How do I change the growth stage of a building?

Hello Community,

I would like to know how can I change the growth stage of buildings. I have recently downloaded a bunch of them, but I believe the growth stages of some are really exaggerated...

I tried to edit the respective property in the .ld file's dropdown list, but it almost always returns an error. What other options do I have then?

In case it's important - I'm not using CAM.

The growth stage is a property of the LotConfig file. LD files are actually not editable and frankly are junk that serves no real purpose anymore. When I find one, I delete it from the file (optimisation), just as DATPacker does if it finds them.

Ok, found it. But what do the 0xXX values correspond to...?  0x05 = fifth stage... or not precisely?

It's a number, only in Hexadecimal, if you want to edit such with Reader you can enter a normal decimal value and it will convert it to Hex for you. 0 through 9 should be obvious enough, then comes A through F representing 10 through 16. Things get a bit more complicated thereafter, the Windows calculator has an option for a Programmer mode which can convert Hex into Decimal and vice versa and can be handy. But yes 0x05 is 5 in this case, the 0x0 is just a formatting thing used with Hex.
