- SC4PIM-X 2026 & New Properties Update Out Now!
  
  By Kel9509 · Posted: 10 minutes ago
  
  @CasperVg, I've been using this new version for a while now and so far everything's working great! One suggestion though: DARK MODE. Staring at all that white screen really causes a lot of eyestrain sometimes. It'd be great if there was a dark mode feature. Maybe not 100% for the lot editor, but the main page with the properties definitely needs it. Anyway, just a suggestion!

- rivit's Street and Rail Mods - Support Thread
  
  By junspud · Posted: 1 hour ago
  
  I'll be honest, I've been making a lot of use of these unreleased repos/variants. Especially the narrow TSR. I've even went through the effort of overriding some existing SAM's with them, so I don't have to pick and choose what I want lol. Say, I was thinking, do you suppose there will be an exemplar patch version of the RVT tunnel mod? Seems like a perfect use case, but I haven't figured out how to do it myself yet. I noticed a few interesting variant textures like the ones attached, are they just one-offs for sam-sam tiles? One other minor thing 've had a question about,, do you think the additional retextures from v3.49 3rd party RRW lot support package will make there way into the RRW Reskin Package? I've taken a stab at some of them myself but process alludes me... Thanks again.

  By junspud · Posted: 1 hour ago
  
  Based on these questions and the mentions of features I wasn't even aware existed yet, is there any newer roadmap or listish of things to expect coming down the line? Progress has been pretty crazy. To think before this, I was about to invest (and did invest a lot of time accomplishing nothing of worth or usability, namely in regards to a T21 mod for RVT's wide TSR variant which needed new versions of mirrored props which I ended up using the wrong versions of at first) hundreds of hours into a T21 mod which covered one wealth (well, multiple really as they all were going to share the same layout) of one network. I'm slow at this stuff but still, it's absurd what you can do now. Such a thing has been made completely unnecessary, aside from hobbyism and maybe the minor convenience of having an actual T21 mod, if you plan enough use of it to justify such a convenience.

  I followed the instructions, but it doesn't allow me to delete my region. Once I try, if I exit the game fully and restart, the region is gone. It doesn't seem to mess with the UI either way when I do start playing.
