As I understand it from reading the simsettlements.com forums, there is a bug in Transfer Settlements (which city plans use during the design phase) which prevents the esl version of IDEK's being written properly into the city plan. There was also a bug regarding plots that had the 'player select' tag, the current version of simsettlements addresses the latter, and the former is apparently in the works for a future version of TS. Now I'm not actually sure if making a plan using the esp of IDEK's will allow a player with the esl installed to have automatic building. Whatever, to answer your question, I'm referring to a situation that applies to every city plan at the moment.
Damn. I wonder if it affects Sim Settlement Add-on Packs that are esl's. Transfer settlements don't usually have an issue if you go into the .json file and replace it with .esl (or if it's merged into another plugin, that). I'm not sure how to edit esp's like I could the blueprints
The first issue from the simsettlements forums I mentioned was just about IDEK's plot not auto building, I guess it's possible that plans designed with other esls might have the same issue. The logic of the bug behind IDEK's not building wasn't specific to that plot, it did seem to be an issue with TS exporting according to the simsettlements author. I have to admit to not fully understanding what happens if I design a plan with the esp, so no TS issue, and the player has the esl. I'd like to think that as long as the esp and esl both have the same name then the plot would build (Designer's Choice that is). I might double check that at the simsettlements forums.
