Concrete Sidewalk Mod  1

About This File

Short Description:

This sidewalk mod replaces the white pavement on all traffic routes and all wealth levels by a concrete texture made by Maxis themselves. I made this mod because the omnipresence of this white pavement always bothered me; in most urban areas I know, the sidewalk is made from asphalt. I couldn’t find any asphalt texture I liked, but the default Maxis concrete texture was good enough for me, especially because of its small cracks.

This plugin can also be customized to replace the white pavement on some of Maxis’ base and overlay textures in the LE (and thus also on many lots by Maxis and custom content of other users), as well as on the PedMall tiles of the NAM. Please read the installation instructions below.

Available languages: This mod doesn't use language-sensitive content; the Readmes, however, are in English and German.

 

Dependencies:

Network Addon Mod (NAM): required if you want to use the PedMall override.

 

Installation:

Move or copy all files (except the Readme) in your Plugins folder of your edition of SimCity 4. To uninstall, just remove all of its files. All changes are being reflected immediately in-game, there’s no need to demolish and rebuild any traffic routes or lots.

The installation can be customized by only installing one or a few of the files of this plugin:

  • Sidewalks.dat: replaces the white pavement on most networks. This doesn’t affect Ground Light Rail, as well as some special cases, such as at-grade crossings with railway.
  • PedMalls.dat: replaces the white pavement on the first texture variation of the PedMall tiles of the NAM. This file requires installation of the NAM.
  • LotEditorBaseTextures.dat, LotEditorOverlayTextures.dat: replace some of the default Maxis base and overlay textures. This change affects some lots by Maxis and a good amount of custom content available in the Internet.

 

Compatibility:

This plugin is only compatible with SimCity 4: Rush Hour or SimCity Deluxe, if you need to install the NAM. Otherwise, it should be compatible with any version of SimCity 4 (if not, please tell me).

Important note: This sidewalk mod is not compatible with any other sidewalk mod, as well as with other mods overriding the textures I’ve overridden, such as the first texture variation of the PedMall tiles. It should, however, be compatible with rsc204’s No Grass Mod.

Well done 11241036!  Not only do the sidewalks just look better this way to me, but the lots that use concrete (including some parking sets out there) will now blend in better with the streets to create the appearance of driveways.

How long have I wanted this sidewalk modification. Dreamed. But I am afraid that I will not be able to install this wonderful mod, because Super Light Asphalt mod from Moonlight is set with a lot of content to it and I won't be able to clean it up completely. Thanks a lot anyway for this wonderful job! :thumb:

I'm gonna give it a try, specially because it's not wealth dependent. I usually use the Paeng Sandstone, but I want to check how it looks like with my custom lots and textures. Anyhow, it's always nice to see new sidewalk options. Thanks for making and sharing it!
