About This File

This isn't really a mod, it's a total makeover of R$$ lots.  This package changes all of your R$$ lots to 1X2's & 1X1's.  Also I've changed the lots to have a more urban look - the majority of houses now have driveways leading to garages in the backyards.  Also the houses are much closer to the street.

 

In addition to this I've changed the R$$ buildings, lowering the number of residents to 5.  I should also point out with this mod you won't be able to control the building styles of houses (this will not effect anything other than houses).  About 50% of the houses will show up as the New York Set, 30% Chicago, 15% Houston, and 5% European. 

 

Also, and this is a biggie: DO NOT USE THIS WITH EXISTING CITIES!  This changes the lot sizes of your residental buildings, and will screw your old cities up badly.  You will also need the Buildings as props available from SimCity.com .

 

Basically this is just something I cooked up for myself, I wasn't really planning on making it available to everyone but I figured maybe other people might have a use for it.

cool idea! but i don't like how it replaces existing lots. you sould have/should use the 'save as' in LE so it would just be adding more growable lots.

Cool! Now more houses have drive-ways for a more urban feel. Good idea! Keep it up!

Guys, wouldn't the whole point of using this mod be to re-arrange the way your housing grows? How would it do that if it didn't replace the in-game lots? I think this is fine the way it is.

would have been nice to give 5 haks along that control the % of the sets. like one for each style, and one (or more) mixed ones. i tend to only have the euro set in my cities.

I won't use this "mod" considering the effect is would have on an existing city, but the effect you have created is very realistic and looks VERY good! Worth using on a new city for sure! That screen shot you have included shows something far better than what the core game offers!

I didn't like the games existing lots, so thats why I didnt use the "Save As" feature. And as far as the %'s, I was trying to get the game to look more Eastern American so I dumped all of the houses that didnt fit in. Thanks for the compliments.

The description is pretty clear about why he created this mod-note he says for his own use...why be so negative? If you have no use or desire for this mod, just ignore it instead. Nice looking screen shot, I may try this on my next city.

This is a major change to the game and should have been thoroughly tested before upload onto the STEX.
