The RCI Boardwalks is a collection of 3 lots that allow you to zone RES, COM, or even IND right up to the edge of the coast... and still have OWW2 Boardwalks running along the shoreline. Now you can turn your favorite hi-rise condos, commercial development or any growable or ploppable lot into seaside lots that share a common boardwalk with the entire CDK OWW2 collection. The RCI Boardwalks are actually water lots that are designed to extend in & over the sloped coastal tile & merge seamlessly with OWW2 lots on either side. * The coastal tile is that tile that slopes into the water... and is a tile that is actually half-water & half-land. As such, nothing can be plopped exclusively on the coastal tile & it defies normal zoning and plopping methods. Normal CDK/OWW lots cover that coastal tile by extending boardwalk or dock models from the land side. The RCI Boardwalks reverse that process by extending off-set rendered models from the water side... with a mix of transparent texturing & game default behavior for certain types of water lots. This particular method does not allow the use of any props on the lot. Therefore, everything on the lot is rendered as part of the building model. The models are nite-lited... with lighting designed to match the lamp post & lite-tree props commonly used on OWW2 lots. This package contains 3 lots. Included are a standard 1x tile-wide boardwalk section, a 2x tile-wide extended Observation Deck section... and 2x tile-wide Dock Entrance section that is designed for use with the PEG Marina Extended Docks lots. Additional RCI Boardwalk lots may be added to the collection. * All of these lots contain properties similar to a small park in order to promote the type of high-wealth development normally found along coastal areas. * These lots have been tested to be free from any water-graphics bug effects. For help creating the perfect terrain for CDK lots,we strongly recommend reading The Official CDK Tutorial. ** This lot requires the PEG-OWW2 Resource Pack 1 All Pegasus files are now legacy content and are no longer officially supported - however support from the wider community can be requested here. -

The OWW2 BDK (Beach Development Kit) is designed for use with the OWW2 Boardwalks. It allows you to add recreational beaches of your design anywhere along the coast and blend them into the OWW2 Boardwalks. NOTE: NO WATER GRAPHICS BUG ISSUES !! ** These lots use transparent texturing to circumvent the Water Graphics bug that plagued the game-default beach lot and many other custom beach lots. The lots are modular and designed to fit together in any sequence you choose. You can build small & cozy beach areas that are nestled into your boardwalks... or extend long stretches of developed beach along vast areas of your coastline. Each lot in the kit contains a ga-zillion (more or less) customized random props to ensure that long stretches of beach will not appear repetitive. There are 6 lots in this kit with more to be developed and released later. The lots are 3 tiles deep and range between 1 and 5 tiles wide. The properties of each lot have been adjusted so that any combination of lots that is 5 tiles wide will approximate the properties of a game default beach park. The lots included in this kit are: 1. 1x Beach Section. 2. 1x Beach Entrance w/ transit enabled driveway. 3. 3x Beach Section w/ central transit enabled driveway. 4. 1x Left-side Transition to OWW2 boardwalks 5. 1x Right-side Transition to OWW2 boardwalks. 6. 5x "Instant Beach" w/ 3x beach area and transitions on both sides. The lots collectively use a new tri-level random stat feature which provides different beach-related stats with each query.. Not only does the stat value change with each query, but the stat itself changes. Most of the stats pertain to conditions at the beach, such as water temp, wave height, etc. Some are just funny stats about common beach activities. One stat, the Air Quality Index (AQI), is calculated from the city's current air pollution value and computed into an equivalent real-world AQI value commonly used by weather bureaus. * Like the game default and other beach lots, the lots in this kit will likely require terrain editing to look the way you want it. As it uses transparent textures, the underlying terrain shows through and your beach sand texture will be that of the actual terrain. Certain terrain mods may provide an undesirable sand color. Please consult the Developer's Notes section of the accompanying readme file for further details on editing the terrain for this lot. Be sure to check out RebaLynnTS's OWW2 BDK Terrain Editing Tutorial ** This lot requires the following dependencies PEG-CDKM Marina PEG-OWW2 Resource Pack 1 All Pegasus files are now legacy content and are no longer officially supported - however support from the wider community can be requested here. -CB Edit: Added a patch to the file which prevents a potential game glitch. While it is not certain a fix was needed, the files have been updated as a precautionary measure. -Later Cori Edit: Made the deps clickable linkys. -

These are my first BAT created lots. Your Sims will love walking along the beach on these boardwalk lots. I made these because I wanted more realistic boardwalks for my game. If you have any problems with them, just send me a private message or post it as a comment. Part of my GreatOutDoors (GOD) Series.
