    Could be using the same BAT on two different lots - not sure about having having the same name, though. What download is it? Name or link...?

    It is actually a very good looking BAT, here is the link: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/26352-23-marina-dubai/

    I wish I would understand this better...

    There is a landmark version and a growable version. The lots for the 2 are probably different. This is why you have 2 files.

    Quite simply, there is more to this BAT than meets the eye. There are indeed two versions, very nicely separated. You have to choose which one you want.

    If you want the growable, take the contents of the growable folder and the model folder and put these in your plugins and ignore the other one. Otherwise use the landmark folder and the model folder. I suspect they are mutually exclusive.

    The documentation leaves much to be desired.
