As sometines happens, files from the various SimCity 4 sites go missing. When possible and practical, we make attempts to restore those files when found. In all such cases, this is done in good faith for the benefit the author and the community. This particular item has been uploaded here under MarcosMX's account as part of the BLaM team as it had been uploaded on the original location. The files are provided in the same condition that they had been in when they were previously available. No changes were made. ** If anyone has information that would help clarify this upload, or if any issues arise, please contact any staff member. Includes files that may be dependencies for other content. MProps Floral Col1 and BlaM MX Props V1 have been combined into this pack. Included: *MPropsFloralDAT *MpropsFloralDAT2 *CustomQuerriesMarcosMX *MX Props FloraV1 If you have downloaded MProps Floral Col1, make sure you delete that so you won't any problems with using this pack. Installation: Copy/Extract the BLaM parent folder into your Plugins folder. If you've extracted the ~Documents folder you may remove it from the Plugins, but keep it in a safe location. It is highly recommended to run the cleanitol with the installer and remove any previous versions from your plugins. In the ~Documents folder in the main ZIP in the Prop-Texture Catalogue Index and Cleanitol/ folder you will find the individual cleanitol scripts for the model packs of this compilation and by using either the newer nos.17's SC4 Cleanitol or the older BSC Cleanitol tool you can search and remove old and outdated versions of these files. Reviewed and posted by staff. **It has been updated, the files were consolidated into a single DAT file: BLaM_MX_EssentialsAndProps_Resources.dat -
I'm not sure if anyone has come across Rob's guide to 8 essential SimCity 4 mods, but I saw it and thought that it may be a very helpful visual guide for installing some of the major mods and fixes for the game such as the I-HT fix, 4GB patch and SC4Fix.dll. One thats wasn't mentioned was the Maxis update files that are on here that are also essential. An aspect of the forums and the site that I am getting on board with is the attempts to make the game more accessable to new and returning players, perhaps to also attract more people to the community and keep the game going. I definitely think that these sorts of easy to understand guides with mod links are essential as a section of the site for new players to easily access if that isn't already available. (I've returned to the site after a few years of inactivity!) I hope that this may help some people!

I’ve almost finished the tedious process of weeding out unused and redundant files in Plugins, and ran SC4DataNode to be sure I was at least close to being done. Alas.... Not at all. Need some help understanding why these dependencies are conflicting: -BSC Mega Props Misc Vol02 overrides BSC Essentials -BSC Textures Vol03 overrides BSC Mega Props Newman Inc, which then overrides BSC Mega Props DAE Vol01 -BSC TexturePack Cycledogg V 01 overrides itself -BSC Textures Vol03 overrides BSC textures Vol02 -BSC Textures Vol02 overrides Mega Props jestarr Vol02 -BSC Mega Props SG Vol01 overrides Mega Props Misc Vol02 -Mega Props CP Vol01 overrides itself, and CP Vol02 overrides Vol01 -Mega Props Misc Vol02 overrides Mega Props JES Vol01 -Mega Props jestarr Vol02 overrides itself -Mega Props MJB Vol01 overrides Mega Props Misc Vol01 -Mega Props MBEAR Vol04 overrides Mega Propa Misc Vol02 -D66 Vol02 overrides RT Vol02

The WMP Essentials v1.0 is a must have dependency pack for all the previously released WMP custom contents by DocRorlach. It completely replaces the previously released wmp_dummies.dat file. This is a dependency package, and it doesn't contain any ploppable or growable elements. DO NOT USE THIS PACK FOR YOUR OWN LOTTING PROJECTS!!! Since the original workingman-productions.co.uk/ website is no longer up and running, the decision has been made, that these contents of DocRorlach's will be re-hosted on the main exchanges (LEX and STEX) as legacy contents on behalf of DocRorlach. For easier access and due to a more userfriendly approach, we put together these mega packs, which are completely replacing the previous smaller prop packs. It is highly recommended to use the attached cleanitol file (WMP Essentials.cleanitol.txt) and remove all the listed contents. The best way to do it, if you use the BSC Cleanitol TM (v1.0) tool. Install the application (if you don't already have), run it, browse the attached *.cleanitol.txt file and let the program remove the listed elements. This Essential file contains following elements from the previously released WMP creations: - all the previously released wmp dummies/blank model files - all the different WMP custom queries and UIs from the prop packs, resource files and lot sets. - all the custom made TE network paths for the WMP lots (the default paths in the WMP Essentials.dat support RHD setup) - Since the original Causeway set and Boardwalk set had the same custom queries, a new UI property (with new IID) has been added which gives a slightly modified text to the WMP Murimk Boardwalks. (NEW!!! WMP Essentials v1.0.1) - as an addition IF you use Left-Hand Drive (LHD) setup, you can find a LHD support file in the Documents folder. You need to place/copy that z___zWMP_LHD_Paths folder into the Plugins\WMP\Essentials\ folder if you used the default/provided folder structue, otherwise it MUST load after the WMP Essentials.dat file. Installation: Unzip the whole bundle, or COPY the "WMP" folder from the *.zip into your plugin folder. You don't need to keep the "_Documents" folder. To uninstall, bulldoze any instance of this lot in your city, then remove the file(s) from your Plugins. For further details, please read the provided readme AND IF you still have questions, ask @Tyberius06. Credits: DocRorlach, the WMP Team for creating these original contents: custom paths, UIs, dummie model files. David (djp) for keeping the original site alive so many years, and letting us rehosting the files on the exchanges xxdita and Tyberius06 (and the STEX Custodian) for putting together the mega packs and making the files available again. Support: These WMP/DocRorlach creations are now legacy contents and therefore their support is very limited, however support from the wider community can be requested here or in the STEX Custodian General Support Topic. Best include a screen-shot illustrating the problem.- 1 Comment

Version v5

TL-Rivit Essentials V5 This replaces completely version 3 and 4 from now on. (you must remove any previous versions of this essentials) Contents of this essentials: · z0_rivit lights – essential light cones and poles on the TL lots. · z1_TL essentials – custom textures which might apear on TL lots. · z2_TL optional lightpole overrides – When usingV4 and above, and if you already have a lighting set-up (LRM or USL), the z2_ prefixed folder should be optional. The first file (RVT ParkLights2.dat) in this folder changes the maxis park light poles to a custom one, it’s an override and makes effect on all of the lots which using the original maxis park ligth with the original TGI ID. The second file (zTariel-LRMv4 US Generic Lightpoles_v2.dat) is a special override version of the light poles from the z0 folder, which have custom nightlite set-ups. By default you would not need this file. · z3_TL Divers – this contains a set of automata turned props, they were mostly used on the TL-SCF-Heretic Modular Regional Airport lots. It is essential to remove the version what was used in the Essentials v4 and only USE the version from v5. They were buggy (in V4) and had an odd side effect on the original automatas (drifting automatas) Installation: Remove any previous z____Tariely Mods or Tariel-Rivit's Essentials folder (particulary these files: · zLightCones_RVTNite.dat · RVT ParkLights2.dat · Rivit BSCTexturesCycledoggVol1Extra2.dat · Rivit BSCTexturesCycledoggVol1Extra.dat from the earlier versions (before v4). Also remove whatever files came with the Tariel-Rivit's Essentials V.04. Place/copy the z____Tariely Mods folder from this V5 into your plugins folder. Additional things which you might need to remove as residues of previous versions: · Z___RRW Reskin Rivit folder – this was released with V3, it’s an older version of Rivit’s RRW Reskin mod, not the most up to date, and if you are using a different RRW Reskin or will use a different one later, this might be conflicting with that one. If you want to use this Rivit version of the Reskin, please, visit his OneDrive and get the most recent one: rivits SC4Resources (latest RRW Reskin Kit) · RVT zNightLighting LRM tweak – this folder was released with the TL-Rivit Essentials V4 and contains a tweaked version of the original LRM. It’s actually mostly an either this or that decesion. You can remove this from your plugins if you are using USL or LRM, or you can remove those. You can also find the original version of this tweak in rivits SC4Resources (this is basicly the very first zip there). It changes night settings to somewhere between Dark Night and Maxis Night. If you are using this tweaked version, then you might want to use zTariel-LRMv4 US Generic Lightpoles_v2.dat from the z2_TL optional lightpole overrides which can be found in this Essentials v5. Disclaimer: the Rivit Lights (more precisely this file: zLightCones_RVTNite.dat) have been recut into this new Tariel-RVT LightCones.dat to work with this essentials and to have less side effect on other light replacement mods. Dependencies (yepp although it’s a dependency it has a few dependencies): MandelSoft's LRM v4.0 – it’s an installer based plugin. For the essentials you only need the models/props installation. You need the following files from this: LRMv4_Models_LightCones_DarkNite.dat (OR Maxis Nite version), LRMv4_Models_Streetlights_Misc.dat, LRMv4_Models_Streetlights_USA.dat BSC MegaProps JRJ Vol.02 – For the jeronij taxi props. Mikeseith modular 8Level Parking Garage – only the Airport Shuttle.dat file is needed from that one. Special thanks to Tyberius and Rivit, who rationalized this new version —it needed it ! And many thanks to my technical gurus, Rsc204, Kosc and Dreadnought. And especially Rivit, who lighted my SC4world and is always generously ready to help. And the guys and gals on the forums (Twalsh, Tyberius06, Matias93, Fantozzi, Cyclone Boom, Catty-cb, Corinamarie, Andreas…). We need help when we begin peeking under the hood of SC4. That the community is always there for us noobies is very comforting. NB : Two other dependencies that I used to include in my upload folders are now more easily available, one on the STEX, NOB Ftexture.dat , in NOB GLR Assortment for NAM and the other, ML Texture.dat. on the net (ML'S One Drive)- 1 Comment

Hello, here is a file, "Delecto Essentials Files", that is required for proper functionality of my future creations. ================================================ V1.0 / January 2014 ================================================ Currently this file contains the following props: "Delecto FootPath Set1" which are located in the Lot Editor under the following names: Del_Path_3m_00 Del_Path_8m_00 Del_Path_16m_00 Del_Path_3m_45 Del_Path_8m_45 Del_Path_12m_45 Del_Path_Curve_A_00 Del_Path_Curve_B_00 Del_Path_Curve_C_00 Del_Path_Curve_A_45 Del_Path_Curve_B_45 Del_Path_Curve_C_45 These Props will receive shadows from buldings and other props (such as trees) and can be joined to form very flexible footpaths. Simply lift them by .1m in the Lot Editor to avoid graphical errors that can occur with flat props and enjoy. =============================================== I'll update this file frequently. so keep an eye on it. Readme included. For any question or comment, please have a look at my BAT Thread. https://community.simtropolis.com/topic/29013-delecto-move-the-mouse-quickly/ Delecto.- 14 Comments

The BNL Essentials is a set of files packed into one upload for your convenience. The set will be updated regularly and will contain all kinds of files that are essential for (most) BNL uploads to work properly. Today, april 1st, 2016, we see version 2.0 that contains the BNL Queries v1.3, some props by MVE and a several new files: the FrankU Essentials V2.0.

The SFBT Essentials contain the custom UIs that every SFBT lot uses, as well as shared textures and prop packs. The file will be updated from time to time, so please check back to this download once in a while. This is the March 2009 version of the essentials installer. Further versions will include the date in the filename as well, so you can easily find out if you have an outdated version installed. The installer will update all files if they are placed in the default folder (\My Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\SFBT\) automatically, otherwise you will have to update them manually and delete outdated files. The readme files contains a list of all files that are included in this version. Unfortunately, the installer programis not compatible with a Mac - a ZIP version of the Essentials is available here.- 26 Comments

IMPORTANT UPDATE 06.05.2025 by Tyberius06 This file contains the queries, and the associated images necessary to display the custom queries linked to by the majority of NDEX lots. It has been updated to include queries for industrial lots and for CAMeLots. Installation: copy/extract the NDEX parent folder into your Plugins. If you extracted the ~Documents folder into your plugins, too, it's highly recommended to keep it, but move it out of the Plugins folder. This upload now is without installer, so MAC users can use it as well by just extracting or copying the NDEX parent folder into their plugins. If you have a previous version of this file in your plugins, and it is not installed in the folder where this update is going, you will have to remove that old file manually. **Bear in mind that as part of the Project ZIP, this file has been extracted from the installer and this version got updated to the same version as on the SC4D LEX SC4Evermore can be found. As part of the Project ZIP efforts this upload now is extracted from the installer, since this file and the rest of the NDEX contents considered as legacy items this will be the final form of this content for the time being. Sidenote: likely the other NDEX contents will get some structural update eventually (and the old unecessary queries will be removed as well), however it is important that players should remove any older NDEX related custom query files and the bsc_Essentials_OG.dat - it is superseded by the BSC Essentials 2021 and above (current version is actually v2025a). ************************************************************************************************************************************ This file is required for proper functionality of nearly all NDEX lots. Unfortunately, due to increasingly frequent updates, we have decided to have it be a dependency for our lots so that we may update it when needed without requiring you to re-download lots. This also shrinks each download's size by approximately 600 KB. This file ("NDEX Global Essentials.dat") has been updated from the one distributed with previous lots. You should delete the one you have in your plugins folder now. In addition, amid much heated debate, it was decided that this file - and this file ONLY - would be distributed via an installer due to the importance of placing it in the correct directory within your plugins folder. Updates will find this file, remove it, and replace it with the newer version when issued, if the files are placed in the default folder. For now, Mac players can temporarily find the newest version in the recent Dakota Park Place upload. I apologize for the inconvenience. Once I get a website again, I will host this file in generic zip format for you to use and will post a link on this page.- 32 Comments

This is NOT a lot, but is used to enhance the BLS GA Farm Fields. We will soon be uploading some nice new farms and new fields along with them. This little file will give new enhancements to the fields which are nice to see. This is a recommended upload if you are a BLS GA farm fan. If not, then don't bother. This little "Enhancement" will only work with BLS GA created fields, it will not work with others unless BLS GA had modded someone elses lot, which I personally discourage. You farms and fields will still work without this mod but just won't have all the cute little features. NOTE: This mod will probably be updated from time to time. You may place this anywhere in your plugins but I recommend you put into the MyDocs\SimCity4\Plugins directory with out putting it into any subfolders. In the event you wish to place this in a subfolder, then just remember where you put it so you can find it and replace it later if need be.- 13 Comments
