Glossary of SimTropolis Jargon

[QuinRiva 0]

As some one who is new to the community, one of the things that I have been finding difficult is trying to work out what everything means.  Many of the descriptions often involve the use of numerous abbreviations, which makes it difficult to understand.

Additionally many of the things that would generally be considered common knowledge, aren't necessarily easy for the uninitiated to understand.

So a few things that I am still unsure of:

• What is CSX?  As far as I can determine it involves some sort of tracking system, and there are a lot of CSX farms.... I don't know really.
• Maxis PIMs?
• BSC?  A batting group that for some reason only upload to SC4Devotion....
• NDEX
• Actually there are so many that I can't even think of most of them, perhaps you could list some that I've forgotten.

Additionally there were a few things that I guess could be considered a major addition to the game and initially some of these were a bit difficult to find and I'm still not entirely sure what they do (well I know what they basically do, but I'm sure it is a lot more complex than what I think).  I imagine there are already complex explanations, but Google really hasn't been as useful as you would think - so a link would be appreciated.

• CAM
• NAM

This also brings up the problem that a number of links don't work, so finding out this information can be quit complicated.

I know I haven't really explained this very well, but I hope you get the drift.

Coincidently, I did just find the glossary: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=110&threadid=77311&enterthread=y

but there are still some things that it leaves unanswered.

Just send a PM to a moderator, or someone behind the omnibus and ask them to update the Glossary.

Also, alot of the names you wanted to know are just building making teams.
