How to determine BAT useability?

Hello Community,

I was wondering if there is any good way to determine whether a custom-made "growable" downloaded from the page will work properly in-game?

My main concern are the technical considerations - if the building has actually been designed correctly and responsibly, allowing it to actually grow if conditions are right.

Of course, the obvious answer is "test it yourself". However, in some cases, this may mean a rather long wait if the city one is building is too small (or, too large for that matter).

So in other words, is there a tool which can run through BAT files and return a "verdict" of whether a file is gameworthy or not?


The "SimCity 4" vanilla Opera House is the most evil thing in existence. Avoid.

From my experience, if building stats were created by PIM-X, it will work properly in game (99% time). Just open Reader ald check if building have property "Filling degree".

Otherwise, it is hard to tell. Also, old lots (especially with blank models) always need careful check.
