About This File

Due to an SC4's hardcoded rule, all residential lots are required to have an access to an adjacent road tile in order to develop. This means that in most cases it will be impossible to develop a large footprint residential blocks along diagonal roads or NAM's fractionally angled networks.

However, with some simple modding and this set of specialized tiles, it is possible to build residential blocks in such tricky settings. All, without littering the entire residential zone with access road stubs.

In general, "Mimicked bus stop" is to be used in any situation in which you need a bus stop, but would rather not have an actual shelter / building in place. The idea is to blend it in between the pedmalls.

The details and meaning of this download can be found below. It is highly recommended you read this topic before putting the "Mimicked bus stop" to work.

 

DEPENDENCIES:

1. NAM 44 or higher
2. Paeng's Parks (actually, only one file within "ADDONS_205" folder is needed - Siding_busstop.SC4Lot)

INSTALLATION:

Simply unzip the archive to your "Plugins" folder. It should also work just fine if placed in subfolders within "Plugins" directory.

KNOWN ISSUES:

MBS will not work with any grass-textured underground routes under pedmalls. See this post for details.

PROBLEMS?

Let me know in the dedicated topic under the link provided above.
