Functional Landmarks?

I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place. Please move this with my blessing, then watch me learn and grow from the experience. :-)

First Question: I'd like to have functional landmarks (including Grand Central Station) in my games, but I'm not sure which mods I need to make this happen. Here are three that appear on the Most Popular list; do I need all three, or are some of them redundant?

  1. Functional Landmarks Complete Set V1.0 by toroca ()
  2. Functional Grand Central Station Final by raphaelninja ()
  3. Plugin Landmark Props by raphaelninja ()
Second Question: Can you rename the files in your plugins directory without breaking anything? Some of them are misspelled, and I'm far too OCD to let this slide ;-)

Thanks!

1. Functional Landmarks Complete Set

Adds jobs to Maxis landmarks. Can still be used if you want them with jobs.

If you use CAM, several Maxis landmarks will be growable, with jobs.

2. Functional Grand Central Station

The Grand Central Station was disfunctional in SC4 Vanilla. If you have Rush Hour or Deluxe, this mod is redundant. In Rush Hour and Deluxe, the Grand Central Station still cannot be awarded the normal way. You need to cheat or complete UDI missions to get the reward in RH. If you use the CAM, the Grand Central Station can be awarded as intended.

3. Plugin Landmark Props

Redundant. You won't need it.

Changing filenames can be done, but carefully. Do not change the filenames of any dependencies (mega packs, prop packs, texture packs) that might be checked with a Cleanitol file or upgraded by an installer.

SC4Lot files and SC4Desc files can usually be renamed if you want.

I would avoid renaming SC4Model files and DAT files though.

    Thanks! One last question: With CAM, do I/should I still use the Functional Landmarks Complete Set, or does that become redundant with CAM?

    Functional Landmarks Complete Set can still be used with the CAM. 2.gif

    Since those landmarks that look like offices also grow by themselves in the CAM, you might not want to plop them anymore though.
