Modifying your SimCity 4

I can help you out with the industry.

The link below is a complete collection of jestarr's industrial bats and props. This is a must have for any industrial fan. Please note you will need to be a member of the LEX to access the content. Search for members and jestarr if necessary.

All Jestarr creations at the SC4Devotion LEX

 

Next up is T Wrecks and his Industrial Revolution Mod plus the three filler sets.

Another important source of industry would be murimk. In particular his Diagonal Industry and Fillers.

Mention should be made of Bipin's industrial essentials.

For warehouses FrankU's warehouse set is most useful...

For more industrial themed buildings look into the utility power, water and garbage categories of the LEX.

Having a browse through fukuda's files always yield some gems:

I also recommend the NYBT ABBT project (https://community.simtropolis.com/profile/467876-abbt/content/?type=downloads_file) and SimHoTToDDy (a little taster- https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23431-bsp-gleaners-community-food-bank/)

 

SimCity Polska has some amazing industrial BATs, here are some of the best:

Other people I recommend looking into are:

Simmer2 creations at the STEX and the LEX

CityNut (from the LEX, this is a little taster- https://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1549) And this one the full list

ionionion (Gravel MMPs- https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/25709-omco-filling-gravel/

paeng (he has many industrial relots and modular industrial lots), his full STEX archive is this one

 

Of course any kind of industry needs effective fillers:

1. SFBT's diagonal fillers- https://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1197

2. Jeronij's retaining walls- https://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=131

3. Gn_leugim forest parks- https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/19429-forest-parks-ver2/

4. Paeng's Grunge Concrete- https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/26425-paengs-grunge-concrete-set/

 

There are other goodies but sometimes the best stuff is worth searching for- plus I have my secrets!

Hint: Whoever can find Bripizza's Fukushima BAT will get a gold star!

So that's where it was!

One Rep Point for you!

How about the city hall tree fix? I had found it but I forgot the place.

It looks to me like that is done in two parts: All 3 CityHalls Modd Reward fix and City Hall Fix with the 2nd one being the companion file to fix the trees issue. There is also the Real Upgradeable City Halls 1.1.0 which is a DLL that restores Maxis's original intention of having the City Hall upgradeable rather than as 3 separate rewards. One needs to chose either the first two files or the DLL, but not both.

No, it's not I mean. I mean, where is the city hall tree 'bug' fix. The tree in the city hall is chose random but MMP addition makes the selection weird. For example, if you had bulldozer MMP, the City Hall might chose that 'tree' and making the City Hall unpleasant.

Thanks.

And from the file description:

Quote

You may have noticed that custom trees or other objects appear in front of the in-game city hall when you have custom mayor mode tree mods installed. It seems that some of these items use the same ID as certain in-game flora props. I removed those flora props from the city hall lot and replaced them with two standard maple trees.

^ Bold added.

It sure seems like that's what you are looking for. (I've not personally used it so I can't say for sure tho.)
