Second lot of the motel multi-lot almost done. Also learning to make a hip roof was an experience...
-
Finally got the motel in game.... Also the game keeps track of Leap Years, never noticed until now...

Ah, yes I imported an older big city just before this, and now when I moved it to a non-adjacent tile this crazy demand spike went back to normal. Thanks for the tip about the adjoining city, funny the things I still don't know about even after playing the game for almost 20 years now...
-
So it's been forever since I've started a new city, but something tells me this is probably not natural demand once the city hits about 1500 population: Prior to this the demand was rather even, now all residential demand has topped out, and CO$$ and I-HT has totally sank, is this from a mod possibly? (I looked but didn't find the super demand mod in my plugins)

I've actually not used the CAM yet, I was trying to upgrade to the latest NAM and decided my plugin folder was way too messy, when deleting files I must have deleted something essential that was not being removed when reinstalling the game from Steam. Steam seems to keep plugins even after uninstalling the game for some reason so it didn't reinstall to vanilla at first. I wish I still had the Rush Hour CD-ROM...

Yep, I'm good now, just need to use more discretion when tidying up the landfill of a plugin folder I have in future...
-
Yeah the lots I did not seem to appear regardless of what stage they were (I was using this residential pack https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2822) and nothing was showing up, seems like I deleted something from my plugins folder when I was cleaning it up that caused this. I had to reinstall the plugins from my external HD to fix it again, so the lesson here is backup your work frequently...

I think I might be having the same issue as this original post, I saved my plugins and reinstalled the game but one of the custom lots I made was not appearing in game, even when using the Maxis blocker, in fact almost no lots at all were building from the plugins I restored. I used the Extra Cheats menu to find the lot was in the game files but it would not build at all. It also doesn't seem like Steam really uninstalls the game since I had to manually delete the custom files from the Steam plugin folder even after reinstalling. Is there a certain mod or plugin I missed reinstalling for custom lots? It's been ages since I have reinstalled everything so I don't know where to start, last time I did this was on Windows Vista...

Going to install air conditioning and kitchenettes now, as well as COLOR tv (also a bigger standalone neon sign prop)
-
Hope you enjoy your stay

Available now; more boring old buildings:

Version 1.0.0

An old brick industrial building that has been converted to a public storage facility in Portland, Oregon. A medium sized building designed to be wall to wall on a corner, it's not quite on a corner but next to train tracks in actuality. Doesn't have as many jobs as most buildings of this size considering it's just a public storage facility but as such it barely consumes much power or water to balance it off. The building was originally Portland Seed Company, formed in 1892, making this the oldest and largest building I've made so far. -

Working on bigger models...

Not sure what to call this one yet

This was an old hand car wash on Kingsway in Burnaby, just outside Vancouver, built in 1952 that went out of business not long ago. A 2x4 CS$$ lot with an exotic tropical theme to it, I lotted it to be a corner property and added the sign and fountain props (included in the download). As it is a car wash I gave it a higher water usage and turned down the flammability.

I can't believe I never noticed that before, nice and easy... I'm guessing timed props are a bit more complicated? -

Another wall to wall Boring Little Building™, a 2x2 CS$ lot based off a small Seattle business located in the international district. We don't seem to have many custom auto repair lots, and I wanted a wall to wall style garage for the grittier urban/industrial transitional areas. I don't know who made the model of the car I used in the garage, it's one I found online for free but if there was any issue with that I could rework it. I used a 'Free Spot' light for the interior night lighting and I'm a little conflicted on how it looks but more happy than not I guess, leave your feedback if you think it doesn't look satisfactory. Two optional dependencies: https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1180 https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/32980-sm2-mega-prop-pack-vol1/ -

So I tried to incorporate the sign to my lot into the building but it messes up the LODs, and it should probably be a prop anyway, so the question is; how did I make props? I can isolate the sign into a Gmax file, the part after that is where I have no idea... -
Bringing back another little business that went under not long ago, this old full service car wash, after all they offer ashtray service AND hubcap cleaning:
