Changing Maxis residential into static landmarks?

[dirtguru 24]

Can change custom content into static LM using PIMX and Reader. No problem finding the Maxis content I want to use in PIMX. Can't seem to find or match correct lot exemplars for Maxis content in the Reader.

 

For example: I select R$$$54x24_EuroLuxCondos13_0211 [McCormick Place Luxury Condo's] from SimCity EP1 Dat using PIMX, drag to landmarks eye candy but can't find correct exemplar in SimCity 1 Dat to copy. What am I missing?

I want to change maxis low wealth residental to be occupied by medium wealth population. I can't do it with Reader patch option.

Creating a ‘patch’ file is very much mandatory for such modding. Since it’s a very bad idea to modify the original game files directly. That means finding and copying to a new file, all the relevant LotConfig Exemplars (in this case), where the relevant property exists.

I caution you though, if you change all R$ buildings to R$$ then you will break the game. Without any R$ sims, you can not have demand for R$$ sims. Likewise even in established regions, altering this will prevent further R$ buildings from developing and they usually make up 50% of your population. So even as your population grows, satisfying demand for R$ is very intrinsic to the game.
