List of oversized growables?

[xxdita]

Hi. I've been downloading all of these wonderful lots, but a lot of them just don't grow in the standard zoning. Now, I do understand that you have to hit ctrl as you zone for these larger buildings, but aside from the 8x8 industrials, my mind goes blank as to which buildings need which size lots. Is there a running list of these larger growables somewhere (at least the ones available on the LEX) somewhere? Maybe with a size chart?
I know... get a pen and paper and go through the readme's... and I'll have my own list, but what fun is that?

I'm not aware of such a list - my approach is using the Lot Information Generator (an older version that generates a plain HTML file) and import the data in Excel for further formatting.

I'm not aware of there being such a list also, I do know that some creators (or fans) on the STEX have made files for certain buildings. example: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=18695&v=1 for a complete list of haarlemmergold's work, so maybe these files can help you out a bit.

To create a list of ALL the buildings out there just isn't possible I think, there are many creators out there, not just on the LEX. It would become a list so big that it wouldn't be usefull anymore I think

You could have a look in your plugin folder, for many growable lots the size is also described in the name. Example: CP_R$1_1x2_Early19thCentSmall_1Hse_Seasonal_d1d6a08e.SC4Lot is a growable house from CP's 19th century housing pack, Looking at the name I now know it will grow in a 1x2 lot.

As said by Andreas, you may find a nice tool over at ST in the NHP Tools suite thread in the NHP team subforum which is call SC4LotInformationGenerator

Heh... yeah, I suppose I don't need a list of ALL of them, just the ones I actually have. So thank you for the link wouanagaine. Somehow I'm not surprised that you've managed to create something at least a year before I knew I needed it. 
Thanks so much.

And if he hasn't created a tool you need, yet, just give him an evening, and he will have it done...

Well, aside from reporting about 200 or so errors, I'm loving the LotInfosGenerator. Now if only Wou could make the LotInfosGenerator make its own Cleanitol file to take care of the errors? Actually, I'll keep mum about that, at least until the Xtool is unveiled. Mustn't distract him.
