Question about the BSC Block MAXIS Buildings mod

[NASCAR_Guy]

I just want to block commercial buildings is that possible?

[RippleJet]

Yes, fully possible.
There's one file included for each RCI type of buidlings you want to block.

If you only want to block Maxis commercials, delete all files included in BSC Block Maxis, except the following:
    no_CO$$$.DAT
    no_CO$$.DAT
    no_CS$$$.DAT
    no_CS$$.DAT
    no_CS$.DAT

Will it mess up if I already have Maxis Buildings in a city?

[CasperVg]

Nope, those buildings will exist as they were, but no new ones will grow.

I believe the agricultural blocker (Prevent_I-r_Lots.dat) works differently from the other (it's also prefixed "prevent" and the others have a "stop" prefix). When I applied the agri blocker, my existing Maxis farms got them water zots and appeared to be non-functional.

[BarbyW]

The BSC blockers were made by different people and the farms one was released separately by GrampaAl a long time ago. That is why it has a different name and will probably work differently to the others. One of these days I shall have a look

The farm one works just fine IMO (as do the others).
- it is possible to grow (BSC) farms in a pristine region with the I-r blocker.
- if introducing the blocker on a tile which has Maxis farms, just bulldoze them and new farms will grow. Who wants Maxis farms anyway? Incidentally, replacing Maxis farms with BSC farms will increase the # of farming jobs by say 200%.

Really actually I quite like them... Sometimes the BSC ones are just too vibrant. The Maxis ones really - for me - captured the Rural feel (I live in the boondocks, so I am quite familiar with "the rural feel").

Oh, the blocker has missed a building that often grows in the Houston set, I can post pics later... It really annoys me and also seems to show up in the landmark's menu, though I'm 100% sure I didn't DL it (Maxis style filenaming... and it's butt ugly)
