 Does anyone know where I can find the recreation center in the circle? Thanks!

Looks like something someone has put together for their own personal use. Probably not avaliable for download.

But... 

you can find the main buildings used in these packs;

Thanks, unfortunately the download is missing. Hopefully it will be restored

This looks to me like the JRJ01 Residential wall from the WP2 Wall Texture Addon Pack 01. You can find it on SimCity Square: https://cafe.naver.com/simcitysquare/36469

I think something is wrong with the textures on these lots. Am I missing something?

[jestarr 3,410]

The textures for these lots should be in the BSC texture .dats included here. However these appear to be relots using my buildings so I may be mistaken.

I need the actual file name and where you did get this file.

Is there a mod that prevents abandoned buildings from turning grey? I seem to remember one existing, but now that I am trying to look for it I am unable to find it.

I have all the typical anti-abandonment fixes applied but I still get the occasional abandoned building, and would prefer it to look normal rather than being greyed out.

By this I presume you mean @Bones1's Less Abandonment Mod (which is the proper one to use). 

There is another, Abandonment Dilapidation Modd 1.2, which goes a different route and alters the Stay New Time. This can give the illusion of no abandonment, but the underlying problem is still present.

The two cannot be used together since they modify the same exemplar, but if that latter does what you want we can edit it to also have Bones1's tweaks.

Along this same idea, are you wanting this tweak for better pics? I ask cause there's also a mod I created for someone called Zots Begone which is also a bad idea for game play, but was to help them with getting game pics.

[Zephyrus22 109]

You know, I thought I did have the Less Abandonment Mod installed, but now looking at my plugins I can't seem to find it. Maybe I removed it while troubleshooting something and forgot to put it back in. Hopefully reinstalling it will fix my problem. I think the Abandonment Dilapidation Mod was the one I was thinking of, but I'll go with the other one for now and try it out.

Anyway, I wanted to prevent buildings from turning grey for cosmetic purposes. I just don't like how it looks during gameplay. I don't mind the For Sale sign out front, but the greyed out appearance of abandoned buildings in the game just looks unrealistic to me. Maybe it makes sense for a haunted mansion in the woods, but not for every vacant building in a given city. I guess I prefer to think of those buildings as being temporarily vacant rather than abandoned.

I reinstalled the BSC dependency pack but some lots still have that weird texture. If you look at the Anaheim citrus company, it looks like a texture override. I have all 3 BSC textures installed. On the Jones Bros lot, there's no texture on the ground. It indicates that I need BSC Textures Vol02 but I have that it my plugins folder. Any thoughts?

Do you have jes_ResourcePack_Vol27 v6 installed? That's a required dependency for Jones Bros. Installing that may also fix some of the other texture problems.

[9gruntsand1hammer 3,195]

That was the one I was missing, thanks. Didn't realize it had textures in it as well. Fixed my problem.

Today, after experiencing more frustration with "Abandoned due to commute time", I had an idea for a simple mod. But before I started trying to make it myself, I thought I'd ask if this already exists so I'm not wasting my time doing something that's already been done.

I was thinking that I could use a program like PIM-X or Reader to take a 1x1 tile (Park, grass, pavement, etc) and give it the properties of a CO$$$ or I-HT lot with like 1,000 jobs, and just place one on every block to make jobs abundant in my city. I know this is super cheaty but I'd rather have this than a bunch of abandoned buildings. I imagine that this should be relatively simple to create (unless someone more skilled than me thinks otherwise), but I am curious if this kind of thing already exists. Years ago I found a similar mod that made utilities like power and garbage into a 1x1 tile for cosmetic purposes, so the concept has been done before. I'm just not sure if this specific concept has been made.

I'd be curious to see how that works out. IDK, but my gut feeling is the rest of the game would see an enormous demand imbalance and go all wonky. 

Do you use any Demand Enhancers? If not, I believe the first thing I'd try is the Plopmatic 9000. It's completely cheaty and fulfills that role well.

Thanks for sharing this. I do use the Industry Quadrupler for more jobs, not sure if that counts as a demand enhancer or not. Other than that, I don't have any specific demand enhancers unless they are a side effect of another mod (NAM, CAM, Less Abandonment, etc), yet I am still experiencing an insatiable demand for jobs that feels impossible to meet without completely ruining the aesthetics of my cities. I might try to dabble with creating something like I previously described once I have the time to do so.

It does not count. Actually quite the opposite in a good way.

Imagine this: You have demand for 1000 jobs and in vanilla we'll say you zone and grow 4 factories with each employing 250 Sims. That's fine, but takes up a lot of space. With the quadrupler, you'll only need to grow one factory which employs 1000 and it looks much more tidy and realistic in your city.  

But in both cases the industrial demand drops from 1000 to 0. (Then, ofc, more Sims move in and industrial demand can go back up.)

CAM

While I've never used it, I know wee bits about it. CAM is designed to even out demand over a much, much smoother curve and it lets your growth mimic the real world much better. It also has its own staged demand enhancers so do not use the Plopmatic 9000 while using CAM.

This took me a few years to understand: You don't need to fulfill demand at all. Ever. Consider the demands as Building Permit Requests for each of the categories of R, C, or I. That's simply the respective developers saying: I like what I see here and please let me build.

The key part is you can go along your merry way zoning and growing only what it takes to make a happy, aesthetically pleasing city. If you have residential which keeps turning dilapidated, de-zone it. Not just bulldoze, but de-zone. Keep doing this until you strike a balance that your city as laid out supports.

And when you do zone for more residential, create those in smaller doses and let time run until they settle down and become stable.

It's probably part of bigger prop pack.

I believe those are part of NKT's baseball fields. I'll attach it here since NKT's items may have been part of the 'found' list and have not been restored yet.

All of Moonlight’s stuff was archived here on Simtropolis, and it should contain the Elevated Rail files. Unfortunately they seem to be missing for moment, but should be back before long.

I’m not up to speed on the current recovery efforts, so not the best person to ask. If you want them immediately, I’m fairly certain this compilation was uploaded on the Discord while the site was down
