Create Same Housing Style

[kinglin 0]

I downloaded some housing packs off the internet, however when I want them to build, they mix in with the houses in the game. Rather I want to make a subdivision of all modern houses or beach houses. How would I do that?

there is no "easy way" that I know of.  basically zone the area and whenever the correct house grows, querey it and check "mark historical," then demolish all the other houses.  Repeat this as many times as it takes to get exclusively the houses you want.

i have'n't found a better way either, it can be very frustrating! but it does workyou just have to be patient

I suggest you ask someone thats done it - look around other peoples CJs and look for some

OK this is a simple problem IF you only want plugins to grow, just install the block all maxis buildings mod which is what i do but if you want maxis buildings to grow only use the tilest style the building is in and use the right zone size to grow the building you want, if the building you want doesn't grow just demolish it and let another building grow in its place. Just repeat that untill you get the building you want.

Well, when I download a package of $$$ houses, when I plopped them, they always hav the "no job" sign on top of them. Can u get them to not hav that sign on top of them?

No, you can't ( you can remove zot using the tastyzots cheat code, but the effect is still there )

Residential plops don't work.

I think there is. If you download the SC4 Extra Cheats DLL (Just search the forums for ‘Extra Cheats’ ) this download allows you to plop all growable buildings into the game. Now usually plopable residentials abandon as soon as they are plopped but it you plop them onto existing residential development they shouldn't abandon (as long as you don't plop a R$$$ tower with 6000 people onto a R$ development with 100 people)

Hope this will help.
