    After downloading from the stex, jucing (thank you for File Juicer) & installing a few new plug-ins. Some of the buildings in an exsisting game (CSX transport affairs & others) have since turned to brown boxes. I removed them from plug-ins & installed new downloads of both the building prop files(1,2) & the the lot files, CSX updates 1 & 2 from the BSC MAC archive .Still no luckI also tried moving all prop files to the applications plug-in folder & all the other files to the documents plug-in folder (previously they were in a mixture of both)I would greatly appreciate any & all suggestions. Thanks!

    EDIT I have also checked depencies & all seem to be there

    Try putting all props and textures in a folder with the number 1 at the beginning of the name of the folder, i.e., 1PropsTextures and placing it in the Documents/.../Plugins folder, this will put it at the top of the list of folders, thus ensuring that everything in there loads first when the game is starting up. Since I've done that, I haven't had any brown boxes...

    And double (or triple) check that you have all dependencies, I know everyone says this, but we all miss one or two occasionally...

    Thank you for your help. I have re-named the folder as you suggested.Still have boxes. Checked dependencies as per Readme_CSXSC4Lots.txt;
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Some of our LOTS are created using the Simtropolis building prop modd pack, and will not show up if you don't have this modd pack plugin installed.

    To get the modd pack plugin, visit www.simtropolis.com/modfiles/

    Courtesy of the Simtropolis Modd Squad, do not redistribute the program.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Which I assume to be bldgprop_vol1.dat bldgprop_vol2.dat & as far as I can tell the modd prop from simtropolis no longer exists.Could it have been overwritten when I installed all the props for CSX farms.
