unfortunately not really

one thing to do is to download the most common dependencies and then after a while you find you don't have to go and get them everytime you download

another is to figure out what items are unecessary and won't give you a brown box, then just not worry about those. That can be tough though unless you play in LE and know off the top of your head what props are in what pack.

Nope, if there are dependencies it is the searching you have to do

One way to make it a little bit easier is use the LEX at SC4D and check it back against the Lot's listed dependency list to see what you need or have

There really isn't a better method of installing plugins other than doing it one by one, I'm sorry to say. However, if you haven't already I suggest organizing your plugins folder by type of file like "props/custom lots (if you have any)/mods/BATs" etc, that way it's easier for you to narrow down what dependencies you have or don't have. 4.gif
