, capacity 2000, Civics Education menu
4.) Re-lot as a Technical School, capacity 2600, Civics Education menu
5.) Re-lot as a Recycling Center, 65% reduction for 35000 residents, Utilities Sanitation menu.
__________________________________________
The next lot uses a couple of Maxis' best mansions for a commercial showpiece.
6.) SimCity Neighborhood Pub & Grill, and Simtopia Architectural Design on the same lot, Cs$$ with 300 jobs, Landmark Menu.
School Bus Props
7.) 1 4x4 lot that adds to the Education Menu an extended version of the Museum of Industry with a parking area featuring school buses,
8.) 1 4x5 lot. Simtopia Elementary School educates sims in utilizing their artificial cybernetic world. This school is advanced in that all Occupant Groups for education are included, meaning that a wide range of students attend, giving it a significant education boost across the city and high capacity. EQ Boost: 50. Capacity: 3500. Generates ice-cream truck automata. (There is no School bus generator)

The following gem is a favorite classic on the STEX. It was used here as an example to code the Cs$$ files above.
The Barnacle Seafood Restaurant
https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/1722-the-barnacle-seafood-restaurant/
9.) A re-lot is included in this download which increases the Cs$$ to 184 jobs and adds a bit of anti-pollution, park and landmark effects, otherwise the original masterpiece is untouched

Dependencies:
For the first 5 lots the only dependency is the model file:
MSZ_MODEL_McCormick_and_Company.dat
Which will be .exe installed into the folder: Documents/SimCity4/Plugins/marcszar/McCormick and Company
MSZ McCormick and Company BSC (v1.0)
https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1412
The original download indicates further dependencies which are not necessary for this download, unless one wants to use the original grow-able lot. The two 'ministries' each have further dependencies, also not necessary for this download.
The 6th and 7th lots require:
bldgprop_vol1.dat
bldgprop_vol2.dat
These files are required for many user-creations on the STEX which re-lot Maxis buildings usually found in the Landmarks menu. They should be placed in the SimCity 4 installation Plugins subfolder.

Infinite monkey theorem
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem
The typing monkey is a mystery reward found in the BSC Canals Parks, an add-on to the BSC Canals. It is triggered when you have lots of money and low population. The typing monkey idea is used to keep the artist's ego down to earth. The gist of the idea is that without the infinite nothing exists, and within infinity anything can exist.
