64 x Furnitures - XXL - by Ieyasu and by Karaaib 1.3

Drazicdesign,
I don't mod, I trust others to do that. I just am not happy that you started a trend to junk up the important Civic Services Environment screen with your trains mod and now two new mods have come out doing likewise.

Plus these items show up before the standard environment ones which means a lot of wasted clicks before I get to chose among the items I want. The train mod placement meant two wasted clicks every time I wanted to build the Alternative Park mod, which I did often. I deleted your train props from my latest saves, plus the mod, so will just use secpol's from now on. A better place for your train mod would have been under the Transportation/Bus button.

What I do like is your Furniture Mega Pack by timofp. If I remember correctly you had one menu item that had many upgrades. That made menu presentation so much easier as there were less items to look at or click through. It didn't look like you did that as I built a few items and didn't see any upgrade options.

I've enjoyed your work until this mod where I saw nothing but a menu mess where I would want to see my environment service buildings. I hope you'll take the constructive criticism in an adult manner like fayedd and axel have done. They've made corrections and I changed ratings from 1 star to 5 on axel's citypack 2 mod as he worked with me to fix the problem I talked about. I hope fayedd removes his reply to my 4-star rating so I can rate it up to 5 once he fixes the tax income problem I noted.

 

Drazicdesign,
Sorry if I was a bit tough on my rating and demand. I hope you'll take into account from now on menu presentation. I loved your Animation Ploppable mod because there were 28 upgrade versions in one menu item. Plus it was located out of the way in the Packs/Beach/Buildings/Custom section. I'd think the Packs section in the Custom parts of the Beach or Snow areas would be excellent places to put mods with many items.

I also liked your first furniture pack where one menu item had many upgrade versions, that cut down on menu clutter. I don't mind building an item and running a little clock to activate the upgrade options.

I also hope that by naming the items properly you can get them to show up after standard section items, like the standard environmental items or the very useful Alternative Park

If you'll delete your reply to my bad rating I'll delete my rating since I no longer use this mod. I wanted to make sure I caught your attention, a 4-star rating wouldn't have done that. I love your work and have many of your mods but I can't use this one or the train one because of where they are in the menu and how they block menu items I use frequently.

 

Drazicdesign,
I ended up taking the plunge again and used your mod in my latest Flachlandstadt city. Here's my latest video where I do show off your work. I also showed the menu location so you can see that along with an XL environmental mod items the environment section is pretty crowded. I was impressed that this mod changed some of the old light posts along roads automatically, pretty cool as I showed it in my video. I wanted to update my rating to give this 5 stars but can't because you replied to my original rating and I can't do another. If you were to delete your reply I could delete my original rating so I could rerate as a 5.

 

Drazicdesign,
Totally Awesome! Now if you'd delete your reply to my bad rating on the overview page I can delete my old bad rating and give this 5 stars. Thanks much for moving the location of these items. I did see that they were originally placed in Environment section by original authors.

 

Maybe it will help to start a thread to discuss which buttons are needed. But only the few most needed ones. Maybe Altiris will have mercy and update the Community Mod or give us instructions on how to do it.

 

skullz613,
That would be awesome! I currently have the excellent XL Civic Services mod installed along with the dependency Crime and Leisure mod as well as the dependency Health Enhancement mod. They work somewhat but there are some buildings or features that don't because the CM lacks some of the UIM features. It sure would be cool to see these mods all working properly in XXL. Having the missing Entertainment section button in XXL would allow us to have even more buildings available to us from XL.

I think the biggest mistake FHI made with XXL was to create a totally new UI thus abandoning all of the excellent mod work done that the UIM brought us. It would be so wonderful to have all of the UIM features working in XXL. If you work on it I'll be happy to beta test it for you. Ask Monty I do good beta test work.

 

I don't have any of these
