Overlay Texture conflict?

Actually, judging by how the lot looks like, it seems it is overriding 0xf918010a, not 0x25901000.

Ah! Yes, ofc. I see it that way now.

@Lazarou Monkey Terror I just tested this theory by modifying the wealth property in the building exemplar file by replacing 0x02 by 0x03, which means the lot is considered to be of high wealth. It seems to fix this, at least I got the right texture when I tried it in-game. Please try out the file I've attached below and see if it works for you as well. That seems to indicate that I was right about the wealth-dependent texture, but this is a rather unelegant solution.

OK, that's even stranger, you don't even have that offending texture on this lot.

A few questions: Did you make this lot yourself in LE or did it come with the Thing?

Do you maybe still have some outdated files or lots in your Plugins folder?

I couldn't understand the Readme, but if I'm getting this right, this part of the Thing has been updated at some time during its development. If this is true, then maybe you are having a conflict with an old lot somewhere. You might want to consider uninstalling the Thing entirely (or at least this part of it) and then reinstalling the most recent version.

The lot is my own creation, I use The Thing everywhere in my city but needed something to go under a monorail, so tried my hand at making something new. 
I made the lot by copying a similar one for the BSC parks, changing the overlay texture and renaming some things.

I'll try it out once we've finish our movies for tonight, this is some incredible sleuthing, thankyou!

It works!

Fantastic work everyone!

 

So going forward, what do I need to change in Reader in a lot where this shows up?
