This SC4Devotion LEX Legacy Pack features the contents of an old project called PIMX'd created and managed by some of the BSC Team members (CasperVG, xxdita, ScottFL and Rayden), which had been available on the Lot Exchange (LEX) at SC4 Devotion. The used to be LEX versions of these contents were created in mind of using them with the Colossus Addon Mod (CAM). It includes the contents of 12 previously separate downloads.
During the SC4Devotion Restoration efforts, many of the very old original ploppable lots available on STEX got also updated and resurrected in this compilation. 
All the lots have been updated using the SC4PIM-X (X-tool).
There are two parent folders, you may install/extract both of them, if you have the Colossus Addon Mod installed, you may only install the BSC parent folder if you don't use CAM.

After battling a number of technical issues, software incompatibility ultimately shuttered the LEX (at least in its familiar form from 2007 onward) in June 2023, and this package is designed to collect these dependencies in an easy-to-use form, allowing users to install them all in one go, or carefully select exactly which packs they wish to install.

Please note that this pack likely will receive further updates in the future. Do not redistribute without asking first, mostly as doing so would complicate efforts to properly maintain, update, and provide technical support for the pack.

CHANGELOG:

• general clean-up
• all the lot have been updated with SC4PIM-X (X-Tool) again
• EN_Industrial_Building_Kougyouteki_Resources.dat has been added as included dependency. It can be found in the _Resources folder. It replaces the original model and prop files from BriPizza's EN Kougyouteki NANIKA upload.
• xxdita's relots have been restructured as the original IDs were used for the relots. In this pack the CAMified (PIMX'd) contents got brand new IDs, the included original landmark and plop with jobs lots have been removed. The original release of the fukuda's HIDP Single Furnace Steel Mill has also been updated on its original download site, which contains the updated plop with jobs file.

INSTALLATION:

This package utilizes a Java-based installer (similar to the one used with the Network Addon Mod), and can also be opened and installed manually using 7-Zip or Keka.

To install it, you'll either need the Java Runtime Environment to run the installer--Adoptium's open-source edition is recommended--or a zip tool capable of opening the installer to allow manual installation. For Windows/Linux, use 7-zip, and for macOS, use Keka.

Once into the installer, after agreeing to the terms for the package, click to the Files tab to select which files you wish to install (making no changes here will install everything). To expand options, click the small "+" next to the name of the section.

Bear in mind this Lot Collection contains lots which will only grow/work if CAM (Colossus Addon Mod) is installed.
In this installer the CAM folder (which contains the CAM lots) is NOT selected by default, if you play with the Colossus Addon Mod and wish to use these CAMelots you need to select the folder manually when you run the installer.

Then, click to the Location tab to set up an installation location (this should be the root of your My Documents/SimCity 4/Plugins folder). After this, click over to the Install tab, and click "Start installation" to begin the installation procedure. When installation is complete, the tab pop up a message indicating it, after which you are safe to close the installer.

To avoid conflicts, please, it is highly recommended to use any of the third party cleanitol tools and remove any previous versions of the lots from your plugins.
In the ~Documents folder in the main ZIP in the Prop-Texture Catalogue Index and Cleanitol folder you will find the Cleanitol_SC4D LEX Legacy - PIMXd Collection Vol01 V1.txt and by using either the newer nos.17's SC4 Cleanitol or the older BSC Cleanitol tool you can search and remove the old and outdated versions of these files. Again to avoid possible conflicts and glitches it is highly recommended to run either of these tools.
