What would really give this site the edge over Steam Workshop is if it required that anyone suggesting a building or service mod for upload, should spell out the stats for the building/service (e.g. area-of-effect radius, number of workers, power used, etc.), and whether these differ from the stats in the vanilla game. I really appreciate the hard work of the modding community, but any mod that doesn't state what effect it has in-game becomes instantly less attractive to download.

Also: where did you get those brown slopes that go down to that water's edge in the main Highlands photo?!! They look great with the water washing against them.

I'm especially interested in Burlington, as I'm looking for good ways of making realistic small and mainly residential communities on the edge of bigger conurbations. This is a nice model. It's kind of like a small suburb, but set in the same surrounding context as you might find for a village. And from that perspective, personally I'd want smaller buildings lining the river-side road. But I love the surrounding farming landscape, and the fact that Burlington's on the other side of the river from the city (or so I presume?!), and the small streets with limited numbers of houses on each. Great work!

[quote name='speedyj' timestamp='1329342294'] I agree with Starfleet. Great idea, really well done, but I'm a bit of a realism freak so I'd prefer it if this had workers and energy/water needs. What if it came with an 'office building' or something? The workers could commute to that every day and it would be more realistic. [/quote] Having said that, I'm using it and enjoying it so I'm rating it highly!

Beautiful, thank you. They really prettify my towns! It would be amazing if these carried pedestrian traffic - do you have any plans for that? My only other comment is it would be useful to have a short Readme with the download, telling you where to find the lot in the game menus! It took me too long to realise it was in parks...

Frustration... I think this is a brilliant idea and it looks great. But unfortunately, I can't use it because it doesn't work on the textures included in the Street Addon Mod (SAM). If I have to choose between having more realistic cul-de-sacs, and having a wide range of street textures which SAM provides, I'm afraid I choose SAM. Now, if you could just make it work with SAM...

Another realism freak here, checking in to say thanks. This is great - a must-have for my games. @slightlyslack: there's interesting quirk you might want to look at. I plugged this in halfway through a game, and although it halved the populations of every Residential building, and halved the R-curves on the population graph, the population displayed on the main UI and on the region map did not halve. That makes less of a difference if you plug in near the start of a game, but if you can fix this, it might attract more people who get well into through a game before realising their suburbs look like they're full of youth hostels.

What an effect this has on the view. Something for everyone: effects to be rendered affectionately by non-North Americans ;), or marvelled at in the region view by geological aesthetes, or relished by those who just want to see sims driving in snow. I'm off to find a snow-plough prop. Thank you mayspacy.
