Hi

I decided that its time again to clean up my Plugins Folder because its too full, but i am running into a Problem. I have a few LOT's with the Name "Open Grass Area" which serves no purpose, but i just cant find them in my Plugins Folder (they are not Maxis defaults). My Question is, how can i find these Lots, is there a ingame command where it displays the LOT ID (this would really help), or anything else?

Thx

You'll be able to retrieve the lot ID via detailed query. Hold ctrl+alt+shift while you query a lot, this will generate a query.txt file in C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4. If you open this look for the 'configuration: name of lot_ID'. For easier viewing of this file you could use this neat little tool Cogeo made.

Note query.txt is updated each time you query a lot, however you can open and read it while the game is running.

I get the ID, but i still cant find it, not even the LOT Editor &mmm

How is that possible...

Hm yeah, you probably need to identify the lots in the Reader as the reported number in the query.txt is the Instance ID.
