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.
