Thanks 1dera3 it is great advice but thank god something I thought of before I started all of this I am making sure they all have their own folders and like you I also have a lot of stuff from simgoober and BSC and CSX set up in a seperate folder with all their uploads! See I have down loaded a ton of other stuff for another sim game I have called Trainz from Auroran to be exact enough to fill a 30gb hard drive from their comunity and I have learned some stuff from that about how to keep it all seperated. I swear some of the stuff that comes from here must also be from some of the creaters there LOL! Dave thank you Athens2004 I do feel welcome! Please try to avoid double posting, Compromise

Vester_DK that is the first thing I try to do is get all of the dependences first before i actualy down load the file I want to have that is why I had no idea what happend to my cities! Dave

Thanks Jonno I kept trying to use the search engine to find it I never thought of checking out the link you said to! See not too bright sometimes LOL! Dave

Okay I have tryed going through some of your forums first to try and find the info myself but I had a stroke and sometimes I lose the ability to understand some stuff that I read unless it is explained a little better! I would like to know first where exactly I can find the exe file for ilive? So that I can make minor changes to the stats of some buildings in rush hour that i down load from here? I just can't seem to figure out how to get it. Second I would really like to know where is the best place to put (dat files) (prop files) as well as (desc & model files) I am asking this because I have noticed that in some of the read me's in the down loads they say different things and or conflict at times with each other. I am just trying to do this right because I down loaded a lot of stuff from here but something screwed my game up and came up with a message that said plug in pack missing in everyone of my cities and as per the forum thread I ended up reading here it said to wipe out the game and start all over again which I am now doing. But I am reloading over 700 zip files now as well as the CD that simtrop sent me for my donation and I would just like it to work right for me because it is taking me days to do without even being able to play the game in fear I will screw something up before I am done. Thanks ahead of time for your kind help! Dave P.S. I really want to thank all of you creaters for making this sim much more enjoyable for me! I am home a lot and games are what keep my mind active and me sain and you have done a great service for people like me!
