I found an article on Simtropolis, someone asked 'how to change a plop to grow?'. Andreas kindly pointed out a thread in SC4D of how to do this. Then someone asked, how to change a grow to plop, and the answer was to use Plug-in manager to specify the type of BAT. But, here is the problem:
I have just finished my second Industrial BAT called 'Mitchell-Brinkman Concrete Corporation'. When I released my pulp mill, S54 at Toutsimcity asked me if there is a plop version (not just growable), and I promised to make a plop version for my next release. However, using simply the plugin manager and making a version with plop setting won't work, and here's why.
My BAT was a dirty industrial (I-d), and I spent a long time making the lot, which ended up looking nice. But, in order to make a ploppable version, I would have to make the whole lot again, for the ploppable version, but I am too lazy since the lot was really hard to make! So, my question: is there a way to mod the growable lot, changing it into a ploppable duplicate (still keeping the grow version as well)? I do have a tiny bit of experience with iLive's Reader.
Thank you my friends! :)
SimGoober's tutorial Making a Functional Landmark Lot (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=140&threadid=76236&enterthread=y) is the one you need to read. :thumbsup:
If anyone is interested , I wrote a tutorial for changing into a basic LM.
