I found a way of really remembering this CJ!!! Hah... At the top of the artical it has a picture of a cat. I said and a cat comes back and out of nowhere my evil cat Halloween comes and claws me in the arm (I think some skin came of... Ow Hal did you just head but me??)... Nice, very nice!!

Does this mean that New Atkinos Island has a broccoli-eating problem?

Heh, a swiss-army fish. I'd love to see that...

[Twenty20 28]

Enough with old farts and fat ladies, we must upgrade now!

Oh no, I must reinstall the patch pronto, or Chris will fall into the endless flatland sea with cats and dogs and the expansion will run amok! MAX Priority! Take your masks for the upcoming GAPO (Giant ArmPit Odor) and terminate all windows!

Hope the Admiral watches where she fishes!

gabry85 That's it! I am taking you forcibly to Catnip Anonymous for an intervention!

Hester You too, Missy!

Leech10 Aha! Someone found one of my several hints.

Explodingsims We'll see if they can figure out what's going on... another plot twist awaiteth!

Kelistmac Thanks! Glad you like it and hope you will return soon.

gabry85 Someone please quit feeding him beans!

Smarty218 They are still on sale!

Dfnva Thanks! I am glad you liked the ads. I enjoy making them. When I get an inspiration, I make a new one and then cycle them in and out.

jjune4991 As a loyal reader, I will have a box of them shipped to your doorstep on the house!

un1 Headbutted? Better be careful! Perhaps a can of Fancy Feast would help?

Leech10 PLEASE tell me that's not what activates the volcano... PLEASE! [shuddersm thinking about the lava...]

NMUSpidey They love broccoli!

Twenty20 Those clouds could mean trouble!

Callbat Please do! The Admiral has a free cookbook you can use too for fabulous recipes.

gabry85 Install the patch! Install the patch!

Leech10 Must be kept in the Mayberry Jail... we need to get Barney Fife the key to protect the zat gun better next time.

gabry85 I'll have Sheriff Andy speak to Deputy Barney about that,

justintime Now that they have been on Simtropolis, they are celebri-cats!

Patfirefghtr You can also refer to the Admiral as "Admiral", "Your Majesty", "Your Royal Fluffiness" or "O Great One". She's not too picky - she has a lot of titles.

Heh. Well I am far enough away to get away with calling her...

FAT!

Gabry85 and I were lolling on the beach in Risa on our blue towels and he kept refilling my glass with his premium catnip wine.  I am afraid I was not wise with the quantity.  Oh,mmy head.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

*hic*, Hester? Are you gonna need to sleep a few off tomorrow? I'll beam you some aspirin and a Gatorade.

[gabry85 2]

Wow, interned, hungered, work-overloaded, most wanted and even moderated! What a page... and what a hangover, Hester!

[Zelgadis 638]

Why buy a blue beach towel even at a discount when you can just nick one of the millions that litter the beaches of SC4?

Roadless City Tutorial
 
Have you ever wanted to have a city without traffic? No cars, no buses, no trucks? You know you have. But, Sim City doesn’t seem inclined to let you get away with it. But, now, you have free, unsolicited advice on how you can create a historic city and have it vehicle free. And, as we know, free advice is definitely worth twice what you paid for it. So, let’s see how to make this happen.
 

 
First, we lay out a fake road. This is actually Jeronij’s rural embankment (straight shown here… diagonal used elsewhere). The residential embankment, shown above, could work too, but it has the fence line on one side, so you probably want to stick with the rural. The rural looks more authentic as a street as well.
 

 
Be sure to use the home and end keys to orient the street in the proper direction. This will be a T intersection.
 

 
Using the diagonal embankment pieces, you can get off of the grid and get some angled roads. You have a upper diagonal and lower diagonal angled lot from which to select. As you can see, the balance of the tile is covered with trees. So, you probably will want some sort of greenery at the turn instead of having a building facing out and having its entrance obscured with trees.
 

 
The diagonals are only half of what you need for the road, so you will need to rotate the lot and plop another set alongside to finish the road.
 

 
When finished, your road will be 1 tile across, but the extra trees will make the construction take up 2 tiles across. Note how the trees sort of stick out in a zigzag from the road. You will wnt to soften that with other lots in your final product.
 

 
After a while, you create more of an old world looking free-form pattern of cobblestone roads. But, these are technically parks, so they are not transit enabled and growable /ploppable RCI lots will have a fit! How do we solve this? And, how do we get some Sims to their jobs via a non-useable eyecandy transit system? Observe!
 

 
If you are placing commercial or industry, try pedmall tiles from NAM to provide transit access. Hook those up to a subway station to allow for transit between pedmall segments.
 

 
The sub stations will be quite unhappy without the pedmall lots, found in the roads menu. You can use the sandstone or grass lots as effective camouflage and they also have pedestrians, providing movement in an otherwise static cityscape.
 

 
Landmarks, such as these timber framed houses, do not require transit access and be placed just about anywhere. You can save the pedmall tiles for lots which truly need access. Note the path between subway stations in grass tiles. That’s a pedestrian mall… counts as a road, looks like plantings.
 

 
See the movement on the grass… gives more life to it as well as needed access.
 

 
The transit system is in place and my ploppables are going in.
 

 
All of this is connected by subway. Commute times are tolerable and cars avoided.
 

 
Commercial businesses will grow if they can touch the pedmall tiles.
 

 
I start filling in the blank areas with trees to smooth out the diagonal road jaggies . Foot traffic gives life to the town, which would otherwise be very quiet.
 

 
Will it work? Yes! Residential will not grow in this will nor will it work if you plop it. But, commercial and industry are fine with it.
 

 
The beauty of the pedmall set up is that the Sims think they are in cars, but they are not.
 
Following these steps will net you a traffic free neighborhood – full of old world Schulmania charm. Try it sometime… the Supreme Wirdle will purr for you.
