About This File

Older looking power lines for your cities and rural areas.

 

Lot Descriptions:

- 1 x 1 size

- Lines are overhanging props

- Found in the Power menu

- Set on a transparent base

- Have a $2 a month cost

- Produce no power

- The 2 and 3 segment lots are overhanging so that you can run them over buildings and homes.

- They should function line power lines (extending power service) if you only use the 1 segment, corner, and short lots. The 2 & 3 segment lots will not do this.

- Can be placed on hillsides and uneven terrain however the next lot in the chain must be at the same elevation as the one before it to make the lines match up

 

Includes 5 Lots:

- 1 Segment: spans 3 grid squares

- 2 Segments: spans 5 grid squares

- 3 Segments: spans 7 grid squares

- Corner: spans 3 grid squares

- Short: spans 2 grid squares

 

See screenshots for examples.

You can see them in action in my CJ: City Noir

very nice, will use these for sure. 5/5

My only wish would be to add diagonal, or even FARR, lines for more flexibility.

wow, this is truly embarrassing guys, I'm sorry! I made these a while back for something else so when I went to upload them to the stex I only uploaded the lots and forgot all about the props! Thanks for pointing it out, I can't believe no one else did! The file now has the props in it.

Ravenhold: if you only use the corner, short, and standard lots (not the two offset ones) then they should extend your power grid since only one space will be left between lots. Hope that helps!

One thought can you possibly make these draggable, that would be very useful. 3/5

yes simcomp it would be nice instead of having to plop everything, maybe just a maxis retex would be nice.Other than that thought great job :thumb: Remember it was a nice :idea: when simcomp said a draggable version would be useful.
