Hello everyone.
I have made separate plugins for different game styles, however I do have a question.
Is it possible to play the same region but have separate plugins for different tiles?
Example on one tile I would play with NAM, CAM and such and on another I would play with SPAM and or MTP also Maxis legacy blockers and such.
As anyone tried this before?

To a certain extend I do this in my region, in that I keep one-off lots, reward replacements and eye-candy separate per city. As long as you keep track of which cities have which content I imagine using CAM & SPAM in different cities won't be much of an issue. It will be interesting to see how regional demand plays out since both affect the rci simulator, though I don't expect major issues to arise in that regard.

Have a read of Plugin profiles / labelling plugins. It explains some options around doing this.

Thank you Vortex and Tropod for the quick reply :)

To clarify I actually made copies of whatever I need to play certain tiles, placed them in single appropriately named folders and when I would play I would just manually move the packages in and out of the plugin as needed.
Having large HD's is a plus because of the multiple copies necessary to make this happen.
No need for shortcuts or a separate launch app.
I will try this on the same region as I said before.
Again thanks for the timely answers.
