i have all the files, lots, dependencies and models you're supposed to have and the bixel cam lots won't grow. i grow bunches of other cam stuff so i know that's not it. could it be the file structure? i do have the datpacker and i put a message on their board as well in case it's a datpacker issue versus cam. thanks for any suggestions. deecee

This may be a little too obvious, but are you zoning properly for the Bixel lots to grow? The 2x3 Ho Man Fung Stage 9 should be easy enough to grow, but most of the others require specially sized zones. Try holding down the CTRL key as you zone a few of the sizes for the lots.

hey there - i almost put that i'm zoning for the lots but like u i thought it was too obvious :) i always test a few lots when i download - i like to see what stuff looks like in the game - so it totally surprised me when none of these lots would grow. i tried in a couple different cities and they wouldn't grow there either. i should have the .sc4lot & .sc4desc lots in the plugins directory in this case, correct? i'm new to cam and that confused me initially. anyway, thanks for asking - i should have noted that zoning bit. DeeCee
If there are sc4desc then yeah, you need those. But they're often included in the lot files, in order to keep them where they should be. I've never had a problem growing the Bixel CAMelots, whether DatPacked or not...
Try plopping the lots, using the ExtraCheats.dll (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21118) to see if there are actual problems with the buildings/lots.
i have to be more clear, but it's hard to find the balance between what to put in and not posting a small manifesto. anyway - i too grow bixel lots easily, and i have quite a few sets that i use all the time. it's just THIS particular set of lots that won't grow. i played again last night and things i downloaded before and after the uncooperative lots grew with no problem. i've never used the extracheats.dll but looks like i will be today. i love the look of bixel's lots, or else i'd just chalk up the not growing to something unexplainable and move on, but i want those buildings to grow darn it! i'll try the extracheats.dll and post back the results. thanks for your suggestions. DeeCee
one of the lots grew from this pack so i'm going to wait and hope the others will grow too. thanks for your replies and looks. DeeCee
