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 dependencies you wish to install (making no changes here will install everything). Then, click to the Location tab to set up an installation location (this should be the root of your My DocumentsSimCity 4Plugins folder). 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.
It is highly recommended to run one of the 3rd party cleanitol tools and remove any previous versions from your plugins. (The previously in-built cleanitol feature have been removed from the installer because it was unstable)
In the ~Documents folder in the main ZIP you will find the Cleanitol_SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC-VIP Girafe Flora Pack V4.txt or optionally you can find all the individual cleanitol files in the Prop-Texture Catalogue Index and CleanitolCleanitols and by using either the newer nos.17's SC4 Cleanitol or the older BSC Cleanitol tool you can search and remove the old and outdated versions of these files. Again to avoid possible conflicts and glitches it is highly recommended to run either of these tools.

This package has been made possible by the Project ZIP efforts of Tyberius06, and was assembled by Tarkus. Some files here were produced in collaboration with BSC member Lowkee33.
Special thanks for memo for subsequent updates on the NAM/Java installer.

And possibly others who may not have been mentioned. If your name has been forgotten or you're not on the list, then drop us a line, as it has been difficult to keep track of anyone/everyone that may of helped somewhere along the lines.
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. ;-)
