About This File

Okay, riding the wave... ;-) so you can all use the fabulous props just released by Shok, here is a whole range of ready made parking lots for many occasions - small, medium and large, straight and diagonal orientation, with different pavements and accessories for $, $$ and $$$ areas, COM as well as IND... All the lots have Park'n'Ride functionality and provide a small income (Business Deal) to compensate for your valuable real estate.

 

* Allow some loading time for the second screenshot - it's an animation showing the change of vehicles during the course of a day...

 

 

 

LIST OF ITEMS

 

Small - 14 lots

(1x1, 1x2, 2x1)

 

Medium - 6 lots

(2x2, 2x3, 3x2, 3x3, 4x4)

 

Large - 4 lots

(6x2, 6x3, 6x6, 7x4)

 

 

 

DEPENDENCY

 

SHK Parking Pack

 

 

 

DEVELOPER NOTES

 

All lots come in various configurations and are kept in separate files so you can easily select and install just your favorites. Move any lot you do not want to use out of your Plugins to a safe location.

 

All cars are timed prop-families, so you get a lot of variety and 'movement' during a day. If a lot seems to have too many repetitions, bulldoze and re-plop for a different mix until satisfied.

 

The pieces are located in the 'Transport | Miscellaneous' menu with custom icons.

 

You'll notice that the ingame menu indicates things like $, $$ or $$$, IND or COM, straight or diagonal - this is not so much saying where you should use a particular lot, but wether it uses plain concrete, more fancy accessories, straight or diagonal parking bays and so on... Of course you can use any of the lots wherever you feel they'll fit in.

 

All parking lots need a little power and generate very slight pollution. The values (including plop cost and monthly income) depend on the size of the lot (see ingame menu for more details).

 

 

 

Note1: THERE ARE TWO *OPTIONAL* MODS INCLUDED!

 

1) For all who do not care for the extra income there is a small (optional) mod that will cancel out the business deal from every lot.

 

2) For all who prefer to have visually transit-enabled driveways there is another (optional) mod which does just that.

 

Both mods are packed in additional ZIP files (included in this download). Unpack and install these additional ZIPs ONLY IF -

 

* you DO NOT want the lots to generate income; and/or

* you DO want transit-enabled driveways.

 

If you are happy with the default lots, store the optional ZIPs in a safe location (together with the documentation).

 

 

Note2: A word about the 'SHK Parking Pack' - this will be my 'standard' dependency for all my cars and parking textures needs in future lotting projects. Don't hesitate to install it - you'll get good use out of it :-)

 

 

 

INSTALLATION

 

Put the whole bundle into "(My )Documents\Plugins". You may of course opt to install only certain items - just remove any lot(s) you do not wish to use - but make sure you always keep the Resource file (KEEP_parking_resource.dat) installed.

 

If you install the optional mods, keep them in the same folder as the core lots, but maintain the provided z_folders. The mods must load AFTER the core lots.

 

To un-install - bulldoze all lots you may have plopped from this pack, then remove it completely from your Plugins.

I am very glad there is not a ton of dependencies with this mod !!!

 There is an annoying bug, however.

 When I query any parking lot it shows usage as "0" - when I use the NAM query it shows cars are using it.

Really like these and I wish there was more parking lots or parking garages like these.

Is there an easy way to add a monthly income to other lots like the Maxis parking garage? Where I'm from most public parking spaces and garages charge a fee, usually 2 dollars (Canadian) an hour or perhaps 10 dollars for the whole day (handy for people that want to park and ride or work in an office area)

Can you make Left-Hand Drive variants as well? I'm Aussie and I don't think the arrow direction marks would look in place.

Hey Declan,

fellow Aussie player here. Paeng hasn't been around in years, so they are unlikely to be doing so. However, what you're asking for is a very simple job to do yourself in the Lot Editor (I do it all the time and can talk you through it if you have any questions). There is an old list of Aussie related plugins at SC4D that may be of interest, hopefully the links still work: Australian Plugins

I am still making Australian related stuff at times (there may just be a Coles and Woolies at some point)...
