About This File

This is a MTP compliant update to the PEG Random Woods lots which provides a fast & flexible means of adding realistic woodlands to your cities and surrounding rural areas. The Random Woods are ploppable lots, in 1x1 & 2x2 sizes, that blend together to form large, wooded forests. They are fully slope conforming and can be plopped almost anywhere. Their YIMBY effects have also been reduce substantially to avoid blowing out caps.

Two versions are included... one with transparent textures which allow the game's natural terrain to show through... and a textured version that uses the new MTP Forest Floor texture and blends well with other MTP lots. The two versions are included in separate files so after installation, you can remove either one if you do not intend to use that style.


UPDATING LOTS FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS

The transparent texture lots are not affected by this update. However, the textured versions will not show any changes until they are bulldozed and re-plopped. You can do this at any time... even after the files have been updated. The old version remains fully supported and functional so you can replace them at you leisure.

** These lot were originally designed for seamless integration with the PEG Trail Parks and the PEG Stream Kit. Obviously, they can be used by themselves, singularly or in groups, anywhere in your cities where you need a little flourish of flora.

** BE SURE TO REMOVE THE OLDER VERSION FILES WHEN UPGRADING **

Installation:

copy/extract the PEGPROD parent folder into your Plugins. If you extracted the ~Documents folder into your plugins, too, it's highly recommended to keep it, but move it out of the Plugins folder.

If any earlier version(s) of this file exist, they should be deleted.

Dependencies:

 PEG-MTP MTP SUPER-PACK v1.5

**All Pegasus files are now legacy content and are no longer officially supported - however support from the wider community can be requested Pegasus Productions Support Site

A cracking idea, and exactly what I wanted, but packing it as a Windows-only installer (is it really so hard to install plug-ins on the Windows version?) means it's unusable.

A couple of questions: 1) Are these trees seasonal? 2) Have you included some "dummy" (blank) props in the prop family so that the placement of trees appears more random?

You will have to make peace with the installers ... that is the way we are going and that is it. Our lots are getting more and more advanced and many users struggle to maintain their Plugins properly. Installers make updating more organised too. I believe the BIG TS2 sites also goes this way.

For those who have problems with the installer: On PEGs site, http://simsite.us, all lots will be available as standard ZIP files.

These installers work on all 32-bit versions of Windows (ie.. win95 thru XP). They won't work on MACs. As accomodating as we try to be, we can't hold back on 99% of the community to accomodate a small minority.

There are ZIP versions of these files on the support site but not all developers upgrading to this install will have that option. There are numerous products that allow MACs to run Windows-based apps. I suggest that the MAC users discuss this and share ideas.

If you don't like installers, get over it. It's hassle free compared to those archives within archives that people love to make, and there is a license agreement in it, so Peg's intellectual property is properly protected. (Pardon my alliteration) This is incredible and hardly deserves a 7.5 rating.

For anyone having problems with the .exe go here https://www.simtropolis.com/lots/details.cfm?id=4528 hehe sorry just had to do that. A workaround for the .exe may come in the future, but like any ported program for the Mac expect a delay but don't dagger the lot because of it.

i'm not sure why constructive criticism is so often met with both a figural (and now a literal) F-U. is your goal to make this look like malice rather than good-natured mistake? if you didn't mean to leave Mac Users out of future releases - than be a little more humble about your error.

Excellent work, and we should rate the lots on the greatness of the work, not on the installers, becuase Pegasus is trying to benefits those who have windows, wich is the MAJORITY!!!

why choose to exclude Mac Users in favour of including those too stupid to install a couple files? most of you don't even need an installer - the fact that you're throwing your support at it is almost spiteful. why must we always be chided for using a different operating system?
