About This File

This download contains a set of highway noise barrier walls. Whilst being of a simple and cheap concrete and steel design, they have a more pleasing curved pattern look as seems to be the trend in a lot of road construction these days.

They are modded to provide a very healthy Park and Landmark effect, so the sims living and working near them will appreciate it. They also have a significant pollution reduction factor, so even though they can't reduce the sim traffic noise, they can remove the pollution affects assoicated with them. Plop a few of these beside a highway, avenue or road and see the positive effect they have on the surrounding buildings.

There are ten lots in the set; some straight, some with corners, some diagonal and some overhanging the lot to cover those blank tiles beside the on/off ramps that you can never use.

The lots all have the base texture removed, so the ground texture underneath will show through. This is good as the highways don't have a texture under them, so the lots match. But the lots sometime suffer from the "missing base" bug where the base appears blue/black.

I'm working on a Menu Management Lot (MML) mod for these, so they don't clutter up the Misc Transport menu when you don't need them. These lots are BSC Tracking Enabled (BTE) which means they may contribute to Reward Chains.

These are truly great highway walls. Very realistic. I've already started plopping them all over my cities.

Great work. Since they look buggy with foundations, you could set the foundation threshold to 25 so they never generate foundations. I build on extremely hilly terrain, so I'm editing them that way for my own use (though I'm having to add textures as well, since I don't know how to save textureless lots). :-P

This looks really amazing. I look forward to using this in some of my cities. However, id be even more impressed if someone could use the Salt Lake City Freeway Wall design and put it into a Mod like this. (The Design and Texture is truly amazing with a modern but mountain feel - if you are in SLC Utah, check it out!~)

Isn't the pollution absorving capability too much? Not even the PEG Artificial Tree is so powerfull.

I've checked the file, there are no actual dependencies, at least to my knowledge. They should work right out of the box.
