List of BSC Compliant Parks

Can you give an example? I tested some of the links, and they all functioned correctly.

However, the "List of Parks" link is still a placeholder, from when that list is actually posted.

They all function correctly, but they all link to files that aren't the ones described (but are all somewhere else on the list). For example, the link to the base set actually links to Ripptide parks, the link to the MAAM parks actually links to the texture set, and the link to the sunken plazas actually leads to the Simgoober bridges.

Darn, you're right. Something must've gone wrong when I let Excel order the entries alphabetically. It seems not to have moved the links with it.

EDIT: Fixed the list, I'm glad the list wasn't that big, and it was easy to find the correct links.

Hopefully it is a good place for such question

...

Maybe my search abilities are weak, but... Is there a pack with modular diagonal paths for BSC Parks or it's still for self-making with LE?

As far as I know, such pack does not exist at the moment; so yes, you'll have to do it yourself, in the LE

I know this is sort of an old question... but to my knowledge, Caspervg is right. The most likely reason there is no set of diagonal paths is due to the way the textures are set up:

As you can see, the diagonal paths require little corner pieces between them. While it may not seem like a big deal in this example, consider the endless combinations with other paths where that little corner "chad" could be needed. A "complete" set would require many 1x1 lots to cover all those possibilities, intersections, etc. I considered making some for Clayhurst University until I realized it would probably triple the number of lots. Many of the textures do exist, but it's much more practical to make what you want with larger lots than with individual 1x1's.

I don't agree with that:

SG released a second group of diagonal overlays that were offset and cut across 1/4 of the lot instead of the entire lot. It is still possible to achieve a diagonal look without requiring lots of extra pieces.

This is the only pic I have... unfortunately I lost the set I had created (along with the region that it showcased), but in the upper right of this picture, you can see the wide BSC-compliant path with two openings (left and right), and my diagonal lot. I just rotated the lots 180 degrees and continued to plop diagonally. The path intersection occurred about halfway up the left side of the lot and traveled up and to the right, ending in the middle of the top. Yes, you do end up with more grass (i.e. it's a bit lopsided if you only plop one), but it really does work well.

... But, to answer the question...

No. But it would not be difficult to create.

That system is applied with SFBT Park sets. Works really fine.

Sure it wouldn't

. But - as it is a board called "where can I find..." I would notice, that we are going a bit off-topic.

Anyway, thanks for the answers
