what determines asset level?

[EldoInTheWeeds]

There are some great commercial (low density) buildings that are only level 1 or 2 so when the building increase to level 3 they disappear. I'd love to make my own level 3 versions so they will stay around. is there an easy way to do this?

The buildings I want as level 3 are real-life ones like Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Popeyes, Ikea, Best Buy etc. basically all real-life retail businesses.

I would suggest using the Control Building Level Mod.

I saw that Mod but it looks like it has some issues.

What issues? It works fine for me, using it since first day of subscribe.

You can use Building Themes for this. It has a clone option, so you can clone it for all levels. Another option is to use ModTools and change the level of the asset in the asset editor.

I tried using the clone feature of the Building Themes Mod and it crashed the game so I uninstalled it. I tried the RICO mod and it works but not all the assets I downloaded show up in the menus. If that can get fixed that would be a very nice solution because I can place buildings (like a McDonald's for example) and not have another spawn next door to it.
