CAM

I have heard a lot about the CAM and was thinking about installing it, but what all do I need to have all these buildings grow and is there a lot of dependent packs that I have to download as well.

To be honest with you....you are better off to start a new plugins folder (in my opinion) and make sure you have a few days to build it up properly.  Go to the LEX, where you will need to sign up as well, and start down loading anything you like that is CAMified.  You'll find most of it will be.  Pay very close attention to the dependencies and take your time.
This is the way I would go if you really want to play the CAM way properly.  If you need anything else just send me a PM or post here again.

CAM main files

In the side bar to your left you'll find a search bar.  Look up any and all items that contain the word CAM, this will bring up all CAMified files.  Down load the ones that interest you.  Once you have  alittle of each gruop, res, com and indust.  give the game a try and have fun.

Also you could visit my MD, I'm talking about playing CAM in my last few updates. 
Shameless plug.....I know.

You can always do it the way I did. I started the game normally with the CAM mod. I downloaded some stage 10 and 11 buildings when I saw stage 8 buildings growing in my city. Then downloaded some stage 12 and 13 buildings when i saw the stage 10's growing. That breaks the downloading into managable chunks.

But I would recommend that you download all the industrial CAM buildings from the get go. Those upper stage industrials will appear quickly in your new city/region.

Any old skyscrappers you may have downloaded from other sites will not function properly (grow at the correct times and conditions) as those are all set to grow at stage 8.

My question is - how big is your plugins? Do you have a lot of skyscrapper non-CAM buildings already? That will create a bit of extra work. Rooker1 gives good advise in that scenario. You may want to reorganize your plugins moving those tall buildings to a different folder.

Good Luck. The CAM is great and totally changed the game for the better (my opinion, obviously)
