Does anyone know where I can find these beach props?

Those would be Heblem's creations:
LBT Tropical Beach Props (it a prop pack, but also contains lots)
HBS Tropical Tiki Huts

Also recommended, I guess:
HBS Flora Prop Pack vol.01
HBS Tropical Flora Pack (Mayor Mode)

Hi!

1. Hm... I don't think there is a thing like that, but actually check this mod from @Tarkus. It turns your street to a matching texture with the Road. And the grey street texture bacomes a SAM texture (SAM-7, I think). In that case, you actually use the road tool for the neighbour connection and it won't be wierd. 

TRK-NAM Default Asphalt Streets Mod (with Maxis Gray SAM-7 Replacement)

I don't know the second one. Sorry.

- Tyberius

Thanks for that @Tyberius06, it certainly looks a lot better than the default option:

If anyone has any advances on this, please let me know. Also, I wonder what impact (if any) briefly turning into a road might have on the traffic simulation (will it effect decisions made by commuters)? But that's probably a question for another thread...

Hi, I'm not sure I understand, are you looking for something like that?  

No, but thanks @hugues aroux, that's an interesting idea that I'm sure will come in handy at some point. I can see why my wording confused you - hopefully my picture better demonstrates...

@mrbisonm Could you please send me these houses ? As I said I've tried to contact Youcef back in the day and as others have published lost stuff without waiting for the original creator's permission, maybe there's something we could do here.

As I mentioned before, I cannot send them, because I need to know their names to be able to find them in my 14.3 Gb Plugins, I just don't have hundreds of files in there, but thousands......

@mrbisonm @gwada971 By any chance, do you remember if these Youcef houses can be found anywhere ? I've searched for pretty long for these, among other "lost" TSC stuff a few years ago, and I came to the conclusion that it was never shared publicly

If I knew where they're from, I wouldn't be here to ask where I can find them......logic.

Hiya Fred,

I must admit I'm somewhat familiar with modding tools but totally unfamiliar with analysis tools. Your screenshot showed names and descriptions of the buildings in question. Both of these must be in LTEXT files inside the items in question. Does anybody know if there's an analysis tool out there that is capable of parsing SC4 files for certain text strings? This would make it super easy to find them.

Failing this, a binary search is always a last resort, but it's tedious as well. At 13 GB, it would take 4-5 iterations to bring the total plugins folder size down to something that could be sent over the net for somebody else to poke around... depending on your internet connection, of course!

[gwada971 1,891]

Hi, @mrbisonm I found the pack of these houses. You have to look for the following file names in your plugins folder or in the LE (see screenshot below).

To avoid brown boxes, you need the 2 house pack of LBT here : https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=890 and here https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=653 and the LBT Mega Prop Pack vol.01 here

Why? I don't know, because it' s not mentioned in SC4Tool. Here is my Plugins folder for this Youcef pack and it works

@Krasner and maybe other members "Cerise sur le gâteau" you can find this pack here in this post from Youcef https://www.toutsimcities.com/threads/view/708967/page:1#709019

Best regards and take care.

Hi, I have a couple of questions:

1: I'm not even sure if this exists, but it should. I am looking for a road piece that has a street texture, in order to make functional street neighbour connections that don't look weird.

 

Maybe this? sorry if it wasn't what you were looking for

hai all, can u help me where i can find building the blue one and the silver one in behind

and is there any yellow crossroad like in picture for SimCity 4 ?

[gwada971 1,891]

@satria sandman Hi, here: https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1176 and here:  https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1173 for this 2 buildings

[Yarahi 1,816]

@satria sandman The blue building is the CCTV Building; https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1176 and the silver behind it looks like TVCC Building; https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1173

only yellow crosswalks i know of are zebra-striped by ebina here; https://www.mediafire.com/?nu6p0121f79rw 
but they are only for roads i believe. Criss-crossing crosswalks for big intersections like in your picture only the white ones in NAM exists

Hmm...so cf4l3fl4m3, you want something fitting for a North American small-town setting eh? Mattb325 did the Concord NH post office a while back, a lovely late 19th century design that came in a couple lot flavors, one of which is a community college:

https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2402

I can think of a few universities as well, let me know if you want a directory of those!

Thanks for this! I think I saw this long before (and forgot about it) but passed it up because I didn't want it to grow a commercial building that looked like the College (for ease of identification at a glance) but didn't know which file specifically to leave out (or even if I could leave it out without breaking it). What file DO I leave out and CAN I leave it out w/o getting brown boxes?

Are there any other small community colleges (non-modern) that would work in other cultures' settings? Some of my larger cities are getting quite the Little Asia section and I'm sure they'd like a culturally appropriate community college (where they can teach more about their languages & culture). ANd I'm always down for other cultures, too. (Also, isn't there some kind of Church-Turned-Community-College somewhere, as part of a set with other Churches-Turned-Educational-or-Medical-Buildings? (Because I have the Cathedral Library from that set.))

Okay c4bl3fl4m3, when you download the Concord NH post office folder, the folder will come will four files. You will want to delete two of the lot files, one is for a CS$$$ ploppable, the other for a CS$$$ growable. You will keep the other two files, which are the college lot and the DESC file for the model. See attached! Those boxed in red are the ones you will want to delete, those not boxed you will want to keep!

As to your other question about small colleges specific to certain cultures, I will need to give it some thought...

Any mod to add lights/barriers to RHW? specially RHW-4. I found this RHW Lights and Barriers but doesn't work with the current NAM/RHW version. Also found this Catalyst T-21 for RHW but sadly no lights :/ but i 'm gonna use it if i don't find anything else.

[mrbisonm 1,622]

Back to looking for something, I wonder if there are any small private docks that we can plop on "real  sc water", those that we see on lakes and rivers. Something like  a MMP, like on the picture. Thanks

I think these might be just what you're looking for: 

 

[Lucario Boricua 7,031]

I'm looking for a super specific thing, the Alvinheriadi Slope Mod 3.0.

I'm having some great progress with testing the other slope mods for the upcoming Slope Mod Shoppe, but I want to make sure I have all the links to credit the respective authors and make the various options available to all players. I haven't found it neither here at Simtropolis nor at SC4 Devotion, so it's possible that it's hosted at another site. And the weird thing is that I had found it before, and do have the files myself!

Any assistance in getting it is amazingly appreciated!

[junspud 1,066]

Does anyone happen to know where this prop might be coming from?

The white staircase looking thing keeps popping up on lots, I think it's overriding a maxis trash can prop or something but I can't figure out how to get rid of it.

Bless you and thanks. So sorry O could not do a picture as the only picture I had of it was a big brown box.

Now I surfed over to Germany's http://www.simcityplaza.de 

and wow did I find some awesome Train stations, but they are all in German!   Bahnhof Fenchurch Street, 

Bahnhof mit Uhrturm von SimGoober   

and more.. i tried searching for a english version on simtropolis and sc4devotion plus google and Yandex but had no luck. Any one know who would have translated versions?

 

[gwada971 1,891]

@ChristineReardon  Hi, your problem is solved, that's good. You can find the english version by SimGoober on the STEX here:

and for the other here

Try to search with the creator's name (SimGoober, ILL Tonkso, etc.) on the STEX or LEX most of the files in simcityplaza.de have their english version

Have a good day

So I did some research into this. The user formerly known as Moonei is now @Former User 225, as made clear in this post https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/7169-well-this-sucks/. Unfortunately, if you go to their files page, nothing is posted. https://community.simtropolis.com/profile/4161-former-user-225/content/?type=downloads_file&page=1&sortby=file_last_comment&sortdirection=desc I also looked at SC4Devotion's LEX and no dice. Therefore the only way to get this file is if a member of the community still has it on their HD and it can be restored to the STEX. Anyone?

That being said, I did update the dependencies to actually go to the proper pages.

@CorinaMarie, @catty-cb and @Cyclone Boom Have you checked the first two STEX Disc for the original models? The model looks nice, I though it probably made it to one of the discs. 
Just an idea...

[gwada971 1,891]

@Tyberius06 Good idea but unfortunately I believe that this file is not part of the 2 STEX discs.
I have 2 text files that I found on the net a few years ago that list the contents of these 2 discs, if it can be useful to someone.

I just checked both discs and can confirm the model file is not on them. The re-lot by @woelfwynde is on Disc 2, but it's the same as already available on the STEX itself.
