I've been checking out some of the bat files on the stex. I'd like to use some of the other buildings, but don't know how. Also, what's the use of plopable buildings? Are they just eye candy? I read somewhere they don't have commuters.

All buildings are the same as far as instalation goes, just put them in you pluings folder (My Document/Sim City 4/ Plugins) Buildings that arent Bats might have special instriutions for use, so read the description or readme and it will tell you waht you need to know.

Aslo, plopablbe buildings are eye cadny but most of them have benefits. They will imporve desirablity, reduce pollution etc.

Many of the bats on the STEX come with plopable landmark versions as well as plopable versions with jobs. As far as plopable residential buildings with residents go, the sims tend to move out after a short time, so it's best to let the residential bats you get grow. (most won't even come with plopable versions.) You kknow if it is merely eye candy or not by querying the building. If it has jobs you will know.
