Ever heard of Estado del Vlakhaas?

[Cougar2004 128]

I have not really participated in this area of the Forums before, so please help me if i am doing it wrong.

I found references to a building that Id like to find, but have been unable to google it, or find it on the STEX or LEX.  Has anyone here ever heard of the:  Estado del Vlakhaas ?

I, too, am looking for this file, because it seems to be a necessary part of a rewards chain for a number of BLS agricultural files. Since no one responded, I'm going to resurrect this and see if anyone now knows where to find it. Google wasn't much help... just files that need it and then this thread.

Worth checking in the LEX under Vlakhaas other name colyn otherwise I'll have a look in my plugin storage folder tonight and see if I've ever downloaded it

Somehow I don't have this one either. Maybe @mattb325 has the files?

Uh, I thought that file was another one that REQUIRED the Estado del Vlakhaas, not one that WAS it. In fact, that was the file that made me go looking for the Estado. (The wording is not very clear at all.) Did you get this just by searching or do you actually have this reward chain on your computer and you know that that's the file?

Bonus points, however, for the Professor.

Searching and a bit of prior knowledge of what ripptide made in combination with bls/csx.

The readme, which pops up at the end of the installation process, is slightly different and more in depth than the file description; so after running the installer, it is much clearer that you have just downloaded the estado del vlakhaas lot along with a few other files.

Thank you SO MUCH.

Is there anyway we can get someone to change the description on SC4D to make that much clearer? Or put a sticky at the top of THIS page (and declare it solved in the title)? Because this is NOT public knowledge out there and someone shouldn't have to go through the hour of searching I did to try to solve this mystery.

Now do you know about the "Mancion Abuelo Al OR the plop Destilleria del Hogo" that it mentions is required? I searched for them as well and got nowhere.

same creator, same reward-chain, same exchange

When searching for lots that might be a little less obvious, just type Mancion Abuelo sc4devotion (for instance) into google.

The first entry that is listed is: https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=261

Similarly the Distilleria is here: https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=258

Alternatively, use the power search function on the LEX to search by all of the uploads made by that author and you will be able to visually scroll to find the lot in question.

Now I know a lot of people don't like surprises, but with much of the BSC work, quite deliberately not everything was laid bare in descriptions.

Much was offered as part of curated series, and so on. Many details about your lot may only be revealed upon reading the readme (after having run the installer) or only revealed once the lot is in the city, and even then, you may need to observe it over a full game year, or hover over very specific parts of the lot (or just peak under the hood with the reader) to appreciate the full extent of the modding

 

Edit: yarahi beat me to it

Sounds a good plan to me so this can be clarified that the file is included.

I'll mention @xxdita since I know he's a LEX Admin with the tools to make an edit.

I swear I did just this. IDK what happened. I think maybe I was in the middle of trying to find the Estado de Vlakhass and went "well, if I can't find that, it's moot". (I had like 50 tabs open. It wasn't pretty.)

I have to admit, I really wish people would name their files what they refer to it as, or vice versa. If you refer to the "Estado de Vlakhass", I would never think that "RPT Agave Farm and Plantation (v1.0)" is the file I was looking for. (Nor would I ever know to search for that term.) And I definitely would have never known that Destilleria de Hogo was "RPT Tequila Distillery (v1.0)". 

Thanks, folks.

Can he also put links to the other 2 files that he mentioned (that I asked for and people answered)? I'm of the impression that the point should be to make it easy, keep it simple.
