I'm back!

[Mikie 9]

Well..  really was banking my pennies on Cities XL to be a replacement.. but clearly it has not ..  put that one on the shelf to collect dust and now back to SC4..

 

Question and a favor.. if I can get someone to zip up their plugins folder for me and email them to me..  or send them thru msn?   I really dont want to go one by one and download everything.. spend 2 days.. 

 any takers?   

 thanks!

Please do not use all caps, and excessive puntuation in the title.  Do not ask game files, or files from the STEX to be sent to you. tungston

i'm afraid this cannot be done without first obtaining permission from every creator of custom content under redistrobution of intellectual property laws.

as many of the creator it no longer frequent the site you will have to do it the old fashioned way.

plus, i question your interest as a city builder if you are willing to use someone elses personally crafted plugins.

Not to mention the email will download so slowly. We can give you links to where to find them & you can go from there.

Yes....I think you should browse the STEX and start over again. It is a great way to start....and it is fun finding new lots that would be great in your city!

permission from every single person?  uhm..  crazy..   yeah i find it very confusing tho cause this plugin wants that mod then you go o that one andit also wants this..   so then your websurfing for about 1 hour and only have 1 plugin.. 

 

meh.. lame sauce..

not to mention the size of the plugin folders.

depending on the user they easily blast trough 1gb and from here on upwards as the sky's the limit... almost.

I'm fair beyond 3gb... not everything in use (thanks to startup manager and a decent organisation of plugins) but all together that's the number

Quit yer complaining and do it the way everyone else has to!

Really though, you have more control over your plugins so you end up benefiting if you do it manually.

Its the same as someone taking things from the STEX and uploading them onto EA's site, not only is it offensive, but illegal.

What is more lame, accomplishing something for yourself or asking someone else to do it for you?

Well considering the fact that many people's plugins folder exceed 2 GB (mine's 3.3 GB) I don't think its viable to sent it "over email." Nor would it be right; you're violating the creator's rights. A few days of STEX and LEX spreeing should be enough to get you back up to speed.

As for the "this plugin needs this which needs this" you rarely have a dependency chain of longer than 3. And once you get the major dependency packs, it gets a lot easier. So get browsing, save time and get movin.

The reason you should not ask for files that by pass the STEX is you deny the creator download count, and deprive the site of traffic.

The creators of custom content have the right to decide where their work can be obtained.
