    Hi, I'm really stuck at the moment and I would be really grateful if someone could help me, please.  I've downloaded a few things that have both a ploppable and a growable instance of the BAT.

    Unfortunately, once I've unzipped the file, it's not clear which files relate to the growable and which relate to the ploppable.  So if I only want, say, the growable version, I have no idea which files to delete.

    Are there certain type files which always (and only) relate to either ploppable or growable files, or is there anyway I can identify which files to delete?

    Your help is much appreciated!

    It depends on how well the lots are packaged. The growable lot SHOULD start with something like R$$2_3x4_xxx and there will be a desc file that SHOULD be labelled growable. However not everyone packages properly. Maybe you should post the names of the files here and more specific help can be given.

    Thanks Barby, to give an example, I downloaded a Burger King, but I only want it growable, not ploppable. The file names in the folder are:

    C16_4x3_BurgerKing_V1.2_3105e11c.SC4Lot

    C16_BurgerKing_v1.2-0x5ad0e817_0x106aa2a2_0x300000.SC4Model

    C16_BurgerKing_v1.2_Growable-0x6534284a-0x106aa2a2-0x7105db37.SC4Desc

    C16_BurgerKingsign2_v1.2-0x5ad0e817_0x106aa2a2_0x390000.SC4Model

    C16_BurgerKingsign2_v1.2-0x6534284a-0x106aa2a2-0xd105dd56.SC4Desc

    C16_BurgerKingsign_v1.2-0x5ad0e817_0x106aa2a2_0x3a0000.SC4Model

    C16_BurgerKingsign_v1.2-0x6534284a-0x106aa2a2-0x3105dd19.SC4Desc

    CS$$1_4x3_C16_BurgerKing_V1.2_3105f723.SC4Lot

    PZ1x1_BurgerKing2_v1.2_3105fd71.SC4Lot

    PZ1x1_BurgerKing2_v1.2_b105fd78.SC4Lot

    Unfortunately, the person who made this great BAT did not specify which files relate to the ploppable version, and which relate to the growable version, so I have no ideas which files to delete so that it doesn't show up in my landmarks menu. Thanks, in advance, for your help.

    You can delete the two files that start PZ1x1 as they are the ploppables. I am not sure about the file C16_4x3_BurgerKing_V1.2 but suspect that is a ploppable too. There is a new version of this that is about to be uploaded. I did the modding for kevdan25 but it has been sitting on my machine since January so it will be uploaded as a BSC upload. I just need to do the packaging then it will be ready to go. If you want to wait for that one you can delete all of the above.
