My legendary retaining wall BATs are back! Completely remodelled and retextured, the CURB series takes a new lease on life with concrete/grey asphalt plaza textures similar to those found on many BATs and official Maxis content. Furthermore, the models have been completely rebuilt, now with sidewalk-width walk areas around the new street-level gardens above the retaining walls.

 

For those new to this BAT series, this set includes basic components required to build your sunken highway with CURB. One of these pieces is an underbridge lot (left and right halves are two BATs), with the other being a 15m slope, slope-conforming component that is plopped in the middle of two FARRHW ramps in a fashion similar to below:

Just be sure to make sure the top RHW-4 level is constantly 15m high, and plop the pieces where they fit. You'll notice it's pretty self explanatory. As a dependency, you'll want to download http://tinyurl.com/CURBdependency If problems persist, contact me, or watch this promotional video to see what your end result should be like:

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoy the product! Lot's of work and many a weekend went into this.

I love these things. Thanks Bipin! Great to get a nice urban look through your downtowns which is hard to do sometimes.

I hope they work this time, the previous version didn't. They look great though!

Very nice work Bipin!

One note for users: this will not work with the RHW slope mods.

Great work. However, my antivirus reported a threat in the executable file. Anybody else or is my program just being overly fussy?

@interaxion - I can assure you there is no virus. I do find a lot of anti-virus programs label all .exe files as a potential threat. Which anti-virus program are you using btw?

@Haljackey - Thanks for the comment, it's nice to hear from someone who's work with RHW I really admire, which inspired me to get into a less vanilla game, more modified instance of SC4! :)

Where do you find this in the menus? I've searched all over and I can't find it for some reason.

These lots should be in the parks menu. You can see the lots against a grey background as the icon.

@Bipin. I am using AVG and it does that fairly often, but the first time for a sc4 .exe file. Thanks for the reply. It really is amazing work you did there (including the video), and I will definitely install it.

I used RHW 6C and FARRHW (Fractional Angle Road RHW) for the off/onramps. This is what the set is intended to be used with.
