Greetings all at Simtropolis, I am Patrick the BLaM Leader as the last acting administrator of BLaM the team that was founded by Mike Dixon Kennedy or OnlyPlace4, ThatMonkeySim, and Mightygoose… It is with sadness in my heart to officially announce the closer of the team… Since the passing of Mike back in May of 08 it’s been rather hard to keep the team running… There are so many reasons that add up to this and well honestly I wish I could keep the team running by myself but realist it couldn’t happen… Batters Lotters and Modders has been a great team with a great vision for the community as whole!!! A lot was done and lot was achieved as well… Many great batters and Lotters and Modders are now out there that started in BLaM!!! So now with that I want to take this time to reflect on the team of BLaM members and say thank you all!!! THE BLaM Crew of the Ages · Pat BLaM Boss · Del BLaM Team Admin · Alfred.Jones BLaM Team Admin · nerdly_dood · zelgadis · North Country Dude · Antoine · Fukuda · Darkeldar · Palpatine001 · Mickytaz · Jayo · dsrwhat316 · SwatMedic · TK666 · Zwabberaar · cowkilla · borealis · warpedone · crtr/dstyr · Lou · seanlax5 · Scipio · Arik_the_Red · SimsReporter · Delija21 · JBSimio · Glenni · Mightygoose · Patriots_1228 · ___idiotbox · DuskTrooper · qurlix · BlondeTwiggy · Seahawkfan · CDI_spy · Van1357 · Frankie_Grove · Shadow Assassin · Crushedcar · Bengt / Krio · KT3 · rotaryspd · TMS · KesslerK09 · shivsood · Balston · Collgab1 · RiverCocytus · Patrick · Gecko · Simen · CGII · Jmyers Founder of BLaM Memorial OnlyPlace4 aka OP4 (The Boss) = God Bless you Mike Dixon Kennedy, Rest in Peace our friend!!! We will miss you all so much and may we meet again some day!!! Final note: As the final note here I want to add that I will be offering the services of repairs to any BLaM lots or products… Any issues that arises and that needs to be directed just PM Patfirefghtr or the BLaM account and I will address them or further you can leave a request here… Also as have been the last acting Administrator of BLaM and a friend to Mike I was given full custody of all of OP4 Bats and lots… So any further concerns on those should be addressed to me here on Simtropolis…

BLaM French Connections Radiused Wall (Brown) This is a unique design from BLaM French Connections. With careful use of shadow, this retaining wall has a radiused appearance. The wall can be placed with the fence at the top or at the bottom. The interesting effect that will be seen, is that with the fence at the top, the wall sections appear convex, but with the fence at the bottom, they appear concave !

Thankyou all for your constructive comments, and for your appreciation. We do agree that the path is a little too square, and this will be modified in our upcoming release "Teddybears Large Playground". This lot does have "People props", but they are not evident in the thumbnail picture unfortunately.

This file contains 91 assorted props that will be used by the BLaM team in forthcoming projects. They cover a wide range of subjects, from flora and fauna, through vehicles, to industrial - plus one or two surprises! One of the most important and unique features of these props, and indeed of all future updates to this file, is that the props have been tagged so that, if you instal a BLaM lot that requires a prop, and you do not have the prop installed, a news ticker message will appear in game advising you of this fact! All BLaM releases that use these props will be enabled to do this, so you need never worry about brown boxes again - well not with BLaM releases anyway! If you use any of the props in this file for your own releases please do not (without our consent) include the BLaM Essentials file with your release, but instead point users to this file as a dependency. File Tracking As BLaM only ever intend to release two dependency packages - Essentials and Textures, it will be very important to ensure that you always have the latest version of the packs. For this reason we highly recommend that you track the packs using the File Tracking option above. Additionally, if you would like to be advised when a new pack becomes available please feel free to subscribe to the BLaM Newsletter. This will be produced at random intervals during the year and will keep you advised of latest updates, news and goings on in the world of BLaM. Subscription to this newsletter does not mean you will be bombarded with spam, but you will be the first to know when new lots are released, and updates are made to the BLaM packs. To subscribe simply send a blank email with the subject "Newsletter Subscription" to blam_newsletter@onlyplace4.com To instal We would recommend that you create a folder named BLaM in your plugins folder and then simply unzip the entire folder within the zip file to this folder.

This is the first release from the BLaM team, and only a little one just to get the name on the map, so to speak. Gerald Grimes came to town as a child and was always getting dirty, so it only followed that when he grew up he went into the recycling business, and now he's never happier than when he is up to his armpits in other peoples waste! You will, naturally enough, find this one in your Sanitation menu. It has exactly half the capacity of the ingame recycling centre, and occupies a 2x2 lot (rather than the 3x2 of the ingame recycling centre). This lot does not replace the ingame recycling centre, and the two may therefore be used side-by-side is so desired. Stats: Plop cost: §250 Budget item cost: §50 Bulldoze cost: §50 Demand created: Jobs $18 Pollution at centre: 4, 5, 0, 0 (air, water, garbage, radiation) Pollution radii:3, 4, 0, 0 Power consumed: 10 MWh/month Water consumed: 10 galls/month Polulation served: 10,000 Recycling centre percent reduction: 10% Wealth: Low Dependencies: none To instal Simply unzip the required .dat file(s) to your plugins folder.
