Did you go to 404 page when clicked a STEX link in Dependencies page? If yes, you should change the link to this format:
community.simtropolis.com/files/file/<ID>-unknown
Instead of, simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=<ID>

If don't work, it's normal since ST deletes some files from the Exchange. You can search the Exchange for plugin you want or Google it to find alternative links.

For someone who interesting to make automated STEX links converter, just PM me. I'll update this post ASAP.

I hope, this note is useful for beginners. Thank you.

Alternative way is type SIMTROPOLIS << any numbers >> on Google search engine! For the numbers, check any files with numbers likes 123456 (example) and you found them! I use them after clicking oldies Simtropolis link likes www .simtropolis .com / <any> will results 404 File Not Found! (Note:- I make space between characters to avoid direct to real URL).
I loves Sim City forever!

I have given up on keeping STEX links up to date. It has changed quite a few times.

I use the same method as AsimPika.

I think what you're suggesting already exists: https://st.worldscapemc.com/

I'm not sure who made it, but it's proven handy for me.


EDIT: On "closer" inspection, it may have been "Built by Samerton"  ;)
