KOSC presents: Maxis Mansion Overhaul Introduction Ah, Maxis mansions. In the early days, it was one of the first signs of a flourishing city. If you had a few of these large plots sprout up in your neighborhoods it often meant that your city was growing well! However, the fact remains that throughout the years, improvement with custom content and detail in general have left the original Maxis lots in the dust. One of the biggest problems with the vanilla lots is they often contained vast amounts of well...nothing! There's some occasional shrubbery and a pool here and there, but for the most part, the lots are grossly under-detailed. Furthermore, the tendency for these larger lots to sprout up in the midst of your nice R$$ neighborhoods meant that your detail level takes a pretty significant hit! Pretty odd considering the richest of Sims could easily take advantage of the vast property spaces that they have. Taking inspiration @T Wrecks' fantastic Industrial Revolution Mod and more recently @Manuel-ito's Maxis Renewal, I present to you Maxis Mansion Overhaul: A full set of override lots that replaces all default Maxis mansion lots. This is also including some of their larger medium-density counterparts. Package Overview This set contains a grand total of 60 lots. These are all broken down according to the categories that Maxis determined: 18 "A Class", 18 "B Class", 18 "C Class", 3 "D Class" and 3 "E Class" mansions. These re-lots fundamentally change the original mansions in the following ways. better realism and detail: gated homes, larger driveways, and much more flora (fully seasonal). all lawns are not made equal: You may find patches of wildflowers, dirt, or even poorly watered grass in these lots. No one has time to maintain perfect grass in those corners! better slope support: many of the original lots had that ugly full lot foundation at certain slopes. These are more friendly overall but some discretion is still required as the tennis courts are model-based. the rich get richer: the largest lots boast private tennis courts (all kinds of angles), massive driveways, huge pools and gardens. asymmetric lot design: not every yard has to come in a square. Some lots are enclosed with angled hedges and have open space for a better blend between the lot and the wild. all kinds of pavement: gone are the days of every lot having bright and pearly tiling. Now you can have everything from dark brick to different colored stones. There are a few things to keep in mind when using this set. Read the following section carefully. There are two different packages included with this lot, the OVERRIDE version and the STANDALONE version. The standalone is for those who prefer to not disrupt lots in their developed cities. This is also suitable for people that use Maxis blockers and only want to see the mansions (and nothing else). The override set is recommended if you don't care about bulldozing acres of existing Maxis mansions or if you're starting a fresh region or city. If you're using other mods like CAM or Maxis blockers that modify the original mansion exemplars as well, make sure to load this override set last. Alternatively, you can look tweak those files with Reader. Make sure to find exemplars starting with instance ID: 30000710 and ending at 300008f1. Simply deleting those will remove any potential block on these lots. For those of you that downloaded my Maxis Mansion Facelift lot for the Facelift challenge, that lot is now obsolete. General Stats All lots boast the same dimensions, growth stage, and road orientation as their original counterparts. Install Instructions Drop the files in your My Documents/SimCity 4/Plugins folder. Dependencies Due to the larger amount of content here, the dependency list is a little heavier than usual. However, most of them should be pretty commonplace if you've downloaded any of my lots beforehand.

Before voting, we recommend you download and try out this item of content: [Download Here] Don't get depressed about Depiesse's Diner showing up repeatedly on a 1x1 CS$$ lot, just paste this re-lot in your plugins folder and instead of stark white over-franchised greasy burger joints, you'll get some foliage covered coolness to sip peacefully some aged clear substance in the shade sampling some fine sautéed shrimp and mushrooms. -

This lot shows up so much in low density commercial services and its so bright and plain, it needed to be re-worked into a hidden bistro, contributing some flora to industrial areas and relief from pollution and noise. A nice place to snuggle into for lunch. 1. Hidden Bistro, the initial growable replacement re-lot. The New Variety Pack of growables: 1. Drive-thru with Gas Bar, 2. 24Hr. Patio Service, 3. Car-Hop Service, 4. Take-out and Delivery Ploppable (Tourist Trap) Re-lot: 1. Deppiesse's Diner Roundabout 2x2 My initial solution to the repetitiveness and brightness of Maxis's CS$$ 1x1 Deppiesse's Diner lot was to smother it with large trees and refer to it as a 'hidden bistro'. The original Diner would still appear anyway, so I realized that SC4 would accept multiple replacements of the same lot and put the lots in a random pattern. I've made 4 more replacement lots with different props to make the repetetive pattern and brightness more scattered, keeping the building as a visual object. I still find the bistro useful for making a tree-lined boulevard that also provides jobs and commercial service, but it is unusual looking otherwise in a commercial area. The bistro is included in the new version zipfile. The variety pack lots are growables, so cannot be plopped from the menu, but they will show up fast in isolated 1x1 low-density commercial zones. Also included in this download is a ploppable 2x2 version of Deppiesse's Diner that can be accessed from the Rewards menu. I used the Tourist Trap reward to re-lot the diner and give it some glamour and multifunctionality, combining the commercial lot with the positive effect on business that may be used in a NAM avenue roundabout. All queries and stats are as the original Maxis Deppiesse's Diner. The 2x2 ploppable reward lot is slightly improved to have minimal pollution and moderate landmark effect as the Tourist Trap is low wealth. The zipfile contains 3 folders, select any or all to place in the user plugins folder. No dependencies, Maxis night-lighting. Deppiesse's Diner Commercial Service Medium Wealth 1x1, CS §§ Chicago tile set To use 'Lotplop' Download and follow the instructions on the page above. Otherwise zone 1x1 low density commercial and it will appear often.- 4 Comments

KOSC presents: Maxis Mansion Facelift Introduction This is a simple re-lot of the small Maxis mansions using a 4x6 lot size restriction. Package Overview The revamped Maxis small mansion boasts an exceedingly large amount of front driveway, including a fountain roundabout to show your neighbor that indeed, your place is cooler than theirs! The backyard contains ample patio and lawn space, a private tennis court as well as a pond with a gazebo. Thick clumps of trees also provide plenty of shade space during those hot summer months. Included in the following package is a single growable 4x6. This lot uses the Maxis "16x20" mansions as the building family so you may grow any one of the different color/tileset variations. To plop the lot with ExtraCheats.dll, use "lotPlop" and look for "R$$$1_4x6_Mansion_Facelift" as the beginning of the exemplar name. 9/27/16: This single lot version is now obsoleted. Go here for the full set. Install Instructions Drop the file in your My Documents/SimCity 4/Plugins folder. Dependencies Texture/Prop Resources SHK Parking Pack SuperSHK MEGA Parking Textures BSC Textures Vol. 1 BSC MEGA Props SG Vol. 1 BSC MEGA Props CP Vol. 1 BSC MEGA Props CP Vol. 2 As with before, if you've downloaded any of my previous lots, you should have most if not all of the required texture/prop dependencies.
