Ploppable textures?

It's been a while, as I've said, so I have a basic question about dirt. I know about Peg's trails, I remember some ploppable flowers and have the fantastic tree package, but is there something that would give me a few basic dirt or concrete textures I can use to fill things in?

Thank you all in advance.

Check the Dependencies packs in the STEX. There's a fair variety of them. You'll have to make something with them in LotEditor, like 1x1 lots or whatever size you want. I usually make 1x1s and 6x6s. Occasionally 3x3s.

Are you simply looking for lots you can place that will add a 1x1 tile texture? Assuming that's so, you could of course find some textures and make your own lots, but there are plenty of such "fillers" that have been released previously.

I have a set, primarily focussed on Sidewalks and Grass Textures, but there are some other options in there too. I use the Fillers Addon for IRM for Concrete Textures, but you might find that a bit much (dependencies and the number of lots included), if you only wanted a basic concrete lot. But they are here:

I-D Fillers/I-M Fillers/I-HT Fillers

If you are considering lotting your own, I've a basic step-by-step guide to making lots you can find here.

Otherwise, I wonder if some MMP paths might not fit the bill here? You can use these to drag paths wherever you like, "painting" the landscape with them as it were. My favourite sets would be the RRP Draggable Paths, FankU's Heblem's Sands addon (technically sand, but makes great paths too) and RFR Draggable Paths.

Head over to my Lot and Mod Shack to keep abreast of my latest developments.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

New to the NAM? Check out my tutorials on YouTube. Latest upload: How to: RHW - MHO Roundabout Interchanges. (Nov 25).

p.s. - I'm MGB over on SC4D and a member of the NAM team.

    I'm sorry I took so long to get back- these are little lifesavers, especially for creating realistic parking lots. I'm still getting back into the swing of things. Again, thank you all.
