Listed here and available for download are custom content items used in recent mayor diaries/city journals.

Current publishers are rivit, DocRorlach, shokthrpy, and mrqs.

The included read-me files are not a recommendation - they are a must-read for anyone wishing to successfully deploy the mods and lots available here. Failure to do so may result in brown boxes, CTDs, and other problems.

 

Overview..

rivit on railsAll downloads are in ZIP format and - unless otherwise indicated - contain manual installations. Meaning they should simply be unpacked into the user's plugins folder, perferably in a subfolder. Do check the individual read-me files for more exact instructions, especially for mods - these often have to be in specific folders in order to load in the correct sequence.

These pages are in their infancy - we hope to add more lots, mods, and other stuff as we go along..

If you use the current version of the DIC (Download & Installation Catalogue), then this will be done semi-automatically for you.

Dependencies & Other Annoyances..

WMP CausewaySome of the WorkingMan LOTtery downloads may have long, very long lists of dependencies! Where possible, we will list the URLs for these files; in other cases you will need to search yourself through the usual locations (PLEX, LEX, STEX, TouteSimCity, Capital SimCity, and others). In very, very rare cases, and only when the originating site of a dependency no longer exists, will we make such files available, and then only privately. It is legally and ethically impossible for us to provide such dependencies as direct downloads.

Disclaimer & Support

While every effort is made to ensure that the custom content listed here works and does not harm the game, errors do happen, mistakes do get made. When that occurs, we will try and resolve the issue as speedily as possible. You do download everything at your own risk - no exceptions.
