UHaul Billboard Model Missing

[vw_oklahoma 308]

Hello. This file is not working. Specifically, the taller road sign does not appear. As far as I can tell, the sc4model file is missing. Everything else appears correctly. Does anyone know where I can download the model file for this?

Hi, i´m going to test it. Hang on...

*Edit* Back from testing. The diagonal one works... but the other one?...

Yes, that's the results I am getting. The shorter sign is working fine, but the taller sign that reads UHAUL in blocks does not appear, just the park around the base.

I've peeked inside the file and the model for the taller sign is indeed missing so it's simply borked that way. We'll add a message banner to the STEX page for it to warn other peeps.

@City_Slider @CorinaMarie Thanks for looking in to it. I was hopeful someone knew where to find the model file, but it appears not to be the case. I wish I knew how to fix it myself, its a great bat. I will continue using it for a small park. Thanks again.

Hiya @vw_oklahoma, I'm not sure if this is you're looking for, Just saw it from a post in SC4D by RebaLynnTS, however I don't know how to search there, hope it helps.

Sincerely,

Probably hard to @Tyberius06, From a thread by @xxdita in SC4D, someone has reported this missing model, whereas seemed nothing after that, I'd like to and I have tried to make one as a dependency or same IID of model file today, But I couldn't find out a reference pic which is same as this one, the best i got is this:

Anyway, If I can get good pics, (There is no U-HAUL in my country)I want to give it a shot, Ofc under the Guidelines of our community.

HM... I try to browse through my folders for Becca's other uploads. Maybe the model file was released with another upload and they forgot to link as a dependency. I'll check it after my shift (6-7 hours).

Could you check the sign props from this upload or any other MSS uploads, Raymond?

I am at work. I can not dig it into them.

[City_Slider 2,716]

It must be late for you Ray. 1:38 in the Morning?

[vw_oklahoma 308]

I'm not sure this is helpful, but I installed the mms 2 file in my plugins and the model is still not there. Same results as before.  

[City_Slider 2,716]

Cori? Could you move this to an own Thread? Thats a bit specific.

Done.

@vw_oklahoma @City_Slider @Raymond7cn @Tyberius06 Y'all can re-follow this thread to continue receiving beeps for new posts. (Upper right corner of the thread.)

[City_Slider 2,716]

Thanks Honey

[vw_oklahoma 308]

Sorry about posting  in the other thread. i was just so sure someone could point out where the missing model was and i was overlooking it. but you're right, this should be in its own thread. thanks for getting it sorted out. 

 

[City_Slider 2,716]

No sorry´s please Mate :-)

No worries at all.

I'd've thought the same to begin with if I were in your shoes. And, as it turned out, no post had replies for other things so it was quite easy to split out.

Hi!

So I checked his own site, and there used to be an updated/fixed set for this UHAUL bonus, but the site is gone now and webarchive didn't store the actual file. The only chance if someone actually downloaded this upload later from his site. I don't know if @CaptCity might have this file from this site: https://web.archive.org/web/20120609105832/http://www.freewebs.com/daddyo117272ver3/simcity4downloads.htm

It should be like 742 kbyte. Actually both of the models are missing from the STEX version for the highway signs (ortho and diagonal) 

Sorry, this seems to be a total loss. Other chance would be @mrbisonm perhaps, if he has time to browse through his hundreds of CDs and DVDs for SC4 contents. In that case the model names should be something like these:

Highway Sign - UHAUL Diagonal-
Highway Sign - UHAUL-

- Tyberius

try this file by the same author https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/16226-uhaul-storage-center/  the file contains a model that looks like the one you are searching for but it is not the one  you can replace the missing sign with this one

Dunno if this will help but @BIWDC has a comment listed on each of the UHAUL lots mentioned so far and unlike every other commenter, they were last on the site on May 14, not 15 years ago like most of the rest of them. Any chance you've still got the files kicking around somewhere?

@Tyberius06 and others...

When I first saw this posted, I went digging... I did notice I had two different downloads for this set - a second one dated a few months after the STEX file (September). I can only think I did download the newer one from Daddyo's site. Unfortunately, wherever I did get it from, the issue stilled exists with the newer set. Seems like the one from his/her site (if that's where I got it) simply combined the sign set with the signs from the Storage set (@sejr99999's link) that was made available. No other files were included nor updated. Thought I was on to something, but it turned into a false alarm. And like @vw_oklahoma, I also tried every MSS file set I had since Becca referred to the sign in her post, but no luck there either.

Hopefully, someone may have a corrected copy somewhere.

I made one with the same dimension, but won't release it until we still have no luck with others's repository, I should respect the Original author's work. it could be the last possible alternatives.

BTW, I saw some nice UHAUL trucks along with searching references, I'd like to make some UHAUL bottoms (less verticals) which may can be attached to vanilla's automatas.

[vw_oklahoma 308]

@Raymond7cn that sign looks great. I'm hopeful someone can find the original file too.
