Ok, I have a few problems with the two files I downloaded off of the LEX.
1. Why is there a cop car file included in BSC MEGA Props - KevDan25 Vol01.dat? I have PEG's Cop Car mod installed and this overwrites the Police Car that I had selected (NYPD) somehow. Is it possible that it can be updated to not overwrite the cop car file? Or do you think it might be a loading order problem that I have here? As of right now, here's where I have each file installed:
C:\Documents and Settings\Default\My Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\BSC\kevdan25\BSC MEGA Props - KevDan25 Vol01.dat
D:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Plugins\Compressed Folders\PEGPROD.dat
Does the Plugins folder in the default directory you install SC4 load first and then the Plugins folder in My Documents? If so, that would answer this question right there and I would move just PEG compressed folder into the My Documents area to fix this myself. Any help on this part would be appreciated.
2. I think some of the files on the Cleanitol files are missing. Case in point, I loaded the BSC MEGA Props - KevDan25 Vol01.dat file in SC4Tool and I found the McDonald's Highway sign there. However, it wasn't one of the files listed on the Cleanitol file.
2A. Also, while looking at the remaining files that the Cleanitol files from both downloads didn't ID, I found a few that it missed in the Growable areas that might be needed to be added to the Cleanitol if updated. I even found some models that the Cleanitol missed. Here's the list of the files below that aren't labeled with a LM in the file names. Are all of them safe to delete?

3. Are there going to be updates to the rest of the plopable files of KevDan25 restaurants? Or are the current files up to CAM standards?
4. Why wasn't Burger King updated with the rest of the restaurants? As far as I can tell, it wasn't included in the mega pack.
Ok, that's all of the questions that I have right now. Thanks for taking your time reading this post and I hope to hear any response you guys might have.
I also observed that there has been a change in the Cop Car in my game, but didn't know what to attribute it to and didn't want to complain or ask as I rather liked the change. :P
Also, I know that Burger King was not updated or included because it is already available on the LEX. I don't know the reasoning behind not running it through the X-Tool and am sure someone with more information would be able to answer that.
I am sure the growables have been put through the X-Tool and were thus brought up to standard (with crazy job figures), but I don't know about the ploppables (functional, I take it?).
As for the Cleanitol file, I didn't use it because I didn't have any Kevdan25 LOTs installed so I won't be of much help there either.
I'm sure someone will come along and answer your questions. I think Tage / Barby updated them? ;D

The cop car was included as no changes to the models or lots have been made from the originals. All that has been done is to separate the models and props into one pack and the lots into a second. To ensure that Peg's cop car mod overwrite this one you need to have Peg's load after this so in a folder starting with z_

Apoligies for the omissions. This was a joint effort between jplumbley and me and I missed adding some of the files to the Cleanitol files. They are all safe to delete as all are in one pack or the other.
Quote3. Are there going to be updates to the rest of the plopable files of KevDan25 restaurants? Or are the current files up to CAM standards?
The ploppables are not currently under consideration for updating. The originals are not up to CAM standard but they require considerably more work than the growables.
Quote4. Why wasn't Burger King updated with the rest of the restaurants? As far as I can tell, it wasn't included in the mega pack.
As it is already on the LEX it has not been included in the packs. It will be updated at some stage.
Thanks for the answers Barby. Appreciate it. :thumbsup:
