yeah, I keep all files that I download in a seperate folder as well - both the zip and unzipped versions. Right now that folder is starting to get cluttered, but as you say it does help to know what has already been downloaded. Finding someway to give the prop makers credit would alleviate some problems to the plagarism idea.

I would also like to thank everyone for their creations and alos add that it does get frustrating when you miss a prop download and finding out after waiting 10 minutes to load. It is not too difficult to read the readme and find what props are needed - but after downloading so many lots you start to forget wether or not the props that are required are already downloaded or not. One question - the group of people that include the auto installer to their lots are definitely my favorite. Would it be possible to automatically include the required props in those auto-installers? That way if more people learned how to use the auto-installer and included the props with it, a lot would be solved then. Is this feasible?

trees are one of the best things you can do to transform from dirty and manufacturing to high tech. I usually use the god-mode cheat and spend a few minutes just sitting there letting trees grow on my dirty industry - after a while they start to build high tech (as long as the demand is there).

Yeah, that's pretty much the picture I had in mind, just how to do it is what I have no idea about. I'm not a great BATer so I'm hoping someone with more experience would have some ideas and possibly produce something. Multiple 1x1 buildings to piece together would be kind of crazy...

I am fairly certain this is possible - I've seen a diagonal train station (can't remember the creator...sorry, it is a great station and I use it in every city). And also there are lots out there to look like the space under a freeway is being used. Wouldn't it be possible to create a building that overlaps enough space to appear as if it is abutting the road? Basically the same idea as the train station, but on a larger scale. BBBBR BBBRR BBRRO BRROO RROOO This is an example of what I am talking about. B-building, R-road, O-open (actually just the other side of the road. The bold B represents the actual space to plop the building, and the other B's represent the space taken up...

there is another possibility without the NAM. R FFRAAAAAAAA FFRAAAAAAAA R The only problem with this is that you have to have a cross-road right next to the ferry. But it all connects properly.

another question.....I've looked all over but can't find anything to change the trees...how do you get the tall pines? And what water mod was used by urbanlegend?
