I think this is great! It'll make the desert neighborhoods look better, IMO. Thanks!

Very nice! I would love to see roads that are asphalt but without the lines down the middle. Country highways rather than those city roads..without sidewalks.

Awesome! Can anyone confirm these work with the base game? (I'm going to try them out anyway, they're exactly what I need. Thanks!)

Nice creation! They'll make my desert neighbourhoods so much more realistic.

This is awesome! Do you just put it in your downloads folder like anything else?

It should already work with only the base game installed.

Yes, put it simply into your downloads folder. You don't have to do anything else.

GREAT! Now my home neighborhood will look more my REAL home neighborhood. Some of us live "way back over yonder" you know.

I second that request about country highway roads without center lines.

Could somebody do this with grass themes and snow themes please?

Very nicely done. Do you think these mods will be a problem when ep5-'Seasons' comes out (end of this month) as this will change the appearence of the neigbourhood & lots? Any way thanks & downloading.

I guess, they will use overlay-txtures and these shouldn't be any problem for my mod. But I can't tell, till Seasons is out.

I just tried it with Seasons, and it seems to be working fine, though I did try it during summer, the dry months.
Thanks so much for this! Looks great!

that's really cool. that's just the way roads in the desert have to look! thank you!
may I suggest some improvement? Just omit the sidewalk, that would make it look even better I think.

Great job! Although, I would love to see both the desert & lush mods without sidewalks!

I don't think so, though I havn't tested it on my own. Maybe anyone using apartment live can comment on this?

I have Apartment Life and this is working,just cover the asphalt road with Desertdustroad and use moveobjects,the problem is when a family move to the apartment the road will back to asphalt.

Like Mortimer above me, my roads reverted too.

The game actually crashed upon moving the first family in to my brand new mobile homes apartment lot and when I revisited the lot the family was there just fine and then I noticed that the roads had reverted. I come to the conclusion that the game hiccuped on the desert roads whilst moving the family in. The move-in video where the taxi drops them off just stopped dead in it's tracks so-to-speak.

Has anyone else had this problem?

This is GREAT!

Strangetown is supposed to be a small desert community-- They have old GOVERNMENT FACILITY BUILDINGS for COMMUNITY LOTS, for goodness sake-- why do they have neat, tidy, asphalt roads?
