I'd like to announce an update to the RRW Reskin Pack sources and new versions of the RRW Maxis Lookalike and RRW 3rd Party Lots Support files.
This version is consistent with the NAM47 Release, and will in fact be necessary if you use NAM47 or later, as crossings of NWM items were modified in that release - creating a breaking change in the Reskin because some textures were rotated. If you use NAM46 or earlier and you use this Reskin version some NWM crossings will be rotated (everything else will be fine).
In this Reskin release, all NWM crossings have been included to match the NAM, and in addition have now been Wealthed. There were a small number of texture corrections made, but no stylistic changes. A number of long missing (but probably unused) Flextrack textures have now been included so that NAM is exactly overridden. After work by Tyberius06 (The Achivist) additional Lot textures have been found that were missed over the years. Any other finds that have been reported have also been included. This is v3.47 - v3 because of the breaking change, 47 because of NAM47.
The RRW 3rd Party Lot Support files were released (v2.47) late November 2023, prior to this work. It cannot be emphasised enough that these must load AFTER NAM and any texture Megapacks which you have in support of Lots. This is because the intent is to override Lot textures which were made back in the MAXIS rail days to show RRW textures. The only Lots that cannot support RRW textures are Simmer2 lots which are RRW spec, but differently coloured for which we have transition tiles, and lots that have baked in (i.e. rendered) textures. There are very few of the latter left, and, if necessary, in some case we can edit them. The RRW Reskin Maxis Lookalike contains all of the most recent fixes. It too should be used with NAM47 or later. It can be used with the full NAM (47) or the NAM lite releases (any) and shows the Maxis rail colors on the RRW design.
The 4th file is the RRW NAM47 reference files - this is a verbatim regen of the RRW files from source textures and can be used to update NAM47 to include the NWM wealthing and corrections, NoGuard switch variants, and Lot Support textures. I'd like to note that the RUM for RRW (v7.45) and in its variants, has not changed and is consistent with NAM47.
Here is an overview of my Public Onedrive folder where these files can be found.
