"Cheater Lots"

[Xyloxadoria 1,098]

I am creating what I call cheater lots for my cities.

You may ask, what are they?

Well currently i have two lots. One that will reduce all polution in an area and another one that is a Low pollution Wate to energy Incenerator.

I am posting this thread because I want requests.

Ask for things like whole city schools or desirability increasers.

I will upload the files once i get some more requests, or after i make some of my own. And by the way, all my lots will be 1X1 in size, to save room in your city. Unless you want it bigger.

That's not really special you know...there are a lot of those lots here on stex, but still release them for the people that like to cheat.

[Xyloxadoria 1,098]

That is not the point, I know about all the lots you are talking about. Most of them do more than one thing. So you download it, maybe only wanting one effect, but then they get other side effects that they do not want. The lots i am making are specialized to one effect per lot. And also, you have to start somewhere right?
Anyway, will someone please make a request.

No request here, I just wanted to encourage you to keep it up.  We can always use more contributors to the STEX.  There may be other lots that do the same things but there is a place for single purpose lots and it's nice to have a choice.

I should have some things later this week, my compter is too slow to use, for uploading, so i have to use the school computers duing seminar.

I do not have a request, but a suggestion. To save even more space in your city, make lots that can be plopped on water. I've been thinking about doing this but never really felt like it.

[Xyloxadoria 1,098]

I was thinking of doing that, but then, woe to the cites that don't have water, right, but then it would always be helpful. Now with the new NAM out, I am trying tro make lots that can be used to enhance the new features. I just have to find some way to download it with a 2.5 KB/sec connection that times out after 5 minnutes.

sorry i mean population

[Nenitosoyyo 19]

I have a request, could you make  a lot that boost Res and Com population at the same time and as a 1x1 7 eleven?? Please that would be awsome and maybe some how you could make it Com $ enabled as a plopple not growable.

[Xyloxadoria 1,098]

Well mat_1986 your request cannot be done. The game works by putting <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Sims in houses that are built. All I could do is increase the demand for the houses, but without proper zoning and such there is no way to make population just appear out of nowhere. And please don

Does that mean that there would be no way to create a building, say similar in nature to the Arcologies (which held something like 25,000 people)

Well yes, you could do that, use the Plop Mod (You can find it in the Modding files section) Plopping thoose buildings will give you an instant pouplation boost, but thoose buildings are very tricky to use. The people living in the building won't go to work, so a No job zot will appear and the building will eventually abandon, I could make a lot that would give you a 1,000,000 person pouplation boost that would be like a Plop Mod lot, but it would have lots of problems and it would be hard to manage.

To increase population, maybe you can try to type Plopmatic in the ALl Files STEX search. I remember there is such a file that boost everything (R$, R$$, R$$$, CS$, CS$$, CS$$$, CO$$, CO$$$ and industries) *correct me if I'm wrong*

Good luck!

EDIT: Sorry I can't locate the exact file as the STEX is down.

EDITED EDIT: STEX is up again, and I found the file. It is located in STEX, right here .

I've tried your cheater lots. They seem to work, but when you click on a lot adjacent to it, it still registers as high pollution, even though the haze is gone. Also, there seems to be green sparkles of some sort of pollution.
