You should be able to find these on the STEX or the Modds & Downloads sections.  This is really not my area and I defer to Greyveil on this or to the STEX moderators.

Try to be more precise. In which way does the reader "say" you need some DAT files? Are you referring to the LD file? If so, which DAT files are those?

Oh, by the way: Please read the forum rules. I'm not sure having advertising in the signature is permitted here, so you'd better check.

I have had a look at the SG Blackbeards Rum Distilleryand opened one of the lot files in the reader. In the right window its shows indeed: "SG_PirateRumDistillery.dat" This has actually nothing to do with needed files for the user but is a clipboard where possible dependency files are stored. In this case the .dat file mentioned has been renamed to "SG_Blackbeardsrum.dat" by the creator. The name hasn't been changed in the clipboard though ... thats where the confusion comes from.

The installation install three files ... two lot files and one dat file. If these are in you plugins folder the lots will work as they should. You can discard the info in the "clipboard" window on the ilive reader.

My best guess is that for the other items you mentioned something similar has happened. Check for your self if you have installed the items properly: use the installer if it comes with and installer ... check the dependency list from the read-me file included. Test the item in a test city and if all works as it was supposed too you can discard the info from the Reader's clipboard. If it is still troubling you, just send me a PM and we will sort it out.

happy gaming

hallo NicolaiS...

i suppose that you have right and the problem for the RUM Distillery (and the other too) is only that the file has been renamed.

The most of  "BATters" of Simtropolis are very accurate when release a new lot.

I don't have think of this option.

In any case thank to all.

Hi T Wrecks... sorry for the advertising in the signature...

I have installed the Google Toolbar for testing (probably from this come my error)
