Multi-function Placeable Buildings?

[MrDaaark]

Is it possible to make a multi-function placeable building type?

Where I live, it's common to have strip malls every few blocks that include several shops and services. Often the anchor is a grocery or department store, and then there is a line of shops often including a hybrid drug store and post office and maybe a dollar store on the opposite end.

So I'm wondering can I import a building and have it function as a post office, a medical center and a commercial all at once? I realize that I could probably chop them up and make all the modular bits act their part, but I'd rather just make one off placeable malls.

It's possible by using subbuildings. You'd either split this building in several parts, import each part as its own with the function it should have and then place assemble them in the editor into one larger building. Or you could make the subbuildings just be empty or little cubes that are added on top of the main building.

I've been looking around, and it seems that I can't actually have a building like this that functions as a commercial building without a mod like plopable RICO?

Oh yeah, that's true. I've had the mod so long I forgot to mention that. But yeah, growables are pretty limited in what we can do, so you'd need Ploppable RICO for this to work. At least for the commercial part.
