@tariely

I think the conversion/creation will be fairly simple.  You can use the Prop exemplar for any existing vehicle fixed prop as a template if you need to.

There are two ways to do this:  one super simple way (if you are familiar with Pim-X), and another slightly longer (but not necessarily harder) way using Reader.

Using PIM-X:

1.  After opening PIM-X, find the model you want to use.  There are only two models in the PEG-GarbageTruck_PROP_206.dat file:  one for the blue, and one for the green truck.
2.  Go down to the Prop category, and make sure Ordinary Prop is expanded.
3,  Drag the model file name down and drop it on Ordinary Prop > No Wealth.  You will be asked for an Exemplar name.  After typing one in and clicking OK, you will see your new prop exemplar for a fixed prop with all the correct settings.
4.  Click Close at the bottom, and exit PIM-X.  Your new prop exemplar (.SC4Desc file) will be found at the root of your Plugins folder.

You can't get much easier than that.

This can be done with Reader, but it involves deleting some properties, and adding a property or two as well as providing the correct values for those properties.  I won't post the necessary steps for this route, unless you decide you want to use Reader, rather than PIM-X.

change both Timed Prop values to 0 I did ; not sure  it worked...)

you need to create another TGI for the new prop, or the pox will come (now curable and all, but still a nuisance)

Here it is.  It’s a museum in real life but a former train station.

Ah, I thought it looked familiar. I have it' of course. but I'd never seen it up close, never having used it. The little glass roofs over the windows threw me !  *:)

It is amazing to see a mountain of skyscrapers concentrated at the tiny tip of the island.

Carquest is mostly done. Need to work on the interior a bit and it will be good to go for next week. I am also making progress on a retextured version that is a Big 5 Sporting Goods store. These warehouse-style retail buildings are ubiquitous across the country and the Big 5 is based on one in Richfield, UT (but won't be completely similar). A small town/rural sporting goods store doesn't exist on Simtropolis really so this actually fills a need. The texturing obviously is unfinished but I have the general model down. The Carquest, respectively, is based off of one in Lake City, FL, but with some differences in texturing (the red-blue motif that is used in some of their other stores for example). I'm also releasing a Snap-On Tools van with the Carquest. Those who work on their cars by themselves need tools to install the auto parts, somehow.

I need this. We had this sort of idea in past, but for me it's kinda of a pity that these stations have problems with their names (You can't rename it without changing everything and the changes only last for one game session). It will be pretty awesome if you take this into consideration.
