I may have missed out some of the pieces when packaging it all. Alert me if there are any problems or missing pieces. I may create a diagonal version if it is requested. I will also try to fix the colour issues if possible. The only other problem that i know of is that the current dotted line tarmac pieces are a different colour. I may make a new version where it is all this off colour and you may have to completely remake the road. But i think this guttering works well in the middle of the road well too. Theres also some arrows out there that i have been using, i may make some with the colour of the dotted road lines and cross walk.

Glad you all like it. I may have to find a curved version in game or make my own one. (not sure how it will work, but it will eventually)



EDIT:

half way done on diagonal pieces. Slight problem with them being distorted to fit on half a 64 x 64 or 128 x 128 square. Made some arrows. Going to do the disabled signs. Curved corners will be hard

Good job! When I lost some of this by accident while building I tried to make them myself. But they were much to bright, yours are way better!

Getting started on curved piece. I will be making it from scratch because the curves i extracted on the road corners (not on lot) are way too big and the colours on them aren't right anyway because only the colours on the road pieces on lots are right. Any other ideas for road pieces? I have tried making absolute center dashes but i may ave to make them off center like maxis did.

Your work is very much appreciated.
I have many ideas for University lots.
I would also love your curved piece…
Love the thought of making roundabout or even
half-round drive ways. Thank you.

The curved piece isn't going to well, it means making one with pavement, grass and tarmac on the other side of the curve. I took the pavement tile and when putting it on the curved piece, it goes a very light colour. Also, i can't get the grass to look quite right. I have also notice that placing several diagonals in a line means a gap between them. I am starting on this now. Another zip coming! Maybe ill upload a blank lot with all the pieces in it. Would save downloading and installing all them sims2pack files.

EDIT:
Curved tile with pavement, grass and tarmac is practically done. Thinking about doing an outside curved tile, currently it is inside curve, 2 x 2 tile.

Wow, totally forgot about the curves. The truth is that they aren't very good but i have decided that i will upload them soon. Please, i want to see buildings with these roads used uploaded here and me credited. I would just like to see how things turn out. They went well with my McDonalds that will soon be demolished for the "Super Healthy Supermarket".

CURVES UPLOADED!

thanks i was fixing a house I downloaded and realized that there wasn't the gutter tile for the road only the middle kind since the person who created it had a lot of bumps and stuff in the road.

Uh I downloaded them and I looked at this one lot to fix the house, and the tiles don't show up

Maybe if they don't show up it is a corrupted download or something, they should show up. They are in misc. Try downloading them again?

Thankyouthankyouthankyou.

I'll probably use this a lot!

I'm just another one of those simulated Sims.

I love this idea to death, but is there any chance you could upload just the floor files themselves, if you're still about? I mean, if my math is right, that's 117 sims2packs that have to be installed individually, and that's kind of insane. :/

Great work man, but you should post/have posted this in one file.
Again, great work
