How to build an Area in your city with only a certain type of buildings ? (gascooker houses)

[ruhlcore 0]

Hi all !

This is about my 5th post or so , so you can see iam a $%&^!.

Okay i did a lot downloads of STEX files in the last weeks. And they are all awesome and work. And i want to say how much i like most of them. Especially the ones that make me feel like ive visiting a city in a other country in real life.

And since i like the british brown brick style houses gascooker built i would love to do some small area in my city with only these buildings. (The other areas are original SC4 buildings that want to keep)

So ive heard from Tolomar (thx btw.) of this Tile Set Mod. I installed it. But the result is not really what i wanted, its close but maybe someone here knows a better solution how to get a certain type of growable buildings in a special area of your town ?

That would be awesome.

thanks a lot
have a nice day

Hi Ruhlcore, 

why is the tile set mod not enough? If you have it, and  then only tick the european building style, then you can be totally in control. B U T !!! , it only works if you have a perfect overview of your plugin folder.

I have made a lot of subfolders like "berlin", "amsterdam", "GB", "rural housing" and so on. then I only usse the buildings I like in a specific city, an then I cram in all of them if I need to do some work on a region with many different cities, or wish to see all the cities.

All in all. 1) Tile mod set, 2) organize your plugins 3) start a town with only the (wonderful) SG houses.

Hope this helps, it worked for me, Z

You may also want to do a forum search for a thread started by barnatom, something with "UK village" or similar... I don't remember the exact name. In that thread, barnatom did exactly what you wanted to do, and IIRC, he also showed some tricks and gave some hints.

@Zugtroll:

Yes. The perfect overview of my plugin folder would be nice. But for me its really hard to decide whether i play sim city 4 or be a realistic city creator. I tried to be both with STEX downloads and the original game but sooner or later you will find yourself in trouble especially with growables that look awesome when they are next to each other. But all other bats and original houses grow within these.

Now when i use the tile set mod and only choose Euro-Style still there will grow other houses from the plugin folder first. Especially the adult shops  (but i think i will delete them) and the gas stations. And especially the gascooker corner shops dont appear (i think others noticed that too). I think i have to get the right demands for them to appear.

@T Wrecks:

Ive found Uk Village thread , Awesome Pictures in there , especially these ones :

Thanks  a lot for pointing me towards the thread. Ive also found that its kind of difficult to get the corner shops.(right ?)

But i keep on trying.

thanks for your replies.

ciao
