KOSC presents: King's Community & Regional Park Pack, Volume 1

Introduction

King's Community & Regional Park Pack is a set of brand new park lots designed for your cities. This is volume 1 of 2, and covers a multitude of park types.

Package Overview

Included in the following package is a set of custom textures and 11 park lots, ranging from humble neighborhood park to a regional giant.

Most of the original parks in-game were designed with a singular function in mind. For example, courts, green space, fields and plazas were all presented individually. This set takes a different approach and combine many of those individual features into a single lot. Pathways, open grass space, wooded areas, courts, fields, and playgrounds are all components that you can expect to find in these parks.

General Stats

The 11 parks in this set consist of the following:

  • 1 low-wealth variant, providing R$ cap relief and weaker R$$ relief. Lowered maintenance cost and water consumption.
  • 6 medium-wealth variants, providing R$, R$$ cap relief and weaker R$$$ relief (the sports complex being the exception). Normal maintenance cost and water consumption.
  • 4 high-wealth variants, providing full R$, R$$, and R$$$ cap relief. Higher maintenance cost and water consumption.

In addition, most parks share the following properties:

  • Air pollution reduction, light water pollution
  • Moderate to strong landmark effects within a short radius, park effects over a larger radius (relative to park size)

By default, the parks should appear in the parks menu right after the Maxis ones.

Detailed stats and information can be found in the enclosed README.

Install Instructions

Drop the files in your My Documents/SimCity 4/Plugins folder.

DAMN Users Only

There is a second zip file included that contains DAMN menus for these parks.

You will need DAMN for these menus to show up/work.

Merge the DAMN folder in the zip with the one inside the SimCity 4 install directory Plugins folder (not documents).

For CD/DVD users, the default is - C:/Program Files (x86)/Maxis/SimCity 4/Plugins/DAMN/
For Steam users, the default is - C:/Program Files (x86)
/Steam/SteamApps/common/SimCity 4 Deluxe/Plugins/DAMN/

Drop the zzzzzz_DAMN_Hidden folder into your standard My Documents/SimCity 4/Plugins folder if you want to hide the lots from the normal menus in-game. If you still want access to the original menu icons, feel free to delete this folder entirely.

Texture Replacement

This pack uses a small additional set of textures not included as part of any of my previous dependency packs. You can find the repository for this particular set here to generate a set to comply with your choice of sidewalk/grass mods.

Dependencies

The dependencies listing is a little more intimidating than before due to the use of girafe's HD flora. As a whole though, it's not much more than my standard fare. If you've downloaded any of my previous works then you should have around 75-80% of the required dependencies already.

Props

Textures

A big thank you to all the content creators behind the props/textures packs that made this set possible! Additional credit to MushyMushy for providing inspiration for one of the park locations, and rsc204/rivit for GoFSH work that made generating the additional textures here quick and painless!

Enjoy!

Hey, love these parks man.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a compatibility issue that prevents them from showing up in the parks menu when installed alongside Paeng's modular park, cemetery and playground sets.

Other than that, though, these are great.
