Looking for a compiled, working file with growable lots

Hello guys

 

I know this might anger some people. But at this point I've been downloading plugins and dependencies for 5+ hours and I'm still getting flooded in brown boxes.

CAM, NAM, NDEX, etc etc etc.

 

Might there be a download link / torrent file somewhere with a working plugin-folder? 

 

I'm looking for growable buildings in all sizes and types. They should of course be working with CAM.

 

Thanks in advance

Sorry, but the rule is that Plugins are proprietary to the creator.  Each one would have to give individual permissions.

 

Suggestion:

Scrap what you have, then reapply them, on at a time starting with the NAM.  Shot gunning plugins is fraught with this kind of danger.  You are 100% responsible for reading the download pages and the accompanying material to make sure you get all the dependencies, so you should test after each small group of adds.

 

Always keep the archives you download in a separate downloads directory divided into the subdirectories by maker.

    Thank you for a quick response. See, this was the answer I was afraid to get.

    I might have jumped in to it a little to quickly. I'm overwhelmed by missing dependencies at this point. I might have to just start over from scratch and see where it goes

     

    EDIT:
    Everything was actually working fine for days. I then found LEX? and about 50 CAM growable buildings.. This is where it went bad :)

    Worst part is how some plugings lists required plugins and lists dead links. Some packs are merged into others. Some are renamed etc..

    Look on the LEX for "Mega Props" packs.  These are compiled packs of thousands of dependency files from various people, usually members of the BSC team (the links to all the old small files are dead or locked down, but frequently referenced in old descriptions).  There's still upwards of 40 mega packs in total, but if you get the most popularly downloaded ones (sort the search by Downloads or Popularity) you should be able to cover most of your problems.

     

    Especially look at the authors of the buildings you've downloaded and go after their personal Mega Props packs.

     

    Fortunately textures are much easier.  There's only 3 BSC texture Mega packs, and a few other important packs here and there.

    Thank you. I downloaded CAM Commercial Offices BSC (v. 1.0) by barbyw from https://www.sc4devotion.com/

    I then downloaded the dependencies. 

     

    Hm, but I only just now see there's a lot of dependencies marked with yellow... Hmm... See, this might have caused the initial issue..
