new buildings on SC4 (problem)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.simcity (More info?)

Hello,

I tried to use many different downloaded new BAT-buildings to enhance
the game. While the buildings are working, I cannot see the graphics of
the new buildings in the game. Instead, you see for each building a
picture of a package with 'simcity.com' written on it.

What did I wrong? I unpacked several downloaded files and put them into
the plugins-folder.

Have you also downloaded a couple of files you may need to put in your
plugins folder? Check to see if these are in your plugins folder (see below)
They can be found on the Lot Editor page:
http://simcity.ea.com/coolstuff/loteditor/loteditortool_01.php
The first file you need is for SimCity4: bldgprop_vol1.dat
The second file is for Rushhour (if you have it): bldgprop_vol2.dat

These are to make Simcity4 or Rushhour buildings as "props". They are needed
for downloaded lots, and as far as I know, for BAT downloaded buildings.
Usually, when you are downloading a building or a lot, the info screen about
that lot or building tells you which of the bldgprop files you will need.
