This is a FUNCTIONAL parkinglot, which lets sims park their cars on the road. Small plopp cost & no maintence fee. Idea came from Tri, so give the man a hand! This lot is complete and will not feature an update. Has its own description and all! Also tested it all day for various situations - bugs unlikely. The Capacity of this lot is slightly less than a road (depending on whether or not your using a mod), Its 1500 (or 3000 when quering it, which combines morning commute & evening commute). Notice that through traffic DOES add to the capacity of the lot. Thats why it has such a high capacity, for just a 'few' parking spaces along the road. A few rules to follow when placing it: - since this lot is 4 spaces wide, IT WILL cut off road access to buildings. So when you place this lot, make sure that you place it either next to BIG buildings that have a second road access, or place it near buildings, like in my example, where the lots FACE THE OTHER road. - Generally speaking, if you have a Grid traffic system for your map or just the downtown, you shouldn't have a problem finding a suitable spot. Question: Why is it so big? Answer: Because the capacity of the parking lot has to be similar to the capacity of 'a' road. ANd i figured it be more 'realistic' when there would be more parking space visible. Besides, it looks real good on the screenshot, no? Question: Where can i use this? Answer: Well, it has the same usefulness as any other parking lot. But given that it is a downtown type of parking lot, i'll admit it has not much use, since you are supposed to provide parking near MT, which then eventually takes you to work. I actually designed it to go with a future radical mod, that requires you to provide parking spaces at work, which will be released 'soon' . BUt since it has no maintence fee, you can use it to improve the look of your downtown, and wouldn't you agree this lot looks nice at night? (especially zoomed out) Enjoy! ===== UPDATE! Version 2 Tri just had to find a bug I just noticed that i used a overlay texture which was not on everyones machine. I fixed it real quick. Sorry, it happens. ===== UPDATE Version 3 Sorry it took so long, but i'm sick. Anyway, added: - 1x1 Roadside parking lot for Roads Looks similar to 4x1 lot, except its cut off - 1x1 Roadside parking lot for Streets/residential areas On this lot, the cars actually touch the street, appearin got block traffic. Unfortunatly, from certain angles it looks like cars are driving partly through them, But from other angles, it looks good oh well - Changed capacity of lots to affect gameplay. 4x1 has capacity of a Standard road, has no negative effect Both 1x1 lots cut the capacity of the road in half. SO if the streets get busy, better upgrade to the 4x1! Sorry, no new screenshots
