About This File
Welcome to the final installment in the @Diego Del Llano growable series! This is a pack of growable lots of Diego's BATs from 2019. Diego creates some of the best buildings I've ever seen, but he releases them as ploppable only. 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. For players (like me) that have wanted growable versions of these buildings, here you go!
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 around 13,000).
This pack is DarkNite only. Unfortunately, Diego never created Maxis Night versions of these BATs, so no Maxis Night version this time.
For more growable Diego buildings, make sure to also download pack one, pack two, and pack three.
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.

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 the whole idea in the first place and for the readme file (that I shamelessly copied).
