SC4D LEX Legacy - Mattb325 Civics and Rewards (Maxis N SC4D LEX Legacy - Mattb325 Civics and Rewards (Maxis Nite) HOT

This SC4 Devotion LEX Legacy Pack features the Civic and Reward BATs by legendary BSC BATer Mattb325, which had been available on the Lot Exchange (LEX) at SC4 Devotion. It includes the contents of 82 previously separate downloads. After battling a number of technical issues, software incompatibility ultimately shuttered the LEX (at least in its familiar form from 2007 onward) in June 2023, and this package is designed to collect these dependencies in an easy-to-use form, allowing users to install them all in one go, or carefully select exactly which packs they wish to install.

There are two versions of this package that exist as separate downloads. One (MN) is for Maxis Nite (the default night settings), while the other (DN) is for Dark Nite, and is optimized for use with darker Night Mods, such as the mods by SimFox and gizmo28.

Please note that this pack may receive updates in the near future. Do not redistribute without asking first, mostly as doing so would complicate efforts to properly maintain, update, and provide technical support for the pack.

Installation

This package utilizes a Java-based installer (similar to the one used with the Network Addon Mod), and can also be opened and installed manually using 7-Zip or Keka.

To install it, you'll either need the Java Runtime Environment to run the installer--Adoptium's open-source edition is recommended--or a zip tool capable of opening the installer to allow manual installation. For Windows/Linux, use 7-zip, and for macOS, use Keka.

Once into the installer, after agreeing to the terms for the package, click to the Files tab to select which files you wish to install (making no changes here will install everything). To expand options, click the small "+" next to the name of the section.

Then, click to the Location tab to set up an installation location (this should be the root of your My DocumentsSimCity 4Plugins folder). On the Cleanup tab, click "Start scan" to find any outdated files that currently reside in your Plugins folder that may conflict with this package. Clicking "Backup" will remove these old files to a safe location. (The option to "Delete" them also exists, but is not recommended.) After this, click over to the Install tab, and click "Start installation" to begin the installation procedure. When installation is complete, the tab pop up a message indicating it, after which you are safe to close the installer.

Dependencies

The following files are required in order for the items in this package to appear correctly (i.e., no "brown boxes" or missing textures).

Some Lots take advantage of features from the Network Addon Mod, including Fractional Angle Networking (specifically, the FA-3 angle) and the Road Viaducts, and thus will require the following:

  • Network Addon Mod (NAM)
  • Note that NAM Lite does not contain Fractional Angle Networking or Road Viaducts.
  • Lots with FA-3 options will be noted as "FAR" in the Lot List below.

A few specific Lots in the package use additional dependencies that are not shared among the rest of the package. If you wish for a shorter dependency list, uncheck the boxes for the following Lots.

Urban High School (Education):

Galleria Cruise Ship Terminal (Reward):

  • SC4D LEX Legacy - Mattb325 Multifunctional Stations Prop Pack - DarkNite or Maxis Nite
  • Cruise Ship Terminal (included in this package under Rewards)

Kesher Council Chambers (Reward):

Luxury Clubhouse (Reward):

And to the community itself, we would also like to thank you for your support, making mods such as this possible too. We're still at it after 20 years thanks to you!

And last but not least, a thanks for the Maxis individuals too, for the [paid] work that they did. ;-)
