Power/Water Consumed: just what they say- the bigger the number, the more that is used Pollution at center/pollution radii: how much pollution the lot will produce, and how far out it will spread Max Fire Stage: how long it will burn before being destroyed Flammability: higher number, greater chance of catching fire Exemplar Name: How the model will be known in the LE Construction Time: how long (in game days) the building will take to build Capacity Satisfied: haven't used it much, but it deals with RCI demand Bulldoze Cost: how much it will cost to bulldoze the building Building Value: value of the building that will be used to calculate taxes This allows you to define various values for your model:

When you release the mouse, the following screen will pop up. Put the model in there and you'll have a new prop to use. Close to the bottom of the descriptor tree is a selection that says 'Prop'. Note: models can be turned into props for the LE here too. it will just result in some different options later). For the purposes of this tutorial, select 'Stone House' and drag it into the medium wealth residential category (or whatever category you want. This results in all available models (at least, all that are in your plugins folder) being shown and placed in sub categories. This is useful to see longer file names (on the right) or sub categories in the 'descriptor' tree(on the left).īy default, 'models' is selected on the left. Notice the bar the arrow is pointing to: by hovering your mouse over it, it will turn into a double arrow and, by clicking and dragging, you can adjust the left and right window sizes. You will be greeted with the following screen. If not, you may use one of the buildings already on the lot (we'll get to that in a moment) or use one you have made in the BAT.īegin by opening the Plugin Manager. I believe these came with the Lot Editor, so you should have them somewhere too. For the purposes of this tutorial, I have left the following two model files. This will reduce the number of props at your disposal, but will make things easier to work through (and also let the LE load faster). To make this easier, clear your plugins folder. If you just want to work on a lot you may jump down the page a bit (but the stuff on the plugin manager is useful to know too). This tutorial begins at the point you would be at if you had just created and exported a model in the BAT (or other similar tool). You can suggest changes in the Tutorial Requests and Suggestions article.įor this tutorial, you will need the Lot Editor and Plugin Manager installed (as well as SC4 naturally).
