THE Community Lot
cassblonde:
Now we need a THE community lot for Riverview - I bulldozed the big 40X40 house up on the hill and converted it to a comm lot. I suppose I could make my own ... I'd rather someone else do it, of course.
alaric:
If we could make mixed use lots with an appartment idea that would be even better. Older big cities and even places way in the past (like Rome) are (or were) built as residential over retail.
So a nice 6 residence apartment over a bistro - as a sample of what could be done - Basement level is a subway station (maybe one day there will be a mod for this too) and classified as a community lot, first floor is the bistro (also a community lot) and the upper floors are two apartments to a level with the apartments and the welcome mats being treated as residential while the hallways are treated as community.
Is it likely to be pulled off by Eaxis? Unfortunatly, its about as bloody likely as an ice cube staying frozen in a fire.

I. unawesome as I am, agree that all is possible. It is unlikely (if not impossible) that EA will help us achieve this goal. But I believe that Pescado can (and will) if people who are competent meshers, etc, will assist him in his efforts. However, even single use lots (i.e. residential apartments) would be a great stride forward in conquering EA's uneditable neighborhoods.

Yeah, I see what you mean. The Community Lot that has been done was for Sunset Valley only (if Riverview's largest available space is 40 X 40). Can you upload the individual components (e.g. the Bistro) to your Library (building only, without lot)? If so, it's only a matter of placing whatever fits. I only played Riverview once, during a test of AwesomeMod, where I had not backed up my Sunset Valley save game. Gives me something to look forward to, I suppose. Still think Pescado may be the only real hope where TS3 being able to hold ones interest for any length of time is involved. EA obviously does not care about what we really want from this game. They make the rules (and the unwanted EP's), and apparently they are correct in their assessments, since they still make MOAR money using this approach. It might be high time for a revolt. Perhaps we could insist that they hire Pescado at an extremely high salary if they want any of us to buy any more of their products (since he seems to be the only one who listens to what we, the consumers, want anyway). Alternatively, I plan to ARR all future EP's because I have no "moral contract" to a company that steadfastly refuses to supply what is necessary in the game, and insists that you play it "their way". BORING!

Someone at MTS has uploaded "unlocked" versions of community objects that you can place on residential lots. The objects aren't any different otherwise, though, so no building an apartment over them unless you put them in a basement or something.

I believe I saw something about this at MTS, but, as I recall, they were more "decorative" items, and not anything that could have an (real) impact on the goal objective.
