Yes thanks

I can't get them to work so never mind

Downloaded 3 times

 

???

 

What do you mean you can't get them to work?  Are you having problems downloading them?  Problems installing?  Problems getting them to show up?  There are a number of dependencies required for them to work....did you download and install each of them?  

 

We could maybe help you if you clarify what you mean.

They're growables.  With growables, it's a crapshoot as to whether or not they will show up.  It's out of your control.  If you installed the file correctly, and are certain you have all the dependencies, then you just have to wait for the right conditions to be present before they will grow.  The thing is, even when the right conditions are present, that doesn't mean the game will choose them to grow.  Make sure you're zoning the appropriate sized lots according to the ReadMe file, and remember they require Stage 4 before they will show up.

 

Something else...I presume you have the Rush Hour or Deluxe version of the game?  And likewise, what version is your game?  Are you at 1.1.638 or higher?

they just don't show up

 

Also, they may require the European tile set to be enabled. Open the Building Style Control sc4bsc.png  and make sure Euro-Contemporary is checked, as well as the 'Build all styles at once' option:

A very valid tip, Cyclone.  I overlooked that in the ReadMe.  Thanks for pointing it out.   :thumb:

Lol, there are hundreds of civic buildings out there. :D There some really good ones at SC4D (you need to register an account). If you search "Civic" in the STEX, there will be some nice ones too. ;)


Pineapples, what else do you want? :D

I'm afraid those spacecrafts aren't available downloading anymore. As long as i remember the site that once provide this kind of ships is now dead. But i don't know if those still available in some specific sites though.

I'm afraid that these are custom walls, not available on the net. I was searching for some good walls last month and found every wall available on the net, except these.

Regarding the walls -

 

They are fairly simple to put together in the lot editor without being too knowledgable about creating custom content. I am proof. I can't bat or mod or any of that and I've made several combination of wall sets like in that picture. You just need to have the prop packs that have the wall props in them.

 

Here is a downloadable wall in that style that you could alter in the lot editor to your liking, that's how I got started:

 

http://sc4ss.web.fc2.com/lot2.htm#rbp (Kazuki's Redbrick plaza walls)

 

Make sure you have the dependencies listed. And I think the walls are actually in the CSX props pack listed. There are 4 or 5 to choose from and you can turn them backwards to get an even different look, use different fence railings and base textures, etc.

 

Neko has some nice walls and railings that work for that style as well in one of his prop packs - 2 or 3, I forget. Hope this helps.

Ok, so basically we can edit those walls... but, where can I find wall props or textures to add and edit the current ones?

Here are the walls like that -- that I know of:

 

These wall are in CSX MEGA Props - Vol04

Their names in the lot editor are:

 

1. WFK_CSX_Wall_16x32m_Ancient_Stone

2. WFK_CSX_Wall_16x32m_Classic_Stone

3. WFK_CSX_Wall_16x32m_Classic_Stone01

4. WFK_CSX_Wall_16x32m_Old_Stone

 

 

These walls are in Neko Prop Set 02

 

rRF5rZS.jpg

 

Their names in the lot editor are:

 

1. NekoSlopeWall02_Nomal

2. NekoSlopeWall03_Nomal

3. NekoSlopeWall04_Nomal

4. NekoSlopeWall05_Nomal

 

 

Just make sure those prop packs are in your "My Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins" - folder. Open up the lot editor. Then open something like PZ1x1_Cement once in the lot editor. Go to the Props tab and click Add Item then type in one of the names above that you want. Change the base texture to what you want, add a fence/rail etc. and there you go.

I need some help with a non-functional residendial LM lotset that I once saw and can't find anymore. It is called ; Glorietta de la Palma lots, small southernstyle ploppable 1x1 and 1x2 houses found in the LM menu.

Has anyone an idea where I could find them, thanks.

Try look around these content:

https://community.simtropolis.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=user_activity&search_app=downloads&mid=302405

If these don't help, using the "search" button in ST/Excange section with "highway signs" as a keyword will prove useful.

I'm pretty sure those walls are made with Jenx quai de seine props, which can be found on sc4 devotion I believe. The trick to replicate the same effect as in the picture is to create a simple 1x1 lot with the LE, put textures and props if you wish and place the prop to the edge of the tile. You also have to set the foundation threshold? (not sure, long time I haven't fiddled with LE) value to 0 AND place the lots on a slope if you want the walls to appear. Very easy to do.

I actually happen to have the redbrick plaza walls and I guess you're right about just tweaking them in the LE, but Kazukis walls don't work for me at all. When I plop them on a slope, they level the slope to the lower edge and I basically just get a 1x1 with the red brick texture dented into the slope. Any shot at what might cause this?

I made a wall set of my own after following this thread, so I made this quick image demonstrating how they have to be placed.

 

walldemonstration.png

 

The walls are at the back of the lot and, as Magneto said, the lot foundation is at zero. Streets at the top and bottom keep the land from deforming when you place them, and you have the lot facing uphill. Otherwise, it will "indent" the terrain.

 

I don't have the redbrick plaza lots (Skydrive said it was deleted), but I assume they work the same way.

Lost Realist - it's actually easier to make your own from scratch if you don't want his look at all, then you don't need his walls as dependencies. The wall in that picture you guys were discussing is NekoSlopeWall03_Nomal (I am pretty sure) from Neko's prop pack and I think it actually is the nicest one for that kind of thing.

 

As far as placing them, you need to have a road along the bottom of the slope to keep it from doing that. Road at the bottom, arrow pointing up when placing the lot. That's how you would do it whether you use those redbrick walls or any other similiar style walls.

 

 

EDIT** - Nice walls nosferatu247! Beat me to it, the explanation of placement I mean.

They are indeed easy to make, and if you've never seen my CJ, I've been experimenting with these walls for the last 6months or more.

 

You can see some of the ideas I've shown to help inspire you to create your own.

Does anyone know where I can find this BAT?  Sorry for the small picture size, it is the only one I could find.  I know I have seen this building in a CJ somewhere awhile back.
