This SC4 Legacy Pack features the SC4D LEX Restoration Team-assembled prop packs of popular NDEX Team BATer Ill Tonkso (ITS). Some of these packs had been hosted on the former SC4Devotion LEX (vol01-vol11), while some of them have been freshly made from models that can be found on the Simtropolis Exchange (STEX). These packs were made as an overall preparation for possible future upgrades and updates on the now 20+ years old original NDEX Team lot sets that are generally hosted on STEX. Some of these models were formerly linked for the different core CAM Commercial and Residential sets, which will be/are restored on the SC4Evermore site. This package is designed to collect these models as 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 is expected to receive updates in the near 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:

The following things have been changed for this compilation

• All these compilations are brand new dependency packs covering almost Ill Tonkso's entire collection.
• The previously available volume 1 till volume 11 packs have been completely reworked. The models have been re-groupped and reorganized to cover popular lot/re-lot sets from Barbyw (BSC BLS), Rayden (BSC Rayden), KOSC and others.

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 dependencies you wish to install (making no changes here will install everything). 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.

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/Cleanitols/ 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**.

There are several Prop Catalogue index images as a help for lotters.

**Special Note:
These NDEX legacy dependency compilations aim to address past and possible future demand to cover the main model file dependencies for different CAMeLot and ReLot sets that used to be available on SC4Devotion LEX or yet to be made as future projects. When you run the cleanitol it will remove original DAT files that might have been holding essential growable building exemplars to the original uploads (released mainly on STEX), if those were bundled into the DAT file.
Bear in mind that the plan is that the original LOT collections would be reworked at one point in the future, when the old/original building exemplars would be taken out of said DAT files. These building exemplars are not part of these dependency compilations, and since the removal of those original DAT files (by the cleanitol) could cause issues on the lot files in form of missing buildings, I provided the growable building exemplars in case the original DAT files got removed. If you need any of these, you can find them in each NDEX Legacy Dependency set in the ~Documents/NDEX_Readmes/Back-up Temporary Growable Exemplars/ folder.
