Forum rules How to install
Download the .plugin, .ttplugin or .zip file and move it into the plugins folder of your TheoTown game folder:
Android - The game folder is located at Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files which can also be accessed on the device itself by using Google's file explorer
iOS - The game folder is accessible as a virtual folder called "TheoTown" via iTunes after connecting the device. On the device itself you can use the Files app to access that virtual folder.
Desktop - The game data is stored in /Users/YourUsername/TheoTown
Another way is to navigate to the region view in the game->open game menu->File manager->plugins where you can import plugins manually by using the import function. After making changes you have to restart the game to see an effect.
Be careful with installing plugins manually. See this notice on the potential dangers of installing untrusted plugins.

I present to you a very messy package of old plugins created by me in 2017 and 2018. No guarantee they'll all work properly in the newest version, but I have made some fixes and at least they load without errors.

This is not a plugin pack designed to be installed as a whole. I'm putting it here for people who are looking for some of my old plugins that haven't been available publicly for a long time. It's also very likely that I am not going to ever update these plugins.
Welcome back, Matison55557, after a very long break since 2018

Commenters, it's up to the creator's decision to upload to the plugin store and/or add a plugin.manifest file. Don't beg creators to do so. There's always a reason why some forum plugins are not released to the store.
If you put just the entire zip without extracting then yes, the plugins won't show up. But if you cannot extract it I'm afraid there's not much I can do, since for me it works just fine. Make sure the zip has been 100% downloaded and didn't get corrupted. you can also try to use a different app like ZArchiver perhaps.
The crane plugin simply added a new crane texture for construction animations in the game, when a building is being built. It was not placeable by the player and does not appear anywhere in the building menu.
