Functional Landmarks mod crashing

I hope this is the right place to post this.

I download tiroca's (?) Functional Landmark mod, I tried it both in the "Program files" Plugins folder and the "My Documents" Plugins folder, and both the AllInOne.dat and a few individuals. None of these work. When I tried to open a city, it would freeze for a few seconds and then crash.

    Never mind. Problem solved. Always read the readme. Lesson learned.

    This is because your Landmarks existed already within your city before you applied his mod. The only known way to overcome this would be to (in this order):

    1. Take a snapshot of your city to capture all the Landmark's location and placement within your map.

    2. Knock them all down. 8-/

    3. Exit game and print out your saved city (inside the albums folder).

    4. Install selected mods in a folder called 'Landmarks' and place this into the Documents>SimCity 4>Plugins! folder (that way you can place n pull them all out at will  onto your desktop if you find errors.

    5. Go back to your city and pray (hopefully it won't lock up during cityvisit, if it does, you missed a building in there and have to find it by restarting the game without the Landmarks folder installed in the Plugins folder).

    6. Take a look at your picture and re-place all the landmarks.

    NOTE: If you save this game like that you'll HAVE to replace the entire Region (like i do...) to make this transition official. His mod really does work however sims increase by about %12 to %20, plus it reduces (not get rid of) the unemployed zots (those unemployed flags above buildings) in the city, but not by much. So is it worth it? Compare it to your SC4D Fan-omiter!

    I love it in my 2nd region! (New York)

    Hope this helps. Long live mods!!

    Easier just to plop a SIGN on where you took them out labeled with what it was.. then when you wipe it and come back it is very easy to find where it goes and what it was
