Title: OFB Test: Lot templates with street parking Post by: simmiecal on 2006 March 08, 01:17:56 OK -
This is just a blank lot with two street parking spaces. Would someone try this lot out in an OFB game? If the street parking shows up in OFB, then I am going to make templates for each lot size with street parking.

For anyone interested, I made templates - various lot sizes with street parking on it. http://simpotence.com/dnld/lots/Lot-parking-templates.rar Title: Re: OFB Test: Lot templates with street parking Post by: JadeEliott on 2006 March 08, 16:58:26 Thank you so much Simmie Cal!

The 2x3 lot with 2 street parkings contains some recolors. The others are clean. Pioupiou Title: Re: OFB Test: Lot templates with street parking Post by: FroggySim on 2006 March 12, 13:25:30 This is really awesome, thank you!
You made my sims very happy! Title: Re: OFB Test: Lot templates with street parking Post by: anelca on 2006 March 14, 14:32:15 thanks...this makes it easier for maximising the space on lots without having to think about where to put the driveway ;D
and not have to do it manually Title: Re: OFB Test: Lot templates with street parking Post by: simmiecal on 2006 March 24, 05:11:28 Added links to original post.

Title: Re: OFB Test: Lot templates with street parking Post by: simmiecal on 2006 March 25, 00:27:15 can we do this if we have OFB? If you have OFB, you cannot follow JadeEliott's tutorial to make these lots in game but these lot templates (which I made prior to installing OFB) will work in OFB. (That's why I made them. ;) ) Unfortunately, you can no longer add street parking to existing lots, but if you were going to build a new lot and wanted street parking, instead of putting down a Maxis blank template, put one of these down. Title: Re: OFB Test: Lot templates with street parking Post by: Sagana on 2006 March 28, 00:03:54 Thanks so much for these. It just never ocurred to me Maxis would remove this basic functionality. I haven't checked into it yet (too busy playing) but I imagine this also "fixes" it so I can't build lots with overpasses, or my boardwalk that's supposed to go down a whole series of lots along the ocean's edge or a whole variety of things of this nature :( Oh well, thanks to you I can still have some street parking :)
Title: Re: OFB Test: Lot templates with street parking Post by: Ruann on 2006 March 28, 02:37:57 I wouldn't really call it "basic" functionality. It involves modifying some game files, activating cheat codes, and doing things that can completely break a lot if you screw up. That said, it does look like it wasn't intentional. They just made the squares next to the streets un-changeable. Probably in an effort to curb accidental portal deletion.
Title: Re: OFB Test: Lot templates with street parking Post by: Sagana on 2006 March 28, 03:37:21 As there are cheat codes specifically for placing things outside the normal limits, I'd call it basic functionality. They took into account that builders would want to and originally had it set-up (not as well as I'da liked, but still available what looked to be on purpose) and then removed it. Without even the excuse that some idjit was gonna sue them for providing porn :p
Oh and most of what I did with the cheat didn't require modifying game files at all. Just using the building cheats included with the game. Heck, move objects and rotate 45 degrees require cheat codes and I consider those pretty basic. :p Oh and PS: Just playing the game straight out of the box can completely break it. Pretty easily even. :p |
