Bcs packs question

[skinnykenny6066]

Hello everyone I am fairly new to morning and am a little confused on what I need to download I'm looking at the different volumes of bcs texture and prop packs and was just curious do I need to download all volumes or just the latest volume?  I'm trying to avoid duplicates but didn't kno if the volumes were all different or if they were just updates as time went by.  Thank u in advance

Volume 01 holds different textures/props than Volume 02 ect.

The BCS packs can be pretty huge.
In theory, each pack has different textures/props, in practice there is a small amount of repetition between packs.

The good news is that only the most current packs are on the LEX. You can't (in theory) download a BCS texture/prop pack that has been merged into a mega-pack.

Eventually you will need the majority of the mega-textures/props, I would just search the LEX for BSC mega and grab everything that didn't specify it was for canals/bridges/snm/etc unless you plan to use those.

make sure you use the Cleanitol (before you install the pack).

These BSC packs are dependencies: they hold models, props and textures that are neede for certain lots to look complete in your game.
So my advice is: find out which lots you want to use in your game. Download these, install these. The readmes tell you which dependency packs you need. Download these and install them too.
And I'd put all these packs into one large subfolder (I call mine: Dependency packs), so that you can easily see which ones you have already, so that there are no doubles in your folder.

Hope this helps. If not, don't fear to ask more. It can be daunting when you are a starter with this stuff.
