Just a question

[lilww34 15]

Is there anyway I can zone houses without road connection or is it possible to use something similar to a road/street, I'm trying to make a japanese village and I need a small path so the houses will grow.

It's hardcoded (and therefore unfixable) behaviour that residentials require a Road connection, and that constitutes as anything that has a Car path on it. Just using pedmalls, for example, will result in having abandoned residentials, because those don't have Car paths.

 

There are a few ways to trick the system, but all of those require a Road connection attached to the residentials, anyway:

 

 - Find a transit enabled lot that only allows Pedestrians to pass through; that's the primary method.

 - Separating all road traffic between the residentials and commercial/industrial areas and connecting the two with pedmalls and pedmall connectors.

For what Lilww34's asking I would say use Peg's dirt streets (part of the SAM, included in current NAM), it looks just like a rural pre-industrial dirt track.

 

If this is set as a historical build, I'd suggest an automata mod to stop cars spawning, or change them to horse and cart or something.
