Hi, I was wondering if you could help me? Once upon a time you had a neighbourhood where you used criquette's rural lanes in combination with invisible roads. I was trying to do the same in my game, but the lanes turn invisible when placed on where the roads are. Would you have any idea what may cause that?
Hi there! :D Wow, it's amazing how much you forget when you haven't played a game in about two years...
Anyway, IF I'm remembering right, in order to have the rural lanes show in lot view, you still have to remove the road entirely on each lot even when using invisible roads. I donāt even know why because they have transparent textures, but...whatever. Ya gotta remove the roads. Because reasons, I guess. So, use the Lot Adjuster to remove the road where the rural lane is, then load up the lot. If Iām remembering right, when you load it up again, youāll have the standard āroadā floor tiles there, which you have to turn on moveobjects and remove. THEN you should be able to see the rural lane.
...I think...If Iām remembering right. :) I do remember it being a pain in the ass because I had to keep going in and out of the game to use the Lot Adjuster, anyway...
Also: Sorry, I wanted to answer this one privately, but I saved it as a draft to do some research and apparently saving a PM reply as a draft removes the ability to send the answer privately. :P
Sorry, I wasnāt clear in my ask. Iām having trouble with the lanes not showing in neighbourhood view.
I have a situation like in the picture where the lanes just disappear where the actual roads are. Iāve checked the package files but thereās nothing wrong there and I can place every single other hood deco on roads.
Ohhhh, neighborhood view! Yeah, for that you have to turn off displaying roads. Itās because the neighborhood view textures arenāt transparent; they just have textures that match the terrain textures. (If you make them transparent, then you just get holes in the terrain in neighborhood view.) So, the lanes will be covered in neighborhood view.Ā
Thereās a cheat to turn off road display. Itās something like displayneighborhoodroads on/off. Unfortunately, it doesnātĀ āstick.ā You have to enter the cheat every time you go out to neighborhood view.
Ah. I don't usually do much hood decorating, so I completely forgot that there are cheats there. Thanks, I'll try it out next time I'm playing.
