Downloading question

[97Z71 0]

I can never figure out how to get my downloaded building onto the game, what are the steps to doing this? I have managed to get 2 or 3 building onto the game; however, the buildings that i was able to get onto the game, when i open the buildings' files there was an icon for a picture of the building, i do not think this means anything but that was the only buildings i was able to get onto the game, please if someone could give me the steps to get buildings onto the game that would be alot of help, thanx

Some buildings are plopables, meaning they appear in your menus. Which menu they appear in depends on what the building is. If it is a RCI plop, they will usually be in the Landmark, Reward, or Parks Menus. Other buildings are growables, meaning the game will develop them in your zones when the conditions are suitable for it to exist. There really isn't any way to force growables to appear, unless they have a unique lot size (ie 6x6).

You extract the download using Winzip,WinRAR etc. into your MyDocuments/SimCity4/Plugins folder OR Program Files/Maxis/SimCity4/Plugins folder and they should appear in game. If this doesn't work, the building you are trying to download must be a growable which means you have to zone some Residential, Commercial or Industrial zones and get to the required stage to make it grow OR it could be a reward which means you have to meet some requirements before you can use it in your city. If the building you downloaded comes with a ReadMe always read it as it contains useful information on how to get the building into the game. Hope this helps. Welcome to Simtropolis!

I have tried extracting the file into the corect simcity folder, and i have tried this with landmark and rewards buildings and i still cannot seem to pull them up, i know this is a very easy process and i probably sound like a dumb ass but i just cant figure it out, and i have seen on some peoples folders about the region they are building and have seen like these water edge walls that buildings or roads can be directly next to the water and i have seen some different highway interchanges and i was wondering where i could find these at, any additional help would be great, thanx
