There is a sport park (baseball and soccer + playground and parking) that I use as my basic go-to when I need some space & sport in a city  (don't mind the trees, I have a tree replacement mod). The thing shows up in my park menu as "Large Recreational Area", and the icon has something like a copyright sign with "Tiny Guy 2003" . The problem is I can't find the folder in my plugins !  I have a "BASICS" folder which I use in all my cities, and there is no such sport park in it. All my other lots folders are "TREES+FLORA" and "MOAR MMPs" :-). The occasional folder that must be placed in the root folder is always clearly identifiable. And I don't play with Maxis Park stuff.

How can I plop a lot that I find nowhere in my plugins folder ???

So I put it here, just in case someone would recognize it and tell me where to find the original lot link...

    Yes, YESSS ! How come my own search in SImtrop' search engine didn't give any result, with that exact same title ?!?

    Thank you :-)

    Edit : I wouldn't have thought of looking for "lra" in my plugins folder...:-)

    Sometimes it is very much luck of the draw.  I hardly ever use the website's search engine any more, due to inconsistent results.

    To find this I used Google (using Firefox):  Large Recreational Area site:https://community.simtropolis.com/files;  It was first on the list of results.

    Talk about arbitrary:  Using IE and the exact same search, this lot didn't even show up on the list of results.  How's that for a conundrum!?

    Just out of curiosity, I tried searching for "Large Recreational Area" using the website's search engine using the "Files" filter, and the lot showed up 3rd in the list of results.

    As soon as I saw the name of the ZIP file, I figured that was the case.  I would have been in the same boat.

    More search fun:  Using the website search engine, I found the lot about half way down 2nd page of search results.  If I enclose the same search term in parentheses, the lot shows up first in the list.

    So it very much depends on what you use as a search term, and very much depends on the search engine

    gah ? You mean it's not enough to put words in the search window ? :-) 

    Thanks for the heads up !

    ... but it doesn't seem to work for me. You meant the website (Simtropolis) search engine, Exchange category, right ? All I get is Cobb Emerald Park. Exactly how did you word your search ?

    For the website search engine, I used (including quotes):  "large recreational area"

    The other syntax  "Large Recreational Area site:https://community.simtropolis.com/files" (without quotes) was for using Google (and ostensibly other search engines).

    hm. The first one still doesn't work for me on the STEX, (gives me Cobb Emerald Park Building, and that's it) but the other one on google does. I usually just put SC4 or SimCity and 90% of the time it's enough, but I'm gonna use your tip now !!! Thanks. Again. :-)

    EDIT : ah. No, yes:-) it works . If I go to the Advanced Search window. Re-thanks.
