Hi everyone, 

I have posted about this before, but thought I would try again. I am using a Mac, the app-store version. I use many mods, most of them work, it's all good. The problem I am having is that I would love to be able to get the 560 buildings of the game as ploppable, landmark versions. I don't care if they don't have people inside, or jobs, or anything. I have been trying to build this region, and I spend half my time just trying the computer to do what I am looking for. I don't really care to play the game as is, I just want to plop the buildings I need where I need them, and I am so tired of wasting hours waiting for the computer to guess which buildings I want where, then "make historical." 

My question is: does anyone know how to make these mods? How to turn the 560 maxis buildings into landmarks to plop inside the city? 

Like I said, I use MAC, and I do not know how to make mods. At this point, I have been trying to find this for so long, I would be willing to do some sort of trade, including paying somebody, if that's what it takes, to make all the buildings as landmarks and send them to me ready to use into my plugins. Does anyone know how to do this and want to help me? 

I really apologize if this breaks any rules on here about sharing contacts or talking about money, I just know that all the people who know how to do this are probably on this forum, and I am kind of desperate at this point, and would love to get this done once and for all. 

Thank you all, and sending everyone best wishes.

We've allowed similar requests before and simply stress that Simtropolis the site, its owner, and its staff make no guarantees of any kind with regard to either side of the transaction.

I used to know the difference between growable and ploppable at the exemplar level. However, it's been a few years since I dipped my toes in that water. I wonder if I could automate that with Lua coding using Reader 1.5.4? (Don't count on me for it tho, but I might take a peek if someone else doesn't do this first.)

    Thanks for your reply! 

    Yeah, honestly, what you wrote makes zero sense to me. I don't know how this coding stuff works, and so I have no conception of how difficult it would be to turn these buildings into ploppable landmarks on a Mac. I would love to learn how to do it, but I don't understand the sophisticated coding language. Would you or someone you know be able/willing to show me how to do it, perhaps, on a Mac, so I could do it for myself? I would be happy to pay you for your time. Thank you!

    The only one I am aware of is the following mod, and I don't know if it works on Mac.
