More Awesome Than You!

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.

Have it testet with OFB. Street Parking spaces visible Cars could be put on them.  :)

Thanks.

For anyone interested, I made templates - various lot sizes with street parking on it.

Thank you so much Simmie Cal!

Thank you very much !
The 2x3 lot with 2 street parkings contains some recolors. The others are clean.
Pioupiou

This is really awesome, thank you!
You made my sims very happy!

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

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.

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 :)

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.

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
