About This File
Welcome to my first release! Today, we're going over a popular creator, @Diego Del Llano. I've been a long-time fan of his amazing BATs, but there's just one issue—he only releases his buildings as ploppables. Ploppables are cool, but in my opinion it's just not the same feeling as laying down a zone and seeing a giant tower grow from nothing.
You may remember the first pack that @kingofsimcity created a while ago. This was exactly what I was looking for! That's why I immediately downloaded the first pack as soon as I saw it. (And I recommend you do the same.) But since then, Diego Del Llano has released a smorgasbord of new BATs. And since kingofsimcity never created the long-awaited Pack Two, I'm taking matters into my own hands!
There are two versions of this pack you can download: Vanilla and CAM. The Vanilla version has the growth stages capped at 8 and the building capacities at 7,500. The CAM version has growth stages up to 15 and much higher building capacities (up to 19,000!).
Both DarkNite and Maxis Night versions are available, with the exception of the One World Trade Center. This building is DarkNite only and is not included in the Maxis Night version.
What about Icon Vallarta? I deliberately left out one of Diego Del Llano's buildings from 2017, the Icon Vallarta. That's because kingofsimcity has done a far better job than I could and released a variety of growable lots using the building. I highly recommend this as well. (Yes, it's CAM-patible.) A couple of other buildings were also excluded as they have since been remastered and will be released in a future pack.
If you want to plop the growables, use the BuildingPlop cheat and look for exemplars starting at DiegoDL_ (requires ExtraCheats.dll). Keep in mind that residential lots plopped with this method will not function properly.

Main Building(s)
This list contains all of the buildings used in this set. Each subfolder corresponds to a particular building - if you don't have a particular building feel free to delete the corresponding subfolder. Only the .SC4Model files are required from each file. Both DarkNite and Maxis Night versions are supported except for One World Trade Center, which is DarkNite only and therefore not included in the Maxis Night version of this pack.

About the CAM Revival Project
This pack was created as part of the CAM Revival Project. The goal with this project is to provide players that use CAM high-quality CAM-patible versions of popular BATs from more recent creators. As a new player, it's often hard to find CAM versions of popular buildings—or you end up having to mod them yourself to use them with the CAM. I wanted to make it easier and more accessible for all players to grow their collection of CAM buildings by creating packs like this. For more information, visit the CAM Revival Project thread!
Credits
Of course, full credit goes to Diego Del Llano for these amazing BATs!
Thanks also to kingofsimcity for creating the excellent first pack, the whole idea in the first place, and for the readme file (that I shamelessly copied).
