TECHNICAL NOTES:
----------------
This modd does not contain any copyright material, nor does it contain any building graphics (hence its size). The plugin contains exemplars that connects to the existing data contained in Simcity_1.dat.

DICLAIMER:
-----------
Users install, run and download those "mods" from Simtropolis completely at their own risk. Maxis and Simtropolis are NOT responsible for ANY errors, crashes, problems or any other issue that you may have if you have downloaded and applied any mod files to your game.

Players should also expect that any future patches and/or expansion packs and SimCityscape "may" NOT function properly with the game if you have downloaded any mods/patches/files and applied them to your game. Also, any technical questions and/or problems that you may have with these "mods", should be directed to the Modd Squad Forum at Simtropolis, and not at the Official Simcity BBS.


THE ABANDONMENT Modd:
---------------------------------
Files included:

1x "ReadMe.txt" file.
6x "Plugin_#year_Abandonment_Modd.dat" files where #=number of years.
1x "Plugin_No_Dilapidation.dat" file.

VERSION 1.2:
-------------
This version addressses an issue which was causing the game to crash under certain circumstances. This should now no longer be the case. Please be sure you remove all previous versions.

VERSION 1.1:
-------------
Includes a modd that prevents dilapidation from $$$ to $$ and $$ to $ demotions. Use the Plugin_No_dilapidation along with one of the Abandonment plugins. The prevention of dilapidation will occur when the building is rebuilt on an existing city.

This modd "does" prevent a building from dilapidating to a blackened state for a max period of 180 years; enough time for a city to recover from disasters like power/water outages.

To ensure the satisfaction of all Simcity Players, different "time to abandon" plugins have been included, ranging from 1 year to 180 years. Select only one of the plugins.


INSTALLATION:
-------------
Copy one of the Abandonment Plugins to 
	c:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4\Plugins

Dilapidation Modd
Copy Plugin_No_Dilapidation.dat to 
	c:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4\Plugins
