About This File

Kloud Auto Auction
Owned by Kloudkicker Industries

Two versions available to download, seasonal and evergreen(non-seasonal). Pick one or both. Each uses the beautiful trees made by Girafe and they can coexist with each other if desired.
Two lots come with each version, both are 8x8 and use the same dependencies.
Also they come in both plopable and growables.

Lot 1 is a medium wealth commercial service and occupies all of the lot. The plopable version uses two network enabled streets connections and is found in the landmarks menu. Street connections will be automatic if road or street is present, or can be made after plopping by dragging the street tool onto the lot.

Lot 2 is medium wealth commercial office and utilizes the front corner sections with other unrelated business. Has a higher job count among the other stats. No network connections on this one and the plopable is also found in the landmark menu.

Note: Due to the nature of the lots, it's size and props used, the lot will self level on slopes up to 44 degrees.
To force grow the lots, while using the zoning tool, hold CTRL and draw a 8x8 section.

Auto auctions typically are private auctions to sell off used vehicles with little or no issues, they may have been repossessed or rebuilt from damage by insurance companies to recoup their money, or even repossessed vehicles from irresponsible barrowers. Many of these vehicles end up at used car dealers, "cleaned up" and resold.

Credits:
Maxis building props were used with help from T Wrecks mod. Used lots of Shokthrpy wonderful props and overlays. More awesome vehicles used by Jim over at the Hide and Seek archive. KOSC textures and overlays were super useful and used FANTA1990s' car carriers and cabs, all great stuff thank you. Thank you to all of the Simtropolis community, SC4D and Maxis of course. But a Big Thanks goes to Dirktator, the founder of Simtropolis, for starting Simtropolis in 2002. Thank you Everyone!

This lot was designed by me(Kloudkicker) and has been tested. Much care has been taken to ensure that there are no errors, but this does not mean that errors do not exist. How can anyone ensure that when the game is not perfect itself? Use at your own risk.

Feel free to use this mod for any reason. Please, just give credit when it's due. However, Do Not upload this mod to any site without my permission.
