I have recently discovered Transit enabled lots. I love them so much that I want every lot that should have or does have a parking lot to be transit enabled. I have so far unsuccessfully tinkered around with little success. I understand the concepts, but the lack of documentation and one comprehensive tutorial has hampered my efforts thus far. My intention is to edit every maxis lot and every lot I download to have at least the appearance of being transit enabled, where the pavement overlaps the road and looks real. I don't know if transit enabling all the lots would screw the game up. Anyway, can someone please post step by step instructions on how to transit enable lots, or at least give them the appearance of being transit enabled. I have the SC4Tool, and the LotEditor. I use Nam, Sam, RHM, RTMTv3, I also have all the working landmarks dowloaded. I do not use any type of plugin manager, and have no custom lots requiring depencies, therefore I have no props, or textures other than the maxis ones, or ones which were included with the above mods. A few of the problems I have been running into are as follows: When opening lots, textues, dats and so forth with the lot editor or the sc4 tool, I don't know what the names and descriptions are very cryptic, is there some sort of database which contains a better description so I know what files are what? When attempting to extend a parking lot past over the edge of the road texture, giving it the appearance of being transit enabled, I don't know whether to use a texture or a prop for the overlay, and do I have to create or download this texture or prop, or is it something which should already be in my database? I have read somewhere a mention that sc4 tool isn't made to work properly on windows 7, is there an update? And while we're at it what are the latest versions of the programs I will need and please provide links to them. Thank you very much for any help anyone is willing to offer. I would love to convert all the maxis lots and make them available since it doesn't seem anyone has done so yet. Or maybe they have, if so, where can I find them?

I am kind of a newb/troll. I've been playing simcity for a long time, just recently bought it again for like the 4th time in my life. I am big fan of all those who create the custom content and keep this game alive. IMO, this is and until it is redesigned and re-released by maxis, will always be the best SC game ever created. I used to be more of a grid style player but am trying to make the transition into more realistic cities, and I have recently discovered "transit enabled" buildings. I would like to know, has anyone gone through all of the original maxis lots and modified them to include parking and "transit enabled" all of them? And if so, is there a place I can get them all in one download so I can just replace them all at once? I can't seem to find the rural rail stuff I remember either, it seems all the web pages have been redesigned and their search functions don't seem to work well for me. I know these all exist, but I am having trouble finding things I remember, I would also like to know where to find a good working puzzle piece systems (like the Sam) for fences and parking lots. Don't know if this matters, but I use the Nam, Sam, Rtmt, Hsr, Rhm, and have installed the working landmarks mod. Has anyone purchased the dvds this site offers? Do you think it would be a good purchase for myself?
