WestWind Streets 1.7.48

Hello, first of all, beautifull mod. I have 2 questions about it:

1. Im using SFBT street side mod, and im getting to many grass islands over LDR$ and lot sidewalk. I thought it was SFBT Street side mod, but I remove that mod and the sidewalk was the same. I don't know if I installed the mod correctly as my LDR don't look the same as your pictures. About this question, is there a way to keep the continous grass line between the side walk and the lots, or is it just me installing it incorrectly.

2. About JRJ Sideparking im just curious if your override doesn't include the white lines that the original mod include. I guess not, because I kept both files and yours kept overriding the white lines, but just curious if your parking sides doesn't include white lines.

 

I leave a picture that show my questions

questions about it

Hello, The grass "islands" are an integral part of the street texture (FSH file); the grass color is calculated during creation (to adapt to the surrounding wealth), for the 3 riches in low density. The sidewalk is added by the game under the street texture (street + grass therefore), according to the same surrounding wealth. When the density is medium and high (I made the following choice) the grass islands do not appear (also calculated upstream during creation) and the sidewalk texture covers all the remaining space under the street. Well, here, I am only talking about certain segments .. "straight" here.

Sorry... I should have changed the illustration photos, but as indicated at the bottom of the article: I reduced the strip of grass in order to have "exits" for the adjoining Lots!!

Then, the parking bays (from JRJ) ... the SFBT Mod (like any so-called T21 mod) adds objects, props: lamppost, pole, flower pot, ... and the parking bays are indeed objects (3D) which are positioned at the "edge of the street" and therefore they will "cover" the street texture (and that of the sidewalk!!). And indeed, my version of these "bays" only offers one appearance - I could put in my TodoList the making of a variant with a white, blue stripe..

I hope this sheds some light on how the game works. You didn't install it incorrectly, it's just that our options are a bit limited.

Thanks for the response I really appreciate it. About the grass stripes is there a way to go back to previous versions?

If you really want it, you'll find here the Maxis distrib' version 1.6.48. But there will be no maintenance, support ... from me ; because I don't keep the creation files for the various stages . I adapt/correct as I go along. 

hi, I want to report some findings.

The Cul-de-sac doesn't seem to be working for me.
I'm playing on Mac, and that's probably part of the issue since it seems like everyone else has it working just fine.

Everything seems fine (the .dat file is there, and the instance ID matched), but the override is not working.

I suspect there's an issue with the DIR file inside the .dat
So, I patch the "scoty-WWStreets - Optional Cul-de-sac - Tex.dat" file using the Reader and generate a new .dat file from it.
That somehow fixed the issue, and now I have cul-de-sacs for my streets.

EDIT:

After more testing, I forgot that other than patching the file, I also removed the street end textures inside the "scoty-WWStreets - Common.dat" file.
And that's what actually fixed it.

Here's the removed file in case other Mac players need it.
