About This File

A collection of over 40 original highway signs or freeway signs in green and blue for use on elevated and ground in-game highways. This kit contains exit off-ramp signs, overhead gantries, variable message signs featuring both traffic travel times and accident warnings - along with a custom speed limit gantry complete with monitoring cameras.

 

This projects main focus is to create a standardized, properly scaled set of signs, traffic lights and other BATs to compliment your roads and freeway systems. I have worked hard to ensure accurate details and properly scaled prop sizes to add even more realism to your transportation networks. These BAT's are specifically designed to work in and over NAM interchanges and in-game highway pieces. This kit will not however place properly on RHW pieces, and a separate volume will be released for those pieces.

 

All lots use transparent textures, custom query sounds and are properly located in your Misc Transportation menus, near the bottom. Additional statistics are below.

 

Note: This is an updated pack to the original Volume 1 signs. This update fixes problems placing the signs on slopes and corrects the missing texture bug. Additional enhancements were made to the Variable Message Sign nightlighting as well.

 

You must bulldoze the original signs and delete the containing plugin folder before installing this pack.

Please view the TSP_Readme.txt file in this download for further Q&A and additional details.

While I have tested the lots to the best of my ability, I do not have the benefit of the thousands of users on Simtropolis who can test them in their game and help locate any potential bugs. Please, if you discover a bug or see a problem using these BAT's, PM me ASAP. And yes, I put this together because I love the STEX and the game itself! Ooo-raay!

Very cool! I probably won't use this as I don't use the ingame highways, but I will be looking out for the RHW version. :)

Answer to abemus: Yes! I run Deluxe Edition on my system here, and the signs were tested against it and worked. Have fun!

Wow very impressive. I have been using some of the RHW highway signs for my regular maxis highways and avenues but this will get top usage by me since its made for the maxis road transit networks. 10/10

Comment to TmiguelT: I've tried to make the lettering on the signs small enough but generic in nature. Obviously not everyone will like "A10" and additional packs will have different lettering, which will provide enough variety to use in most cities.

Great work! Will you be doing a left-sided vesion? I hope so. The LED signs look great and this is amazing, esspecially for a first time BAT.

Answer to d2629: Yes, there will be a European pack released in a separate volume, which will also feature slightly different sign faces to accommodate the different way signs look in that part of the world.

When I place it on slanted land, i get a invisible square. Works fine on flat land. Maybe its missing a ground texture or something. I'm sure its an easy fix. It is some very detailed work! Can't wait to see your next project pack! 2 thumbs up!
