about growing frequency

[Ennedi]

That is true if the blocker is made by removing the tileset, but not if the growth stage is set to 255.

OK, so plesae tell me what can happen if:
1. I will install the No Maxis mod in partially developed region, not from the beginning?
2. I will use the No Maxis mod for some time and then remove it ?

1. As I understand, blockers for particular buildings prevent these building against growth, but they don't affect these of them which already exist in the city (because they grew before we installed the blocker).

Changing the growth stage of a building. From 1 to 3 ... or 1 to 255. As XXdita said, changing the growth stage to 255 is one way to prevent a lot (and consequently a building) from growing. I've done that myself.

But I know for a fact that changing the stage growth of a farm will have a negative impact on previously grown farms. This happens to me all the time in my rural cities as a result of my constant changing, moving, and altering of my farms. I can't say for certain that the same will happen to R,C, or other industrial type zones. It doesn't happen immediately or simultaneously. Within in the first year of game play I'll see a no water zot on my farm. Then the farm will dilapidate and turn crispy black. Then I'll pan and zoom around and bingo another one, then another.

I think there is a better than even chance that other zone types will suffer the same fate. It's an easy thing to check out. Put in the blocker, watch what happens. it won't crash your game and should have no lasting impact on your city so long as you exit without saving. In fact I may try that this evening.

Also - another thing to check and see if there is a difference between a Maxis lot (change of growth stage to 255) and a custom non-Maxis lot.

Those Maxis buildings that have already grown would still be there and be functional.
However, they wouldn't be growing anymore and the existing ones wouldn't upgrade (as if they were marked historical).

The blocked buildings will start growing again, and those that had grown earlier may once again upgrade.
