Can’t wait! I like when you do the unique L shaped plazas it breaks up the monotony of the game.  Excited for Skyzone and wing stop

Time for a new shopping center for you all to enjoy!

So I've been having some issues with night lighting on your lots.

The buildings are just too bright and stick out like sore thumbs, which is really unfortunate.

I'm really hoping I'm just missing something, maybe a dependency that could be causing this.

Now the interesting thing is that the building does appear to be lit correctly but only during the transition into night.

At a certain point, the building stops darkening and then flashes back to being too bright.
Here is a clip of the behavior (happens at about ~20 mark)

Any ideas?

Edit: I'm not running any night mods (about 99% certain), and have tested this with several lots including the Tops Friendly Market.

Unfortunately that's an export error. My Detroit Free Press Building BAT (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/15009-bsp-the-detroit-free-press-building/) has the same problem.

So essentially the only way to fix this is for RR to re-export the models then? If I'm understanding correctly.

[RRetail 7,906]

That is unfortunate and I'm sorry about that.  

But unless someone can figure things out, I'm afraid they'll be stuck that way. I don't like to hang on to past projects that I've completed, as they take quite the amount of space up, so I won't be able to re-export buildings. Even if I could re-export, I have no idea how to prevent that issue from occurring again. If someone wants to play a bit with the technical side of my things, I have no problem with that.

I noticed that issue as well, but I thought it was just a glitch. I use the SimFox day and night mod. It doesn't bother me as I usually just stick with playing in day mode.

I haven't played SC4 in a few months due to time, but I hope to return to it very soon. I believe I have just about everything you have made in plugins folder (there are more I need to get ). Keep up the amazing work as always, nonetheless!

Every project needs an anchor....

Awesome!! I figured one day you would BAT some oil change places to go along with your gas stations and car repair shops. Cant wait! 

[RRetail 7,906]

I'm glad you like them. These are designed specially to go along with Harris-Teeter hence why they use similar textures. 

[Evanjs 602]

@RRetail idk if you know this but many HT have off Site Fuel Center now. This was something they added after Kroger bought them out. Is the 7-11 just a 7-11 or will it have Gas Pumps? I do know HT is the only Kroger brand that Partners with another Gas Company then Shell “like how Kroger, Ruler Foods, Raphls and all the other one do” HT has a contract with BP in the Carolinas. 

[Evanjs 602]

And if that 7-11 has pumps maybe BP Pumps will do? 

[RRetail 7,906]

@Evanjs The Shell brand will be the banner used with 7-11. 

Another day completes the first (of five) small strip centers to go with Harris Teeter. 

[RRetail 7,906]

Slowly but surely getting there.

It can take a few hours just to work on those logos alone. 

But here's a in-game preview of what to expect:

I still have the bottom left to fill.
