Thanks! I looked at those, but had no idea that those were the same.

Hello, I am looking for some road barriers, like the orange and white ones that are often used during road construction projects.

Red/white - you're looking for Murimks safety markers included here:

A nice collection of guard railings, barriers and reflector posts you find in here

White/orange pylons you find in here.

May I ask: what is the red barn or school building @Ln X posted here:

Hi @waybig Those quayside / walls are very clever. The paving texture (the flat bit on top) will adapt to your sidewalk if you have a custom version - (like sandstone) or many of the other available ones then the paving texture on top will match your sidewalk, so it may look quite different for every user. 

The seawalls are the best ones available I think, not always easy to work with but once you learn how they work and how to keep them 'level', they look great in lots of environments. They work in 'gamewater' so you can use them for 'real' rivers or for MMP rivers, and recently I have copied @feyss and @_Michael and just used them as normal retaining walls in the city, far from any water.

Hi Folks.  I have another building I want to download but cannot find.  I have downloaded a screen shot that shows a brownish building on the lower right with a white and blue sign on the roof which I think says "Hotel".  Does anyone know where I can find that BAT?  Thanks in advance.

[Yarahi 1,823]

@will62russ Look at this site; http://gobanboshi.s25.xrea.com/

Hello there

I can't find this excellent post-hausmannian corner, I just saw it for the first time in this old screenshot from feyss

I guess it's from a creator I don't know about yet, or I just missed something. So its high qualiy makes me even more curious about it

[elavery 1,013]

It is this BAT: 

Aradras did some good BATing, although his BATs were often a bit oversize in terms of scaling.

[Krasner 1,062]

Thank ya elavery  Didn't knew about Aradras, seems like a great bater

are there any mods that add textures to the medians on the three tile six-lane avenue?

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

Where can I find the white building w/ the squares on its roof.

This one: look the instructions carefully, it is not simply descompressing and playing

Is the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, a reskin for the Census Repository; keep in mind you need the original census buildings to make it work

 

[jose_olegs 8]

thank you are there also mods that takes off the grass on the AVE-6? I hate the grass textures because it looks out of place in my downtown area

Which removes ALL sidewalk grass from all networks; consider that if you also are doing suburbs

I'm looking for high density R$$ towers that I can download, I'm having some trouble finding them here or LEX.  Any help would be highly appreciated and I would love as many of them as possible, especially 4x4 lots, for a large city I'm working on in a region. Reason being is that I'm tired of the repetition of R$$ towers and the game just keeps spamming 4x4 Zaidi Apartments everywhere lol 

I have a huge amount of downloaded commercial office and Services in my plugins, and some R$$$/R$ too, R$$ homes too, but I barely have any R$$ towers at all. Would love some high density R$$ and also some medium density too since certain 2x2 medium R$$s keep popping up like weeds, and I figure it's because the game has a limited selection of those particular buildings to choose from and that's why I'd like to really expand it.

Also, bonus if anyone can help, is there any way to get the R$$ 1x2 row houses to show without having to make them historical? I want to get a nice row house section in my city but the many 2x2 R$$ lots keep taking over them.

[matias93 7,535]

Interesting questions! Nevertheless, they work better on their adequate thread: Can't find it. I'll move your post there and then answer what I can. Surely many others will help there too...

EDIT: already moved. Answering...

I guess this is your problem, one I faced several times before: repetition is sure if you repeat the same zoning footprint: 4x4 high rise is particularly repetitive, as Maxis didn't made much more than the 4 (one for style) level 8 towers. You'll see this gets much ameliorated if you zone in a more diverse fashion, simply because the repetitive towers will be more spaced, and several more of an smaller footprint would be able to appear between them.

Did you try the LEX power search tool? It has ordered categories that are very relevant to your query, as high rise residentials or outrightly CAM residentials. Remember, in any case, that most of them are lot packs, so you'll have to install several dependencies for the models. And while there is more variety on low wealth medium density big lots, there are several ones available for R$$, particularly by Mattb325. Big lots are a great way to produce more variation, but you have to zone them specifically: keep the Control key pressed while zoning to produce the required areas: typically 6x6, 5x5, sometimes even weird things like 7x8 or 12x6.

The basic option is simply to zone them accordingly, as 1x1 medium residential. Sometimes, alternating 1x1 high rise residential is useful to avoid the overriding, provided you haven't installed pencil towers that would grow over the rowhouses. You can also do the same with commercial zoning, which usually blends well and helps to reduce long commutes. If nothing else works, making historical is a sure way, but once again, alternating it is more than enough: 2x2 or 2x3 medium residentials cannot overgrow a checkered pattern of historical and non-historical rowhouses.

I lost an external hard drive that had ALL of my Simcity 4 files on it.  Probably 10 gigs worth.  I was cleaning out my main hard drive and had moved them over.  I have tried everything possible to retrieve them, but they are completely lost.  I am heartbroken.

I am starting to re-download all of my favorite files, and I have run into a roadblock.  I cannot find any of APTX's BATS or Kei's BATs available for download anywhere at all.  I have tried every search to no avail.  If anyone has a link, or the files themselves, please let me know, as I would be eternally grateful.

Thank you very much,

Jason

I'll move this to the Can't Find It thread...

EDIT: moved! I guess @Yarahi could guide you from here; I know several APTX things are still available, but I don't remember where (maybe on Simcity China?)

Yes, on sc-china. But Hide&Seek is probably easier.

Go here; https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=361.0 to find links for both that and Kei's bats (@gobanoshi's site)

[KidChaos2 13]

I know this is going to sound dumb, but I don't have a link to the SC China site.  I don't think I've ever been there.  Do you have a link?  If you could please pass that on, it would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks again.

This is the link for the start-page of the file exchange; http://www.simcity.cn/forum-49-1.html - link no.3 (3225 replies/comments) contains only re-uploaded versions of content from other sites (simtropolis/sc4devotion/simpeg...) - link no.2 contains original content made by members of the site

Fanta has uploaded files from a couple of creators whoose content has been lost over the years (aptx/kei/tabi/nob) in addition to a lot of his own creations; http://www.simcity.cn/thread-99303-1-1.html

I'd suggest having a translated version of this site open in a tab in your browser next to a tab with the original - this because you are not able to log in/download/view pics in the translated version

@Jackxu has uploaded a couple of mods aimed at changing different NWM networks; https://community.simtropolis.com/profile/270875-jackxu/content/?type=downloads_file

If I'm not mistaken the old MAVE-6 should be the same as AVE-6

Shot in the dark but does anyone know whether there's a prop family for @VIP Team's HD people props?

Of one for NAM's?

[Fantozzi 4,068]

Does somebody recognize this small houses? I made the lots myself some years ago and now I can't find the models anymore. They could be part of some bigger pack with different content.
