SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC Custodian Rubik WTC Complex

This SC4 Devotion LEX Legacy Pack features the complete set of World Trade Center Complex (Pre 11/9/2001) by @rubik3, including Props and Lots, which had been available on the Lot Exchange (LEX) at SC4 Devotion.

It includes the contents of 7 previously separate downloads.

After battling a number of technical issues, software incompatibility ultimately shuttered the LEX (at least in its familiar form from 2007 onward) in June 2023, and this package is designed to collect these dependencies in an easy-to-use form, allowing users to install them all in one go, or carefully select exactly which packs they wish to install.

Do not redistribute without asking first, mostly as doing so would complicate efforts to properly maintain, update, and provide technical support for the pack.

Quote

Whether you lived 10 blocks away or 10,000 miles away, these buildings meant something to all of us. It was a shrine to economic prowess, and was one of the most recognizable buildings in the world.

Now you can remember them in all their glory, or remember those that were lost by placing this tribute in your SimManhatten.

INSTALLATION:

Please note: if you had any of the older versions of these contents (including the now added One and Two World Trade - came as: WTC_One World Trade.dat and WTC_Two World Trade.dat), first you must bulldoze them in your cities, then remove the original files from your Plugins.

This package is a simple .zip file.

Copy/extract the BSC and CAM parent folders into your plugins (or equivalent, if you have a custom Plugins folder location). If you extracted the ~Documents folder into your plugins, too, it's highly recommended to keep it, but move it out of the Plugins folder.

It is highly recommended to run the cleanitol with the installer and remove any previous versions from your plugins. Optionally in the ~Documents folder in the main ZIP you can find a collective/master and separately all the individual cleanitol files and by using either the newer nos.17's SC4 Cleanitol or the older BSC Cleanitol tool you can search and remove old and outdated versions of these files.

And to the community itself, we would also like to thank you for your support, making mods such as this possible too. We're still at it after 20 years thanks to you!

And last but not least, a thanks for the Maxis individuals too, for the [paid] work that they did. ;-)
