Maxis Parkings Override 1.1

Nice one dude, will these work on the edu/reward/medical parking lots? Or is it strictly wealth dependant?

You're on a parking lot frenzy lately. I'll have to check this one out to see how it looks. 

about time someone replaced those- even on plug ins some use the standard maxis lots- never could figure out why

A nice bit of lateral thinking... could end up anywhere.

One of those details (almost) everyone misses ;) Nice!

Regarding automata, new instances and family props I would recommend Mike Seith's complete packs and/or seperate downloads. He also offers (spawning) car dealerships.

I would have even gotten more liberal with them! Definitely an improvement though :)

I think you should add shading along the curbs. Besides the Maxis parking lots having boring rectangular lines, I think lack of shading also contributed to how bland they looked.

@Whiterabbit: yes, all the lots where the textures are used

@infamous: yes, and I still have some cards in my sleeves :P

@Titanic, rivit, night2build: thanks!

@Jamonbread: err probably but things could quickly get out of hand also ppl would probably be pissed if they have to replace props

@Shy Dude: although it's neat idea, I tried but it does not really improve the final result. Textures are too dark to apply shading I guess

You were right, it does improve the final result nicely. Many thanks for the suggestion!!!

Oh no, I don't think this is too dark, I was messing around making a texture replacement mod quite similar to this one with a darker texture and found that even the slightest drop-shadow effect along the curb really gave the textures some dimension. You've sort of inspired me to finish it up actually :)

Nice ^_^

The textures blend so nicely with the game, more like an upgrade rather than a replacement.  I also really appreciate you leaving the choice of automata up to us instead of requiring we download some car pack. Well Done.

I noticed in the "after" image there is still grass attached to the lower left hand texture.  Is this intentional for some reason or just an omission?

good job save us much time to PS.
