LEGACY SUPPORT: This Version is considered Legacy as it no longer receives support. It is recommended to use Kel9509 - Census Repository Facility as it is the updated version using the Mod DLLs. Because of the Mod DLLs this version remains available for users using versions of SC4 other than the Digital Windows version (1.1.641) but they will not be able to receive support if problems occur.

The Census Repository's query provides detailed information about the city's residential, commercial and industrial supply, demand and CAPs. Additional information shown includes vacant houses, unemployment, commuters, taxes and educational quotient, all important factors when analysing a city's growth. By hovering above any piece of information in the query, you will get more explanations than given in this readme.

The Census Repository Vault is meant for rural towns and other locations where you want to encourage agricultural growth. It is cheaper to plop and cheaper to run, and employs only 5 over working clerks.

The Census Repository Facility isn't available in every city. You need to have a situation where you must soon provide CAP relief in order to keep your city growing. It needs to be plopped across a busy road in a commercial area. It boosts commercial growth but you don't want to live too close to it. It is more expensive to plop and to run than the Vault, as it employs up to 85 clerks. However, you will get income from sims who love to drive under the glass corridors of this formidable formicarium.

Also do note that the bureaucrats do not take any responsibility for people getting run over while lining up at the entrance, or for cars crashing into the entrance, which foul mouths claim is appearing out of nowhere. And if your name is Harry Potter, go knock the door of some other phone booth.

Significant change to v3.5 is that now the previously included models (the twin towars and vault) are NOT included anymore. As part of the SC4D LEX Restoration efforts and formerly as part of the Project ZIP these models have been moved into the newly formed BSC MEGA Props MISC Vol03.dat, that can be found now in the SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC Common Dependencies package (see dependencies).

This version is an update to the original BSC RJ Census Repository for legacy support and not fully compatible with the SC4 More Demand Info DLL, version 1.3.0 or above, by Null45. The compatible version with the DLL is Kel9509-Null45-RJ - Census Repository Facility v4.0.

Please at least read the installation instructions in the README, since you may have to manually replace one file after you've finished the installation.

Installation:

copy/extract the BSC parent folder into your plugins. If you extracted the ~Documents folder into your plugins, too, it's highly recommended to keep it, but move it out of the Plugins folder.

Please note that there are five (as of v3.5) versions of the Census Repository Facility. These  all can be found in the _DocumentsBSC_ReadmesRippleJet_Census Repository___CHOOSE ONE --- SEE README!!!. Only one, RW_3x1_Census Repository Facility_ZP_ULTRA.SC4Lot is installed in your plugins folder.

Check your NAM folder (My DocsSimCity 4PluginsNetwork Addon Mod9 Traffic Simulator) and the table below to determine which one you should use. You need to manually replace the one in your plugins folder with the appropriate one. Note that you can have only one of them.

The reason for these different files, is the fact that the Census Repository Facility also functions as a toll booth. The different numbers indicate the Road Network Capacity in those different Traffic Plugins.

A Cleanitol file, Cleanitol_RJ_Census_Repository_Facility_v3.6.txt is included in the zip file. It is highly recommended to run one of the 3rd party cleanitol tools and remove any previous versions from your plugins. 
In the ~Documents folder in the main ZIP you can find the Cleanitol_RJ_Census_Repository_Facility_v3.6.txt and by using either the newer nos.17's SC4 Cleanitol or the older BSC Cleanitol tool you can search and remove old and outdated versions of these files.

Un-Installing: To un-install the files, simply bulldoze every lot from this download in your cities and delete the files from the plugins folder afterwards.
