About This File

If you can't go over or around... or under... go through.

This is a collection of 3 ford style lots for use with the PEG PPonds. All three lots are 1x1 and fully Transit Enabled for streets. They come in 3 flavors... Rock, Stone & Concrete.

 

* For those who have never seen one, Fords are, in effect, a poor man's bridge. Most commonly seen in remote areas where constructing a proper bridge would be difficult or not cost effective, fords are a raised area across a small river or stream that will allow a person or car to cross a small river or stream without getting too wet. Often dry for most of the year, they are usually covered by water during the rainy season or by snow run-off in the Spring. They are most commonly made of concrete or a combination of mortar and local material such as stones and rocks. 

 

These lots are technically parks and are located in the Parks Menu along with the other PPond ploppable lots. However, except for a very low landmark value, they have no park-like properties. They are cheap to plop and even cheaper to maintain.

These lots are also fully Transit Enabled (for pedestrians, cars, trucks & buses) and you will see cars partially submerge in the water  as they cross. They have a small, built-in commute delay (like a toll booth) to simulate the slowly down that drivers with average or better IQs would normally do when driving through water.

 

* Although Transit Enabled, the lots can also be used with non-functional roads and paths like the Logging Roads, Forrest Trails, etc...
 

** These lots have no direct dependencies...
but are designed for use with the:

Forgot to mention: Special thanks to ABCVS for the idea, and initial alpha testing. The model is actually very simple... but the concept & initial implementation by ABCVS was very clever.

I have a tiny problem with the abrupt edge of that underwater road - it almost looks like it is cut off :( But I couldn't have done better nevertheless.

It's little details like this that make me love your work so much. Fords will definitely help give my rural roads so much more charm and a more unique feel than just a road running between farms. The fact the cars actually get partially submerged as they drive through it is a really great touch too. It's one of the things that no one else thought of, yet it's such a commonplace here in England (especially where I am). So I give this 5/5 for creativity and unique design, great job :)
