    1: Looking for a asphalt mod for my Maxis Hwys and NAM. The "Asphalt Highway Textures" mod that I uploaded is not working for me (only covers ramps). I'd love a link to one that works.

    2: RLM has a cool fence pack that I sent to my plugins folder ("RLM Fence Props"), but I can't find the fences anywhere in my tool bar (I've tried installing at least 6 times). It looks like thousands have made it work successfully, but those damn fences won't show up for me, and I can't figure out how to make it work. I'd even take a link to some good looking ploppable fences.

    3: I tried installing the "MegaFreewaySignPack", and went in order of the instructions provided. But it only offers me an alphabet search in the ticker bar below. I can't seem to get those signs open. How would I go about uninstalling that to try again, or am I doing something wrong in the ticker sub-catagories.

    After a year of this, I'm just starting to figure out how to develop some great looking cities. However, I'm not very computer savoy, and some of this stuff just perplexes me. So thanks to anyone who can help me cause I'm addicted.

    I will check back tomorrow for solutions. BTW: I'm a radio DJ in Colorado Springs and will give a shout to anyone who helps me out... Seriously.

    1. If it only covers ramps then something must be wrong in the installation. Be sure to have the latest NAM version + hotfix and ensure that the folder containing the mod loads after NAM (put it in a folder with some "Z" at the beginning, since files are loaded alphabetically). If this mod still don't do the trick you can try t although some pieces aren't covered, but the same rules for proper installation applies. To put it short, there is no asphalt mod (not that I'm aware of) for maxis highways that works 100% although I saw one on a japanese site that I never tried, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it. A radical alternative for having totally asphalted highways would be to use the RHW, but it implies drastic changes in the gameplay (more freedom, more fiddling).

    2. The realism mod aka fence mod is a mod, hence you won't have anything appearing in your menus: it will do the job automatically. If the mod is correectly installed in your plugin folder, just zone your RCI and let it grow: you'll see the fences. You'll also see fences appearing when your RCI buildings built prior to the installation of the mod get further in stages.

    3.I don't know which pack you're referring to. Maybe someone else could help, or be more specific with the name

    Whenever you download and install texture packs be sure they are not overridden by something else. Force them to load last by putting a few 'z's in the beginning of the folder name.

    Prop packs, unless enabled by an accompanying mod, will be for use in the Lot Editor to add items to lots.

    1:

    You need to have both in your Plugins Folder. Rename it ZZZ_(Filename) if it still won't work

    2: About RLM's Fences, something is wrong with the installer (or maybe it's just me). The files end up in the Start Menu > Programs (if you are using Windows). If it's not there just manually put the files in your Plugins folder.
