Post Modding Requests Here

[ethansprang 41]

Requests:

 

1.  There are some really nice W2W diagonal corners, for example in Prepo's pack.  But they're not all mirrored.  How hard is it to mirror them?  Do the models need to be re-rendered or something?

 

2. More generally, all 45 degree diagonal corner lots have an overhanging base texture that sticks out to cover the interior corner of the intersection in front of the building.  Great!  BUT... there's always corners where you don't want that shape, like on a roundabout, where there's one tile of street on the interior angle - like the upper right corner here (ABOVE the red box):

 

 

Placing a 45 degree corner lot there makes the sidewalk texture triangle stab into the circle.  Ugly.  I think it'd be great to have an alternate version of many of these lots (Porkissimo, JENX, Xannepan,lots of others) that can be placed into this corner.

 

3.  Finally, I'm no good with graphics, but I'd like to mod lot files.  I can edit an existing lot file fine with the reader, but how do you make a new lot from an existing lot?  Like, I have an R$$$5 and I want to add an R$$6 for the same building. I just don't get how to do that. Is there a tutorial for this?

1. Search for the Model Tweaker, a tool developed by cogeo: not sure but I think it has the ability of mirroring models. Otherwise yes they have to be rerendered

 

2. Agreed, but would require models to be rerendered...

 

3. You'd need SC4 PlugIn Manager to do that, or even better the PIM-X (+ fix for Win7 SP1 users). The user's guide will answer most of your questions and provides step-by-step instructions to help you achieve what you want

 

 

i also have another question, and that is, if there is a fire in my city, is there OR is it possible for a mod to make like 2 or 3 firetrucks from the Nearest station respond on their own?

 

 

Not possible I'm afraid

[aj3262 5]

I have an idea for a mod, but no idea at all how to make it myself: Rail to Trail paths. My thought was that since so many cities convert abandoned railways into paved bike right-of-ways, maybe create some pieces modeled with the same basic footprint as the STR pieces in the game. I was only thinking as park, I understand pathing is a real pain. With the added smoothness of the RRW redo I think it would make an amazing addition. It would add that extra bit of realism that the SC4 community always finds a way to add.

You guys are so great and if I had an artistic bone in my body I would not bother you with this,

I am looking for some cemetary prop packs (i.e mousoulium, headstones, hearse) and possibly a mortuary and creamatorium too, I know sounds morbid, but I need a little more realism in my cemetaries

Thanks again for all your hard work!

 

That would come under BAT requests, look in the BAT forums and there is a request thread there. After someone has made them (not me, because i'm rubbish at BAT), you can make another lot based on the cemetary that shipped with the game in Lot Editor (LE). You can download LE at http://www.simcity.ea.com . If you need any help go to the 'Lot Making, Map Making, & Exchange' forum.

 

You mean a morgue, not a mortuary.

 

 

I want some kind of mod that turns the default tree controller into a tree controller that spits out trees that come from the good ol' state of Florida. You probably know, like saw palmettos, slash pines, cabbage palms, live oaks, and also spanish moss hanging on some trees.

 

Instead of someone making this for me, I will find a tutorial on how to design a new tree controller so I can model trees of my own. I would love to know if there is a tutorial on this cause that would be gretly appreciated.

Is there a mod that prevents the infamous "abandoned due to commute time" notice.

[z1 566]

Since there isn't a separate notice, do you mean a mod that prevents the actual abandonment?

[airman15 4,111]

I managed to dig up It won't get stop all abandonment, but it should force your sims to stay around longer.

[z1 566]

The main way to reduce abandonment is with the NAM traffic simulator.  Used skillfully with rapid transit, it can reduce abandonment down to almost nothing, and sometimes eliminate it entirely.  Do you have the NAM?

[Whte_rbt 1,431]

Sorry if this has been posted before, but has anyone considered a FAR-NWM?

 

Was looking at how Broadway cuts across the NYC grid when I had the idea.

 

Another one, has anyone else wished they could attach road diagonally to the Avenue roundabouts, or single road pieces to the ortho links?

 

Just thought it would give more flexibility for busy intersections

[SimRico 968]

Is it possible to make a 1x1 from the bleacher-only model in the sc4plugins folders?  Ive been working on some 1x1 and 2x1 ploppable of "high school type paying field ensembles" since none of the larger and 'major league type fields and stadiums fit the themes of my country schools.

 

could you make a 1x1 out of this mod included hats used in ballpark and stadium ploppable?  Im looking for the back of the bleachers to line up with the edge of the tile and the sides to be on each edge as well, making a w2w mod.  This way I can pop as many side by side to make a set of ploppable bleachers as large as I want

Since my BAT crashes on some sketchup imports i went to take a look here

 

i just need some models to function for Lot-Editor   Plugin Manager.

 

This model:

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=9f87d10e3c3f870d4eb1be1ee9b5b857&prevstart=0

(Gelredome, Roof open, Field inside)

 

and this model

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=740f7111401869d0895eb4a4c185d9dd&prevstart=0

(Eusebius)

 

 

if you can make some edits for a night version, then that would be awesome (like in night, the inside of the stadium where te field is would be light up)

 

I just need the models so i can make the lot's myself

 

its just that BAT crashes to often.

and simtropolis does not have any buildings from Arnhem

not even trollybuses

 

not even a real john frost brug.

 

thank you for you time.

[Cool_Z 1,547]

Hi guys !!!!

 

I was wondering if someone already made a mod who pauses the game after an advisor interrupts you.

 

Because I find it very annoying... when you're running the city at full speed and let's say you're told there's a strike at a clinic (well when you run full speed most of the time it's to let some new neighboroods grow). When you close the advisor's window the game resumes at full speed and you get another advisor immediately, with no time to fix the first thing.

 

Is there such a mod ? Please let me know, thanks in advance. 

[iota4u 8]

hey all,

 

now, i cannot for the life of me model thhings, i have tried in several games and always failed, but i can make maps and have done so for years for a variety of games ahah.. Now, i was wondering, if anyone out there could make this train station?

 

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=reading+train+station&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=-Wn1UvaGNdSThgeUiIDQCA&sqi=2&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg&biw=1366&bih=663

 

It's Reading train station, in england, the first big station outside of london and the busiest train station outside of london in the UK, its used for both the public and industrial purposes.

 

 

Now, can one of you beauties recreate this station for SC4 please?

[AbrielNexus 0]

Can we get a medivac chopper for the clinic?

[The Pennsylvania Turnpike 252]

I know this will just be overlooked but could someone please do either the PPL building or PPL arena in Allentown, PA?

 

This is the PPL building

 

This is PPL arena. 

[SithLord2064 0]

I am attempting to build the city of Phoenix in SC4, but I need this building more than any other. Anyone willing to give it a go? I would love to attempt it, but I have neither the time or ability to even attempt to do this building. It is the Hyatt Regency Building in downtown Phoenix.

[OreoToast 12]

could i get an RCMP retexture for this?

[Trakt0rdeck 8]

I'm looking for a mod that gives me the oppurtunity to build medium wealth suburbs that only consists of 1x1 tiled houses. I.e a mod which determines the size of low density residentials. I have the mod which blocks those huge mansions from growing, and I'm guessing what I'm looking for may be built in a similar way? 

EDIT: Just found out there's no way to start a city using 1x1 tiled residences only. Never mind my request.

[Tysons4 68]

i would really love a mod that overwrites all the maxis lots so the driveways connect to the roads... i know there are the overhang driveways that do it, but if someone wants to create a mod that does all the maxis lots that would be awesome

[Whte_rbt 1,431]

This one's kinda aimed at Girafe, but anyone who's up to it really.

 

Heather plants.

 

Want to build something resembling home (Scotland).

Hi is there a way that we can have a mod like the power and water system in simcity 2013 but in simcity 4? (I mean when you build water pump, it will like follow the streets.Same thing with the power...)

These are some subtropical/tropical plants that one may come across in Florida or anywhere else tropical. The plants in this list are good for MMPs, Props and for God mode controllers:

 

Ashoka Tree- Native to India

Bald Cypress- Native to the Southeastern US

Bamboo Plant- Native to the tropics

Banana Tree- Native to India and Southeast Asia; popular landscape trees in Florida

Banyan Tree- Native to India and Southeast Asia

Bismarckia Palm- Native to Madagascar; popular landscape trees in Florida

Cabbage Palm- Native to the Southeastern US

Cacao Tree- Native to Central America

Caribbean Pine- Native to the Caribbean and Central America

These are good because of the lack of any tropical flora on the LEX or the STEX and it gives one's city a tropical feel.

[thepat1ent 1]

would it be possible to make a mod that adds more events to expo centers, pro stadiums, globe theatre, opera house, an any other buildings that host events that i can't think of off the top of my head?

[lwp021898 0]

I'd love to see some San Andreas buildings and some cars from San Andreas for U-Drive-It

[IRE505 109]

These are some subtropical/tropical plants that one may come across in Florida or anywhere else tropical. The plants in this list are good for MMPs, Props and for God mode controllers...

 

 

Also, the Baobab tree would be nice, it is native to mostly Africa, it is seen all through the continent.

But I'd definitely second on this request, as I've been finding to hard to find a good variety of tropical stuff in general for Simcity

[BossDragon 220]

I'd like to see these vehicles as automata.

 

Nissan GT-R: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/Nissan_GT-R_01.JPG

 

We have Skylines thanks to Mikeseith's Japanese car mod and we have a Skyline GT-R on the STEX, But, we don't have the newer one. That's why I'd like to see this.

 

2013 Ford Fusion: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/Ford_Fusion_at_NAIAS_2012_004.jpg

 

Newer model Fusion. Something for the middle-class

 

2013 Ford Explorer Sport: http://www.netcarshow.com/ford/2013-explorer_sport/

 

Again, something for the middle class.

You would know half the problem... I live in the tropics.

 

Anyways, apart from the Flinders station, I have never really seen any grand colonial style train stations in STEX or LEX. Here are some cool real life stations:

 

Chhatrapati Shivaji Station- Mumbai, India

 

Hazrat Nizammudin Station- Delhi, India

 

Chennai Egmore Station- Chennai, India

 

Haora Junction- Kolkata, India

 

Thiruvananthapuram Central Station- Thiruvanthanapuram, India

 

Norwich Train Station- Norwich, UK

[Silentjacob98 6]

Can someone please make a mod to make the Day/Night Cycle in Region View? I can't believe no one has thought of this yet. Its one big thing that this game is missing. It doesn't even have to be a cycle, but rather an option to view the region at night.
