About This File

To give your city a bigger variety of gas stations, here is a set of ten different brands in various shapes and sizes, based on the great set of models released by Heblem (LBT).

  • Chevron    - 5x2 (14 Jobs)
  • Conoco     - 6x3 (15)
  • Petro Cnd  - 4x3 (13)
  • Shell      - 5x2 (11)
  • Esso       - 4x3 (12)
  • Exxon      - 5x3 (15)
  • Lukoil     - 4x2 (16)
  • Mobil      - 3x3 (9)
  • Valero     - 4x4 (10)
  • Cheapo     - 3x1 (3)

All of them are growable commercials (CS§), with a moderate number of jobs, as each of them also has a little store/foodmart on the grounds.

The lots are meant for corners, so keep that in mind while zoning. They grow early in the game, so make those you want to keep historical right away.

At least one of the sides is usually kept pretty open, so you can combine the station with other industrial lots to make larger truckstops or rest areas by the highway or similar. I included some pictures of possible combinations in the readme.

TIP: If you want to force-grow the stations at a later point, temporarily block Maxis' COM-buildings, zone for proper size (with CTRL), then run the game for a while. After stations have developed at your chosen spots, make them historical, remove the blocker and continue as  usual.

 

Dependencies

All pieces are in separate files, so you can delete any you do not wish to use.

Thanks to everybody making resources available!

 

Enjoy!

I love gas stations in my city! Especially growable like these. Thanks! (I just wish they were traffic-enabled, so cars could actually appear to use them.)

Excellent! A few of those are in my home town. You just forgot Texaco, lol. But these are great! The lotting is wonderful. 5/5. For those who want the ploppable- You know there's and extra cheats plugin that has a download link found in the forums right? The plugin contains a plop cheat that plops growable buildings.

The variety of stations is great. Thanks! Don't worry about making plopable versions, there's a cheat out there that people can use to make them themselves if they want them so badly. Now, making them transit enabled - if you could do that - that's another story... :)

Well, I'm glad most of you like the lots ... as for your requests: Please understand that I am basically concentrating on LOTting, I'm not much of a MODder - these are the first growable lots I ever made, and I simply don't know how to make them into ploppable (and functional) LMs. So please bear with me ;-). Same for transit enabling ...
