    Hi guys!

    I have a question, please. The "bsc_Essentials_OG.dat" file seems to be needed for many custom BATs/buildings. Now sometimes it is included in a BAT download, so how do I make sure I don't install an old version by mistake?

    Thanks!

    Edit:

    Oh, one other thing. To get the night lighting for custom buildings to work, I need the BAT tool and the appropriate update. However, all links redirect to a abandoned facebook page. Does someone have a valid link, please?

    It is part of BSC Essentials. If it says it is a dependency, it won't be included with the download unless stated.

    Just an FYI...

    You don't need the BAT tool to merely have the night lights appear. The update alone will provide that capability.

    Oh thanks :)

    I was just confused about the filename because often it is "bsc_Essentials_OG.dat" but in the BSC essentials it's only "BSC Essentials.dat

    By the way, does someone know a good guide to convert a plopable building to a growable one? I managed to get PIMX running on a virtual machine, installed SC4 there so it finds all three folder paths. But it doesn't find downloaded buildings, that I put into the plugin folder :(
