- Need help with sc4pac
  
  By CorinaMarie · Posted: 10 hours ago
  
  Those are mix and match and pick which of each one you like. Here's a recap of what to peek at: Cori's Rock Shoppe (Linkys to and Pictures of every Rock Mod) Cori's Water Shoppe (Linkys to and Pictures of every Water Mod) Cori's Side Water Shoppe (Pictures and in topic Downloads of the Water's edge for every Water Mod) Cori's Beach Shoppe (Linkys to and Pictures of every Beach Mod) Cori's Terrain Shoppe (Linkys to and Pictures of every Terrain Mod) Cori's Jolteon's Ferrians's Tree Shoppe (Linkys to and Pictures of almost every Tree Mod) And I would personally skip the tree mods to start with just cause they are more complex to set up. I played vanilla for a couple or three years before I downloaded anything, so my answer is: No, not really. Just get playing and from there you'll find what you like or don't like or would like to see and odds are there's a Mod or BAT for that which you can decide on getting later.
- NAM: Requests - 2nd Edition

  I would really love to see a combined width and height transition for RHW mis 2 to 4. Very similar to the new FTL shown below. It’s just missing a matching transition to connect back to the highway. Those will really help reduce interchange footprint in highly compact and congested areas. Thanks to the NAM team for all that you do!

  Thanks, CorineMarie!! To respond to your post, I will do them in segments... First, as for the environment sites you mentioned, I took a look at them, and have one question - those links lead to more complicated mods, is there a one-in-all link for each (terrain, beach, etc.) or would I have to download each mod individually? Second, I will most certainly look into the Age Degredation!! Also, with the "player vs. painter" situation, I am like you - I figure I am a mixture of the two titles. Is there anything else I might want or need to download before I dive into the game? I do remember that there were a TON of downloads on sc4pac, though I haven't looked at them in great detail just yet. I am so excited, but I want to make sure the game and it's downloads are all taken care of before I dive in!! I really appreciate your help - but not just yours, for everyone who has provided guidance, information and patience!

  By chance, have you used the Drawpaths cheat to look at the paths. When I tried the piece, it wasn't always stable (paths and textures). Perhaps it's not even be supported at this time... Clicking around with the RHW tool helped a bit. Not sure if there's a 'trick' to using this piece or not... Road connections seem pretty stable, though... While things may not seem perfect, traffic still is able to traverse the connections...
