The game loads plugins in a particular way
Locations
It can load plugins from two different places:
Install Location
This is where all the main program files are held, including the EXE and the simcity_*.dat files
The default location is
C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4\
and can be symbolised as
%InstallDir%\
Documents Location
This is where the users information is held. it is usually found in
My Documents\SimCity 4\
but can be moved using the -userdir shortcut parameter and will be symbolised throughout as
%LocalDir%
Order
In any single directory it will load loose files first, then subdirectories, and then .dat files.
First it loads the files in %InstallDir%\
Then it loads %InstallDir%\Plugins\
Then %LocalDir%\Plugins\
(but what about maps and the other folders)
