About This File

This is a regional water source that is designed to look good in a small map, and has the water capacity to support most maps around it.

 

Plop Cost: $50,000

Bulldoze: $5000

Maintenence: $2000

Water Capacity: 650,000

 

The lot is large, 16x20, and requires the BSC Texture vol01 file included in the BSC Common Dependencies Pack and the Maxis building prop files. Along with water supply, the lot will keep the area around it pollution free so that the water supply never suffers any negative effects.

 

It looks best if you use god tree mode to create a forest, then plop the reservoir in the middle.

 

Note: The water connection is in the back corner of the lot. Run pipes along back of lot to activate water. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused.

I hope you enjoy this lot, I use it as the centerpiece of a small map. Please comment, suggest, and rate good and bad. Enjoy!

It's great! I'm not sure why the maintenence cost should be higher? I mean it doesn't cost much to maintain dirt... Though I do see you point. It's just perfect!

Jacknoname - I'm sorry about the connection. The point where water comes out is in the back corner of the lot. The best way to find it is give the lot power, then run pipe along the borders. I don't know why this happens.

i'm retracting my 10, for a short while (till you help me out gshmails): the textures around the reservoir are not appearing right. i don't get it, the small reservoir works fine.

Jacknoname - Sorry, I don't no where my head is! The other PEG plugins that you will need are the Trail Park-Dirt Road and the Slope conforming lots. I'm not sure which one the trail is originally from. I hope it works now.

The only reason I even added that trail was because the water was too hard to see without it. I will edit the description so others will not run into this problem. Don't say I don't work for my 10's.

Tekedemon - Do you have the Peg texture pack available here on the stex? If so, make sure you have all updates and are playing rush hour or deluxe. If you still have problems, Send me a message.

I can't find PEG's Pond kit, trail path-dirt roads, and slope conforming plugins. Does anyone have them or know where I can find them? They seem to be required for many other lots as well. Thanx.
