Download details

This SC4 Devotion LEX Legacy Pack features the contents by the legendary BATer Skyscraper, which had been available on the Lot Exchange (LEX) at SC4 Devotion. It includes the contents of 19 previously separate downloads from LEX. The used to be LEX versions of these contents were created in mind of using them with the Colossus Addon Mod (CAM).
These contents all have been updated and/or created with SC4PIM-X (X-Tool) and used to be running under the BSC Certified label. The original contents from Skyscraper with the same names may be available on STEX, but those are running under different TGI IDs so they are not identical with contents of this package. This package does NOTreplace nor override the original contents, but in the ~Documents/Skyscraper_Readmes folder each individual readme folder contains the original cleanitol scripts IF you wish to remove the original lot files - USE IT WITH CAUTION, because those scripts also potentially remove the original ploppable versions too. 

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 may 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.

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 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 - Skyscraper CAM Compilation.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.
