STEX Question

[TiggerEyes 0]

I just downloaded my first STEX file and it works fine. I tried downloading a second one and in the comments section someone mentioned that the file had a dependency? What does this mean? Do I have to do something different? Do I have to download another file? There is no "read me" file for this STEX file that I can see. Any help will be appreciated.

TiggerEyes,

If a file has a dependency, you will have to download the other file(s) for the file to appear/work correctly. Most of the time, the additional dependencies are props, objects that enhance the appearance of a lot. Sometimes the additional dependencies are to show model of the building on the lot.

Dependencies on other files occur because users are not allowed to include another's works (files) in their own files. If you have any more questions, just ask.

I'll just add that when a file has a dependency but no readme files, you can try to use it in-game but keep track of where you put it, so you can take it out if necessary. Sometimes, you will already have the dependency because a lot of STEX lots use common files (like the BSC Mega Packs), and if you use a lot of STEX lots then you'll have downloaded them already. So you could use it in-game and never know there was anything wrong. But if you get missing textures, or "brown boxes," then you'll want to pull the lot from your plug-in folder.

Thanks, Swamper77 and Drederick_Tatum! I'll try out my STEX lots and see what happens.
