Different roundabout filler

[Simcompoop 0]

Hey everyone,

First of all. Long time lurker, first time poster. So, aloha people.

Now, does anyone know if it is possible to be able to change the single road roundabout filler? (Not the one-way one.)

Currently I have an awful looking bush thing? With an equally awful white brick thingy-ma-jig border.

Hmm, actually while I'm here. I think I am missing the one-way road roundabout fillers too. I heard you can get a fountain and such but I've never seen any on my roundies.

Ok doki, any insight would be lovely. Apologies if this is in the wrong place.

Ta,

Im pretty sure that the road roundabout fillers are determined by the development around them. so a R$ house will have a different one from a CO$$ building for instance.

To get a fountain for the OWR ones all you have to to is plop one square of OWR in the square at the centre.

Ah, thank you old chap. Much appreciated.

It makes sense that the filler could be controlled by development.

I would never have thought to plop a one-way road tile in the centre though! Wowza.

Hi, and welcome to Simtropolis.

There are several great looking fillers for one-way roundabouts out there. Personally, I recommend Alexander Column by Odainsaker. You may also like SFBT's Roundabout Fillers (LEX link) with seasonal trees and bushes.

Oh, and of course you could do with the mentioned Maxis fountain as well.

Hope this helps.

Thanks heitomat. They will come in useful.

I have a problem now though. While testing the OWR's I discovered that Sims can't actually drive through them, giving me a no road icon. I've included an image of the problem.

Is there any way to fix this? Or have I installed something wrongly?

The next one is single road roundabouts. Is there anyway to change the automatic filler? Like bigthing suggested I tried zoning all types around the roundabouts but the filler never changes, it is always that ugly looking one. I've attached an image to show you all exactly what I am on about.

Any help would be super.

Ta,

For your first problem, I've never encountered that myself. And the "no road" zots don't disappear even if you let the game run on cheetah speed for a couple of months? I doubt this has anything to do with the roundabout itself, though, as the "no road" zot only shows if there is no road or street network in front of the lot. Have you tried dragging a new road over the existing one?

Yep, I've let the game run for a couple of years and still I get the "no road" sign.

I've tried dragging out new roads, over the existing one. If I drag a road round the roundabout and connect it with the other road that has the Industrial zone, the "no road" signs disappear instantly.

So it has to be something to do with the OWR. I don't know why it's happening right enough.

I've also tried different combinations but as soon as I plop down a OWR the "no road" signs appear. It's quite annoying, as I live in Scotland and we have roundabouts everywhere and was hoping to build a city similiar to where I live.

Cheers for helping though.

The one way road roundabout must be layout in a certain direction for the type of right hand/left hand version of the game.

For right hand drive start the roundabout to the right in the direction of travel [counterclockwise].  The opposite for left hand drive.

Aha, that's done it. I'm using LHD.

And was placing the OWR for righties.

Thanks so much. I feel slightly dumb, not thinking about that!

Thanks again. Toodles.
