Street/Sidewalk Mods

[monomass 36]

I'm looking for a good street/sidewalk mod. Which do you use or recommend?

I have used both street tree mods that are mentioned in the first post of the  "Top Ten Mod Suggestions" thread above. Jeronij's mod is a bit denser and brighter and has more different sidewalks and clutter, whereas the SFBT mod has a somewhat cleaner look and also contains a component for agricultural areas. I like both. Both contain side parking etc.

 

You don't mean street mods as they come with the NAM, right? If you want to have sidewalk mods, Paeng has a nice one. Not compatible with the street tree mods, though.

I suppose I mean street mods, with the trees or hedges and what not. Are you talking about the old brownish-red brick sidewalk of Paeng's? Yes, that looks sharp and I see a lot journals here use it. I've been avoiding it because I think it darkens up the city, and I fear it will make many of my plaza mods useless.

by the way, I found the fix for the tulep lanes and a few other standouts in you can pick and choose just the items that other sidewalk mods might miss (for example, paeng's doesn't convert the tulep sidewalks or the small roundabouts)

I was afraid it would darken up the city too, but so far there has not been much of a difference for me. As for your plazas, if they are using the default Maxis texture, they will be overridden by any sidewalk mod you install, so they will fit in with the rest of your city.

I'm also using Paeng's sidewalk mod & I think it's great, totally transformed my game as the block paving effect, IMHO, is far more realistic than the glaring white default paved texture. I chose this mod specifically to compliment the neat little ped mall parks found on the STEX -

The only problem I'm facing at the minute is that I can't use the Sandstone NAM pieces that akbear linked to for TuLEPs because the Euro textures I selected in the NAM setup are overridden by the default American texture when using this mod - I opened up the tulep dat in iLive Reader & it only seems to cover textures non euro markings. All the other elements of Sandstone NAM work fine for me though & I suppose I can live without brick textures on turning lanes until someone with capabilities I don't have can sort it - I'd still recommend the whole package though

For just the sidewalk mod, doesn't include street trees, I've never been more satisified than lately using Gobias HD Sidewalk Mod.

There are a number of texture styles to choose from within it. The thing with this one is that you can also choose to change the plaza textures of buildings too.
