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.

I don't plan on using this (I've grown rather fond of some cities), but definately a step in the right direction - I can't tell you how many exurbs/suburbs/near-urbs there are outside Boston (Belmont, Brighton, Newton, etc.), that look EXACTLY like this. Nice job!

So, this means I can NEVER enter an old city again with the mod on? That would suck especially because one of my small cities finally reached 1 million people and needs suburbs :( 9/10

Put the houses with this mod so I don't have to sign up at different sites and download other programs and things.

It looks very very nice, but is there any way for getting the probs without registering you'r product? I know what you all thinking, that i downloaded it, thats not true, but every time i try to enter my cd key it says not valid or already in use... So if you could put the probs online or link them directly it would be awsome! Because it looks VERY nice and i would love to use this mod!

Rabbit ~ That's the only way, from what I know. Because it is illegal to place the file here. It would be copyright infringement. Great work. I probably won't download it now, since it would mess up my work. But, I will download it when I start a new region!

Great idea, and as for using with old cities... keep the files in thier own folder.... If your gonna open an old city, thake the folder out of PLUGINS... Put it back in when opening a new city... it's really not that hard..
