Hi, does anybody know what the grading criteria is for Big Ben's Top Ten CJ? I want to win, but I don't know what the different aspects of it are. I understand is a scoring formula based on a number of things judged, but what are the things he's judging? Any info would be great, thanks in advance.

It seems there are a lot of very good questions about preferred Modds. If you go to the STEX, on the left hand menu, under Categories, there is a category for Modd Files. Clicking it, then clicking Most Popular, at the top of the STEX page, will bring up the most popular modds. Nifty, eh? The NWM, SAM, HSRP, and RHW are widely accepted, IMO, no argument there. Road Wizards, please accept our humble thanks. At any rate, aside from that, I thought I would list my top ten favorites and their designers. It was a difficult task, but fun, nevertheless, since I've gotten a bit silly. I would invite everyone interested to list theirs. To specify, I am not talking about BAT's or lots, or even tools, really, but simply Modds. OK, here we go... 10. The Yellow Pause Thingy Remover By: The Legendary Quilted Llama So nice for shutter bugs who live to share their pics, and without that ugly border--who needs it! 9. BridgeHeightLow&Suspen By: The Epic Joerg The Bridge Height Modd, spelled here as it is in my Plugin Folder, (again, fussy spelling is not a must) is something I know I will never be able to play without. There will never be another ridiculously steep bridge approach in my cities. Ever. Again. 8. Day-Night Mod v2.0 By: The Famed Gizmo It makes those wishy washy, pale Maxis nights dark and lovely. I am flirting with the idea of trying The Esteemed Sim Fox's Night-Day Mod, but you will always be my first. I wonder if I would long for The Distinguished RippleJet's Longer Nights Lights 1.0 and Brighter $ Street Lights 1.0, that are made for Gizmo's modd, Oh, dear. 7. Extra Terrain Tools By: The Fabled Teirusu I AM the Rainmaker, the Land Bridge Builder, the Master of all I survey. Also, more Additional Terrain Tools by Tropod. 6. GodModeInMayorMode By: The Celebrated Warrior The God Mode Tools are right there beside the Mayor Mode Tools, 24/7, no flailing about with the Ctrl Alt Click on the... whatevar. It's a miracle! 5. Radius Doubler and Industry Doubler, in a Dead Heat! By: The Respected slightyslack, and The Equally Respected bones1, respectively. No more driving through endless miles of industrial complexes and unending bureaucracy of multiple civic facilities. Hurray! (There is also an Industry Quadrupler lurking about somewhere, by The Acclaimed Toroca, but a highly respected source claims it is unbalanced. I doubt it, tho.) 4. SlopeMod By: The Renowned Ennedi I have three interchangeable versions, Mountain, Medium, and Smooth. Jealous much? 3. Hole Digger Lots By: The Great Smoncrie Ditch digging was never this fun. The similar modd by The Revered Shadow Assassin is right up there, tho. I said Revered, not Reverend. 2. SFBT Street Side Mod and JRJ Street Side Mod, neck in neck! By: The Prominent Andreas and The Eminent Jeronij I can't decide which is better. I take turns using them. They changed the look of my cities so much that my eyes literally bugged out of my head the first go 'round. And...last but not least...the customary drum roll please...thank you. The... Number... One... Top... Ten... Modd... According to me... 1. The EXTRA CHEATS DLL!!!!! By: The Immortal Buggi (Or maybe Maxis...we're not sure...it is rumored that Buggi may have worked for Maxis...but...he is missing...I think...not to gossip, or anything. It's all in here, folks, the magic snake oil of SC4, every cheat you could imagine and some you can't, even some that aren't really cheating, honest! It is guar-an-teed to make it snow, change your name, show your paths, crash your game, rock your llama and raise your life expectancy. Erm, well, maybe not that last one, but ya never know. Honorable Mention: culdesacmod, by The Notable quirlix; Immortal Lot Killer, by The Distinguished RippleJet; Persistent Automata Modd by The Well-known shadowman131, tweaked and uploaded by The Even Better-known jeiman2008, and all the lovely terrain, rock, and water modds created by Many Talented Individuals. Other Game Fixes and Modifications: by Cougar2004 If you have any questions about a modd I've listed--where to find it, what it does, how to use it, please PM me. I'm sure I've forgotten or not mentioned many, please list your faves, and discuss.
