XXL is up and running great. This is an ABSOLUTELY crucial mod to anyone who gives a wee bit about how their cities look...... we know where my question is going. LOL Not pushing for quickness, just wanna know if an XXL version is in the works or whatnot?

 

I really hope my question wasn't in the update tab. FINGERS CROSSED*

 

I didn't know how to make a comment on this forum, so I am just doing so on this quote. I really do like this mod, it is amazing to watch how many cars utilize the parking spaces.

I am new to this game, I waited several years for it to come down in price and I am glad that I did. I think the mods for this game are very well thought out for the purposes they are intended for. Now there just needs to be a large parking lot.

I like the idea that these small ones can be set in locations that one wouldn't think about, I managed to have them in a few yards of houses. Oh, and the fact that you included handicapped spaces, and no car will park there, lol. That is ingenious.

Now you need to make a meter so that we can collect revenue from parking spots. Again, kudos for such a thoughtful mod.

 

Welcome Kara, if you search mods directory both on xl and xxl mods, you will find some large ones as well. Even if they are just in the xl mods they will work with xxl.

 

I found them last night, thank you for the advice though.

Sometimes the small parking lots suffice when there is limited space. But I love how the game uses all the parking spaces. I also downloaded the street mod with side parking, which makes so much sense as we have that in real life in neighborhoods. Now my new game is slow growing in population which gives me time to plan zones instead of just frantically plopping them down anywhere.

I also discovered that farms can be built across avenues. That was an awesome discovery because I was able to have open road and transportation without needing so many side roads.

By the way, is there a mod that reduces traffic lights at intersections with side roads? That isn't normal in real life. I grew up in farm country in rural Ohio and agricultural roads never have traffic lights. The game treats every intersection as needing traffic lights when it is not really necessary.

 

There is a mod called Trolcas Roads which adds roads without traffic lights. Not sure if there's some other options available, but i think Drazic USA roads also adds some without traffic lights (not sure though).

 

You have made my day with this information. Thank you for telling me about them.

 

I agree, the street lights should be for urban only. I am looking for these mods now. It seems the one is only for XXL.

 

I think that is my problem, I downloaded the XXL mod version thinking it was XL.

One tab in game for roads is greyed out but the others work just fine. Overall, I like XL Nation better than Simtropolis, at least here the modders show where something is located. I don't know how to make mods, but I sure appreciate those who can.

 

maybe here: Transportation - Bare Streets

 

I managed to get it unlocked by the "cheat" function of unlocking all buildings in expert mode. I am trying to figure out how to make the connections connect to the highways.

Thank you for those other links to mods.

 

What do you mean? Are you talking about the connections between roads and the end of the map?
Highways will work just as normal roads...
A little tip: if you pause the game you can set as many connections as you like before destroying the purple radius to build connections.
