Currently the WMP related dependencies are unavailable due to the temporary or permament (we are not sure about that yet) shutdown of the workingmanproductions (WMP) website. Many of my lots and my Heretic Essentials are using props based on those models. We are working on a solution to bring those creations back to LEX (and possible STEX too), but it might take a while, so I ask everybody patience for a bit longer, until we solve the situation. The readmes and dependency lists will be updated once these things are getting sorted out.

Thanks for everybody understanding the situation!

About This File

UPDATE v1.1:  I revisited the attached Included Dependencies files and merged them into ONE dat file. That won't have any affection on the lots, purelly aesthetical/organizing modification happed to my pleasure.
Updated dependency list, since Tariely uploaded her essential files, therefore there is an easier access to the necessary files.
Also  I attached a cleanitol file to help you remove the unecessary files.

 

Background:

During this autum I ran into a little problem in one of my cities. I needed some medium plazas with the dimensions of 2x3/3x2-3x4/4x3 and I couldn't find anything what I already wouldn't use in my cities, so I came up with the idea to making some new lots. The original idea wasn't about a public release, since I don't have too much experience (neither too much motivation) with plazas and I wouldn't have wasted to much time trying to make something which could be satisfying for everyone. But during the working process @tariely came up with some ideas and thoughts about nightlights (which is an other thing I'm not interested in), so she got the files to put her touch on them. Later I combined the two sets, Hers and mine, and here we are with this quite massive plaza set, which contains:

18 medium plazas (5 - 2x3, 5 - 3x2, 2 - 2x4, 4 - 3x4, 2 - 4x3)
3 larger plazas 6x5

I moded the plaza effects such as pollution and things like this totally random, so don't look for any realism, I don't really care the gameplay aspect in that deep, so they can be unballanced, but if you recognize some ballancing gameplay problem, probably will know how to fix it. Hint: LE Prop or Reader tool are your friends. Of course, I'm open any suggestion, and if you have accurate values for me which numbers I should change for what, I can and will do it and can update the upload.

The plaza plop costs are variable according to the sets:

Heretic (yepp that's me) 2x3/3x2 plazas - 400
Heretic 3x4/4x3 plazas - 405 

Tariel 2x3/3x2 plazas - 410 (yepp, they are more expensive, because they are admittedly nicer, less out of the box, than mine)
Tariel 3x4/4x3 plazas - 415

Heretic-Tariel 6x5 plazas - 500

Install:

Copy the "Heretic Projects" folder from the zip (or unzip it) into your plugin folder. Highly recomended to keep the provided folder structure, because all of my uploads have the same format, and since sometime I'm working with inclouded dependencies (such as textures or descriptor datas) it's better if these "inclouded dependencies" are in the same place. If you unzipped the upload, you may delete or remove the "Documentation" folder from your Plugin Folder.

You will find these lots in the Park Menu.

Also I would like to thank to Tariel her ideas and help on the lots, and that she provided her versions for this set. The beautiful Heretic-TL 3x4 Med Virgin Mary Fountain Plaza lot is completely her vision, so all credit is hers!

Enjoy!

Hi, I need your help, yes, textures... shocking, isn't it? I've checked and installed the whole thing, I'm not missing any dependency to my knowledge, and yet, the textures are still the maxis' ones!

It's not that well explained how to use SCILT's texturs, it says "keep the ones you like", and how should I now!? It's a whole set or am I supposed to choose between Paen_of, Paeng_CF or Paeng_Def? Sorry! I really don't get it. *:???:

Thanks in advance.

Uh... Ok, so first of all. On the above sample pictures, most of the Paeng "brown-ish" Sandstone textures are NOT from the SCILT. The SCILT gives us lotters extra overlay texture variants to cover more set-ups or special set-ups. I'm not sure which lots I did use these SCILT overlays on, but if you don't use the Paeng Sandstone Sidewalk mod you won't get those brown-ish sandstone plaza textures in the first place (but that is totally fine!). Without the Paeng mod those textures are the basic/default maxis medium wealth plaza textures (also known maxis white). So those default textures are interchangable, they will match always with the used sidewalk mod. If you do not use custom sidewalk mod, then you will get the maxis white base textues on the plaza lots, where you can see the sandstone now. And in this case you need to download the default maxis version of the SCILT.

I listed the Paeng SCILT version, because my current sidewalk set-up is Paeng's Sandstone. If you don't use any custom sidewalk mod, than you need to download the maxis version. If you use a different sidewalk mod, you need to download the matching SCILT version of it.

And if you use the Paeng Sandstone mod, you had to set it up in a way. There are a couple possible set-up variations for the Paeng Sandstone Mod whether you want wealth dependent sidewalks or you want unified sidewalk. In the Paeng version of the SCILT that's why you have that many options, to cover all to possible set-ups for the base mod. But to give more help with that I need to know if you are using the Paeng Sandstone Mod at all...

I finally realized what the problem was, I had a the maxis version from SCILT from the time were I had no clue what I was downloading from here, back in 2016/15. In the end, I just gave up, without the textures, they don't make that much sense, and it's a huge part of your whole design, but... I'm too much used know to the white textures and I like to keep them. Thanks for your time, Tyberius! :)

Broken links to Neko's props.. ( At least I can't access them)

Hm... thanks for letting us know. 

The Cycledogg Texture pack link went haywire for some reason. I'll attach all those link here, and will be updating the download page as well later. 

Neko props are still available, but the hosting site changed the adress (moved the files from there original address into an archive folder). In the CFI thread (among others) I shared the updated links for those packs, but I need to dig them out. 

The WMP Power Props have been merged into the WMP Mega Props vol01 or Vol02, I'm not sure which one, though I made the compiled magapacks last year. These mega packs (vol01-vol05, the WMP MegaTextures v1.02, the WMP Essentials and the RFY Mega Props vol01) are replacing all the WMP prop and model packs, since the original site went down last year. These can be found on STEX (WorkingMan Production section) and on LEX (for now under my LEX account temporary) as well. 

BSC TexturePack - CycleDogg vol. 1

Neko Prop and Texture Sets:

WMP Stuffs:

WMP Mega Props vol. 01 - Misc General Props

By the way the currently available WMP Power Lots might still contain the power props, but after I finished my current project with LEX, I'm gonna update all the WMP uploads and then everything will be refering to the mega packs and all the single prop packs will be removed.
