Thanks noone, its people like you and qurlix and everyone else that improve this game that keep it alive. You guys should draw a paycheck from MAXIS for extending the life of a game that would have gone under a long time ago without this site!

Great work qurlix! Crappy paths or not, it's still nice to see that this can work! It's too bad about the trees though, does anyone know if theres a mod that could allow trees on ground level transit or is there no bypass to that problem. i could just imagine the amount of conflicts a mod like that could cause with the NAM! Perhaps offset prop lots could dress it up, but having lots just for that would probably be more of a pain than a solution. i myself have no modding knowledge so I can't think of any good answers. I wish there was more I could do to help, but i'm just glad to see that there are people who can make sense of all that coding.

That looks amazing nooneatall! Absolutely beautiful The only things I could suggest (not that its needed) is a small strip of sidewalk along the small arc at the intersection agaist the main street corner, but even as is this is great. Teirusu is probably right about the conflicts though, but i'm wondering if it would be possible to plop trees on the 2x2 version as it is? I dont know of any network pieces that would allow it, but I dont make it a habit of planting trees in the middle of the roads If prop groups could be added as you mentioned, would they vary as you build or would they be selectable as some of the seawall styles are on the STEX? What im gettin at is .....will there have to be a folder for the specific style you would have to put in your downloads folder out of a group of options, or would the mod make it so that when you build the corner, the prop set would change up for each corner you build? Confused yet? lol! I am If you could add the option, is it possible to have it work as a puzzle piece does in the NAM? By selecting the piece then pressing the TAB key to change styles? I know this all sounds like a bit much and I'm getting way too ahead so I guess I should be happy to see things moving along as they are! Thanks guys for all the hard work

Wow nooneatall....for a bad texture that looks amazing! As Vester_dk mentioned, could the center allow a ploppable 1x1 park or is that possible? As far as I've heard, BAT's and props cant be included with the texture can they? If not, then a small ploppable to fill the space would be ideal! BTW, has anyone seen any diagonal facing statues? All the statues I've seen only face N,S,E,or W. I cant stand puting a statue on a corner and having it face to the side of the intersection !

Hmmm.... very interesting! Thank you Vester_DK. I got to make sure to check out that thread! Edit: I noticed all of the pics in your post are of road ploppables.....do you think streets can conform to the same idea or just roads alone?? After all..if streets were that easy to work with, we would have had diagonal streets a long time ago!

Thanks for the replies everyone and thank you Aran for the research! It's nice to know that there may be a possibility for some of my ideas to come to a working reality. As I mentioned before, I was tinkering with the idea of divided suburan roads with large tree lined medians. As you can see in the pic I've scanned of my doodlings....I began to sketch out puzzle pieces for all the possible intersections and curves to acheive a suitable range of possible combinations. After my eyes turned red and smoke started pouring from my ears....the gears in my measly brain came to a halt! I've come to the conclusion that there are tons of possible peices needed to make this work well. The curves and T's,Y's (and all the other letters of the alphabet!....)as well as the mirrored peices could take a lot of time to work out as I'm sure theres more than just the ones I've sketched. I don't even know what to name them all!? Then theres the modding and everything else! But while I'm dreamin'.......I might as well dream all the way LOL! Even if none of these ideas come about, perhaps they will be considered for SC5.
