I realized it was taking me 2 full minutes to scroll through my landmarks menu, so I decided to see if it was possible to plop everything in my landmarks menu on a medium city tile.  I realized fairly soon that it wasn't going to work.  I didn't even make it to where the Maxis landmarks end and the NDEX buildings start.  I also didn't plop one BAT that takes up a quarter of the medium tile.  Here are some pictures, and I encourage others to try it...it's like Tetris with your plugins!

I also didn't plop any Coruscant buildings, since they're so tall and are 22x20...

Geez...That's a lot of buildings there....

Hmmmm....Once I boot up my SC4 Maybe I'll show mine....

So, are we supposed to plop only our landmarks, or any custom stuff we have?

    I suppose however much you want to include...I chose landmarks only because I knew it was a lot. All I did was plop one of everything. My parks menu is huge too, but most of it is 1x1 crap that's way too tedious, and only looks good when it's part of something bigger.

    It would just be impossible for me to show all the custom content I have on a single city tile because...

    But here's my actual plugins folder! Nice and organized thanks to the .dat packer.

    For all of you in my CJ's who ask, "how many plugins do you have?"

    Still not intimidating, now, I will click on the folder "uncompressed plugins 2"

    well i can't post any pics but just imagine this- different dated files which are supposed to mean date downloaded, but were made in the middle of my "downloading days" so the numbers mean nothing until you get to november. and i think it is 2 gigs of that and a mess of .exe installed stuff

    I keep three seperate plug-ins folders. Then switch them in and out for different concepts. It does get a bit tedious however and I have stuck with the same one I have for some time now. It's the biggest one. only about 9mb.

    Just one beer and I can't be beat. Just a whole case and I can't remember, who beat me up.
