Crime Variable Question

[Gahagan 0]

I've got a two-part question, hopefully someone can help with both parts.

First, is there a "Crime Variable" anywhere in SC4 that anyone has encountered?  There seems to be certain buildings (airports spring to mind) that attract crime like a magnet.  I've had airports surrounded 6-8 tiles deep with Deluxe Police Stations and the crime just doesn't go away.  I'd imagine that if there were such a variable it would show up in the Plugin Manager, but I haven't seen a way to modify it from there yet.

Second question, if the first one is true: Is there any way to modify existing SC4 building variables through the plugin manager, or some other program?  Again I tried this through the plugin manager but it only loads player-created lots and models.  Can a list of lots and models from SC4 be imported into the PM?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Yes, but not in Plugin Manager. The easiest tool is SC4Tool

Thanks, looks like just what I need.  No more donuts for the precinct if they can only run three tiles.

Now if I could get the thing to save after I modify an exemplar I'd be good, but it seems to lock up every time I try and do it.  Any possibility of being able to help with that?

Oh, there it goes.  Didn't think it would take 10 minutes to save a few changed numbers in the code.  Thanks for the help.
