Can't Find It? Ask Here!

[Voar Tok 4]

This thread has been continued here.

I've been doing some searching in the back pages of this forum, and I've noticed that the two types of threads most likely to overrun the place are either BAT requests or people wanting to know where to find something.  Also, some of those threads didn't have such a great response because the question had apparently already been asked a few times.

So, in the spirit of keeping tidy, here's a general thread for all those "where is such and such a file" threads.  That and any newbies don't have to worry about accidentally creating a thread that's been made a dozen times or more.

I'm a total newb, just starting to put custom stuff in SC4.  I've been searching around STEX the past few days, and haven't been successful - I'm posting this as a last resort.

I've started building an airport using RMIP vol 1 to 3, but I'm looking for the following things to add onto it...

1) Fighter jet on tarmac, U-Drive-It capable.  Ready-to-plop, possibly an Area 5.1 replacement?  (not a whole base, just the jet on the tarmac)

2) Same thing as #1, but with a military helicopter.  Ready-to-plop, possibly an Army Base replacement?

3) All kinds of planes (military and civilian) parked on tarmac, for use as props.  Ready-to-plop.

Can someone kindly point me in the right direction?

I'm so glad this thread was made, 'cause there's one buildin' I just can't find. I've seen this buildin' a lot on AK's CJ's, and I've even tried askin' him where he found it, but he hasn't actually responded to me at all. I just can't find this thing, along with a lot of stuff that looks like it comes from the same source or site. Help me, please? 

Plus, in one of the seaport threads I've found (I think it was AK again) this ship has me confused where IT came from, too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx again.

Where do you get the "Diagonal Dirty Streets" Because I searched STEX and couldn't find it.

[Glenni 1,444]

The first one  in your pics, wyldone is ill tonkso's Riverside (some number) just search river or riverside, and you should be fine. as for the second, i'm not 100, as it looks like one of fukuda's ships, a japanese off site BAT or something from  jeronij.

I don't think the rain tool will make lasting changes. You lose the ponds as soon as you exit the city. The rain tool I think is mainly used as a temporary measure for building land bridges. It was a mod by Teirusu I think, in a set called extra terrain tools 2 (but I'm not sure).

You want one of the create a lake tools or ploppable water sets by the sound of it. Some come as lots in your parks or other menus eg Citynut's Newman Inc BSC RPK Kit or Pegasus' Pond Kit. The other kind is ploppable mayor mode water like the mayor mode trees such as Edmonton Mayor Mode Water Plop by brtim2

Nobody?

I recently downloaded a city and the game gave me a pop up that told me the following plugin packs were needed; 823442503, 1874243150,1345394465. My question is how do I find out what packs these numbers refer to so I can find them? Searching the numbers reveals nothing.

That looks like Pegasus stuff.  I'd check the STEX for his stuff first.

The problem there is that it's impossible to search by those numbers.  If you use the SC4 Tool, which you can get a hold of by sending a PM to Andreas Roth, will tell you which props you are missing.

[Sam 163]

Actually I'm pretty sure its Gizmo's water flora mod. Probably available only on Gizmo's site. However I can't remember the URL for it.

Thanks Voar Tok, that gives me a direction to start with.

[Silur 3,304]

Hi, Voar Tok ...

Ah, my turn!

I have been getting advice to get mods by Simgoober. I found gobs of mods by Simgoober and started downloading them until I cam across some sort of "Combo Pack". The name escapes me right now since I did this at home and I am at work (Shhh! Dont tell anyone!). I d/l it and extrated to my plugins directory and read the readme, which was very sparse. All it said was something like "If you already have these files delete them or this wont work".

Thing is, I have NO idea what effect this is supposed to have; will I start seeing new buildings grow up now? I didnt see anything new in the menus.

Another thing that confuses me is a lot of time people talk about "plopable" mods; I d/l a few of these too because they look interesting and again, I dont know how to make use of them as I have no indication that they are even installed.

FYI, I have the NAM mod installed and I can tell its working because I have new options for roads and such, but so far out of about the 10 or so mods I have downloadwed that is the only one that gives me a clue that it is actually part of the game now...

Also, the tutorial for working with Hills in the Omnibus says to place "grass" in some areas to make hills behave.  I have never seen a way to just drop grass somewhere, is this some sort of mod?

[Voar Tok 4]

Encrypted: I don't know about the rest of your question as it's a little too vague for me to be able to answer, but in regards to the grass, there are special grass lots that you can plop down in your city. They come with the game and should be in the parks menu, but right now, I can't remember for sure.

I'm looking for Jeronij's Ploppable Maxis Props which apparently is no longer on the STEX. It had non-growing versions of the original Maxis trees that could be placed as a single or in clumps in Mayor Mode along with some ploppable rocks.
