• Download the .zip files into a separate Downloads directory with a subdirectory for each source or author
• Unpack it in place, or run the .exe. The .exe will place the mods properly
• If there is no .exe, move the .dat, .sc4lot, .sc4desc, and .sc4model, or any of them, into a similar structure in

C:\<user>\Documents\SimCity 4 ...\Plugins. or where ever your game sets up its user environment.

In no case put anything in the Program Files area.

I suggest you spend a little time with the Omnibus. All this is there and much, much more.

It doesnt let me extract and save things into that map.

The game refuses to put them in there!

The map is named Plugins.

EDIT:

I realized where the problem was.

I tried to download the cc in GAME not in simcity4 folder!

Well, thanks anyway, A Noony Moose...

The game has nothing to do with it. All this is manipulation using the file system (windows explorer). Because of the size of the lists, I am reluctant to display my layout, but here you are:

72 directories

Note, I have omitted the files from this list, but the directories have hundreds of files attached. This just shows the basic structure.

You'll notice that every directory in downloads does not appear in Plugins. Some of the items are programs and some of them have nothing to do with the game. If you right click on a .zip file, windows explorer should give you an option to expand it in place. In this situation, not knowing how to manipulate the file system is not a good thing.
