Diagonal Fire Station, by Mattb325.
---------------------------------------

This large coverage and large dispatch fire station is housed in an old Edwardian building with shops along the street frontage and offices on the upper floors. The main garaging for the fire trucks is at the rear with additional emergency access through the large central arch if needed.


The building is an overhanging 1x1 lot. Place it along a diagonal road or avenue and then use one of the many park filler pieces available or NAM ped Malls to fill in the blank spaces to your liking. Therefore, each time you plop the building, it is entirely possible to create a new lot around the fire station, just like C:S.

Being fire station, it is found in the fire menu. The building provides employment for 120 SIMS.

NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE:


There are two model files in this download. You must select the appropriate file from the download. The file suffixed with 'DN' is for those users with a night-time darkening mod installed. The file suffixed with 'MN' is for users who do not have any such mods installed.

If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. 

If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod. (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23089-simfox-day-and-nite-modd/)

@Fin44850, thanks!

 

There are a number of steps to achieve that look. First, The large areas use a ped mall (that comes with the NAM), then, there are filler pieces with diagonal textures.

My go to is SFBThttps://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1197 or https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=797 are a good start, but there are many others. Just search on Andreas for the SFBT set. There are also many other diagonal filler pieces available. A google search will turn up results for other creators apart from SFBT/Andreas. 

Lastly, the entire area up and down the avenue in the screen shot is zoned medium density, which gives the sidewalk tiles as opposed to grass. You can also trick the system into thinking that it is medium density by following the steps outlined by corina marie, here: https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/758426-looking-for-a-terrain-mod/
