UPDATE Version 5

 

Added 1x1 Dirt *functional* parking lot for farm areas. This is the last update for this series (presumable :)).

 

 

 

==================

UPDATE Version 4

==================

 

 

- Fixed a bug where lots often wouldn't get used do to increased commute time. So I Eliminated any increase in commute time on my parking lots. So now only the commute times associated with the Mass Transit system your supporting are being used.

 

After i fixed it, my parking lots got a lot more traffic!

 

For fixes to take effect, you must demolish old lot and build the new one on top!

 

Also, i won't be making a gravel parking lot - sorry. My point in creating these lots were to make "FUnctional, or Useable" parking lots, and not to create eyecandy that served no purpose.

==================

 

 

one 1x1, one 1x2, one 2x3, and one 2x2 grass parking lot for rural settings. Small one holds 50 cars (think of it in an entire day, instead of any given moment), the middle one holds 150, the big one holds 500 and the grass lot holds 300. Cheap too plopp and no monthly fee. Also, the lot slopes, which looks nicer IMO, since there are no buildings as props.

 

You can find them in the same menu the other parking garages are under. It doesn't have a custom description text 'cause i can't make it work. BUt it does have its custom name. Also, the lots use random items/cars, so you got variation.

 

Enjoy

 

***btw, just to clear some confusion:*** The difference between these lots and other parking lots are, that these lots function as transport lots (meaning they work) , and the other lots (at least the ones i've found) only function as parks and look good.

 

 

** UPDATE: Version 2 **

 

Added lamp posts & a 2x3 parking lot, which holds 500 cars.

I know that the icons look similar but i can't figure out how to change it, sorry. I also removed the maintence fee on all lots.

 

Btw, I noticed in my tests that these parking lots can take up to 3x the number of cars before they get dark red on the traffic map.

 

NOTE: You will need to demolish the old lots first and rebuild these in order for them to change appearence (lamp post). Don't know why :)

 

 

** UPDATE: VERSION 3

 

I added one 2x2 grass lot. This concludes this set. Hope you all like it. (and no, i didn't forget the lamp post on the grass lot, cause there is none intended :))

Nice, but my one suggestion is that you add a single lamp post to each lot. Either that or make these increase crime a bit... no light is quite commonly a breeding ground for criminals... and teenage punks... :P

What a great idea! Can someone help erazor out with the labelling/description issues? Then they'll be 10/10.

You should go to the user visible name key and change the values to Zero. Then the name you put in the exemplar name will show up. I also like that these are functional. I'm going to use them to make the parking lots I have downloaded functional.

@qwerty - the custom name shows up as it should - only thing that ain't working is the description when you hover the mouse over the icon. When i save it in the 'ilive reader/tweaker', it doesn't work.

this is pretty good, i think it could have some more trees or grass although people have made parking lots before this is the first time ive seen a functional one

i figured out why my trees didn't show up - you can't plant trees on concrete :(. But notice the tree planted on the grass lot is growing slowly :)
