SAM parking issue

Why are the trees growing on the concrete? And why have sims suddenly become braindead in regards to parallel parking?

I tried removing the addons I installed recently but it didn't work. This just started happening today. Reinstalling the SAM didn't fix it, either.

I guess thats how the game works...the parking is the place where sidewalks and trees should go. SAM changed it, so I guess there are some DAT errors.

No, he has a street side mod, like one of Jerjoni's, I believe.

You see, the SAM parking lot textures are just that, textures. It is still a street, but with a different face. Now, since trees do not grow along streets nor do cars park along them by default, we can also can tell that he has a mod for trees and/or parking along sides of streets.

What ever mod it is, that is your culprit.

    As I said before, I uninstalled the mods that would have been the culprits but I still get the incorrect prop placement.

    Same thing. When I rebuild/build SAM streets with the parking texture, they're still messed up. 15.gif

    After reading the SAM readme again I believe that their original intended use was to be used as the starter parts for the street mod. They also make nice small parking areas. I don't think they were ever intended to be another form of street. Nowhere in the readme does it say they you can or should extend these out and make a street system. Now of curse you can but should you? Just another opinion here.

    They're called the Street Addon Mod. They function as, simply, reskinned streets. But I don't understand what that has to do with my problem.

    Are you sure that the mod has not hidden itself? As I understand, there are two plugins folders, maybe there is a copy in the other one? As I earlier pointed out, this should not happen without some sort of mod making it happen.

    Also, do your regular streets also have cars and trees alongside them; as well as the other SAM textures?

    Other plugins folder is empty.

    Well, the only option left is to contact the chief architect of the SAM over on SC4D and bring this up with him, if you hadn't already.
