About This File

UPDATE: Improved texture on No-Trucks lot (see second photo). Your existing lots will continue to work normally after updating, and will display the new texture.

--

 

Modification of UrbanLegend's HOV, No-Trucks, and Road Closed lots, with UL's permission. If you use UrbanLegend's versions, remove them from your plugins folder before installing these. These lots should be placed in your MyDocuments/SC4/Plugins folder.

 

This pack contains eight transit-enabled plops. They are:

* NO-TRUCKS: Trucks may not pass. Ave, 1way, road, street versions.

* HOV Lanes: Buses and pedestrians only may pass. Road, 1-way.

* Road Closed: Only pedestrians may pass.

 

I have made the following changes to UrbanLegend's original lots:

* Grouped all lots in logical order at bottom of Misc Transit menu.

* Internationalised "No Trucks" to remove English text.

* Removed bus-stop properties so Sims do not queue up at them.

* Lots are no longer subject to transit strikes.

* Lots can no longer catch fire.

* Eliminated landmark effect and pollution reduction.

 

Street versions are $5/tile to plop, other versions are $10/tile. Maintentance fees are same as a normal network tile. I removed the pollution and landmark effects, because these lots limit traffic, making the streets more desirable as an effect of their use as part of normal gameplay.

 

I am not much of an artist; if someone wants to improve the icons and textures I appreciate any help offered.

Looks pretty cool. I've seen most of these as individual lots, but nice to see a collection of related crowd-control lots like this. My guess the HOV lot also blocks motorbikes as well, though IRL they'd be allowed on HOVs.

You're right ZStoner, the game doesn't differentiate between motorbikes and cars. Oh well, can't have everything.

great idea, i've used a couple of these before, but improvements are always appreciated. Heck, having them in the right menu order is reason enough to get this!

Hm...not so sure how can I use these, when my streets are not enough for cars, but the idea is great to restrict some streets, it gives more control to the mayor. Thanks :-)

Thank you for puting these together in one DL. And thanks to UrbanLegend for coming up with the idea in the first place!

Do we have to put them on flat ground? Because, the previous version that I had were a plaza-based lot... if they are self-levelling like the tollbooths, that's fine, too!

Shadow: Good catch! I hadn't thought of that. They're self-leveling - they'll slope a little bit; if the slope is too steep they'll level. I'll see if I can make them more slope-tolerant, and update if successful.

Holy crap, these help so much for alternate trafficways that get to congested, to seperate them. 10! 10! 10! Incredible that things like this are possible.

Really usefull. Would be great to also have a no busses road. As you say, the artwork could use some improvement. It's good, but it could be better. Think the changes you made to UrbanLegends versions are great.
