Wheres the mod to stop Maxis buildings from growing?

[Harlequin_666 17]

Can't find it in the STEX. Searched for 'disable', 'remove', grow....

....not an easy modd to find.

 

Thanks...

there one in the modd Files download section to block Agriculture buildings by Granpa Al

theres a new one on the boards that suppose to block Industrial lots...but I haven't used it personelly yet..not sure where it is...I would search using blocker to find it

I think it's a great mod except that the chicago tile set is the one that i am using for the city i am working on right now

Oh, one question, what happends to custom buildings that use the chicago tile set, do they not grow???

[Tolomar 5]

the mod just throws all Maxis buildings into the chicago tile set..if you leave the chicago tileset on...all buildings will grow...so far the only buildings i have incountered that are custom content, that mod actually blocks also...are buuldings that were made by lot makers editing original buildings and saving the file without changing the file name (aka overwrite files)

 

you can take the mod in and out of the game...as it doesn't affect the buildings or their function, just blocks the game from being able to choose them to grow

 

though if you want to play with the mod on...better have a complete list of lots in all wealth levels and stages or you could exprience stagnation in your city as the game is not able to build something that is high in demand...cuz theres no building to satify it

 

I play with all the tilesets on all the time anyways myself

 not aware of any effects to buildings that are tied to a certain tileset...honestly...i have no idea...I personelly don't mod...this mod was made by Tropod...cuz i bugged him to death for it...

Thanks...

 

Now I just have to hunt down that industrial blocker....need keywords or something in the STEX to find things better

[Tolomar 5]

the ind blocker not on the STEX (or at least i haven't seen it there yet)...it's attached to the bottom of a post on one of the threads

 

search the boards, use Blocker

Actually some of Gascooker's buildings do not seem to grow in my cities. I don't see his industrials growing and the High Street CS buildings don'T grow too.
Okay It might be that that I don't play very often..

And for those too lazy to search, here is the post/thread:

And BTW, I have slightly tweaked that modd of yours, tolo, to totally block all of the other Maxis C and R buildings. Since there is such a huge list, I did not complete it(I only have the low wealth stuff to go, since on can easily tax those out, anyway). I will probably release it, as soon as I get permission from tolo/the original creator, or whatever.

Excellent, and thanks for the links. I think I also saw a modd that removes all the Maxis parks from the parks menu

 

Best modd would be one that removes ALL Maxis items from every menu...hehe

 

One thing, how do you disable this Chicago tileset? I don't see tilesets in any SC4 menu anywhere...

 

Right now I only have the SinGoober stuff downloaded, but when I put a small test game up I was(I think) getting some of the standard stuff like Small houses and Small Shops. Guessing these are part of the said Chicago tileset?
