Title-
Actual Maxis Roads with my custom roads

Current Content:
4 Straight guttering pieces - By Maxis
4 Outside corner guttering pieces - By Maxis
4 Inside corner pieces - By me, modified from Maxis pieces above
6 Cross Walk pieces, both horizontal and vertical middle and end pieces - By Maxis

4 Real Maxis corner pieces.

2 Diagonal tiles, double sided for 4 diagonals in total. Remember to use a fence or wall to cut the tile in half.

4 Disabled tiles in all rotations.

4 Short arrows.
8 Curved arrows.
8 Stems for the curved arrows.

4 Diagonal Gaps (can also be used as an outside corner)

Many curve pieces. I do not know what exactly i have uploaded. All i know is that they have curves. Please report any problems, missed curves or duplicates.

EDIT 7:
Its later than i hoped to upload them but here are the curves, just in time for christmas. 60+ so there are alot of them. Some have grass (that took ages to recolour to look right), some have tarmac and others jave pavement (which also took a long time to recolour to look like the originals)

I am thinking about redoing it all to not be off-coloured, just need to fiddle with lightness/darkness and a few other things.

EDIT 6:
Sometime tomorrow, i will upload 2 or 3 RARs containing 1 tile and 3 tile curves inside and out. Its finally done. Just be warned that there are so many pieces in total, you may have difficulties finding every piece. The set will contain small and large inside and outside curves with pavement, grass and tarmac on the opposite side of the gutter to the road. I will maybe do some dashed lines and that will be it unless something is requested. No time to package them all now so tomorrow it will be!

EDIT 5:
I have been stupid and completely forgot that placing diagonals together meant having a gap between them. So here it is in the newest rar "Nomoregaps"
Those who want a zip are free to go download a free rar archiver.

EDIT 4:
Disabled tarmac tiles and arrows uploaded.

EDIT 3:
Curved corners are on their way aswell as disabled spaces. I have finished my arrows. I'm not to keen on them but will upload them anyway. Diagonal pieces are done. They were distorted to fit on half a square.

I am also not too happy about the fact that when making a floor tile, the edges seem to spill over to the opposite side. This is what makes the yellow and blue lines in the parking pack seem odd, aswell as part of the diagonal because you can see part of the gutter edge on the other side of the tile. This also means part of the curved arrows have this same problem. I am also not too happy about the fact that my edge tiles seem to have white lines around and seem a different colour next to the new tarmac off-coloured when viewed from far away.

I can't really fix these problems but its still better than nothing, don't you agree?

Arrows will be uploaded with the disabled tiles (will have own zip). Should be done by the end of the day. I am dissapointed with these arrows but i will refer you to the paragraph above.

Enjoy and check back for more updates!

EDIT 2:
There is now a new rar attached. This contains the real maxis inner corner guttering. It took me a while to find it but i now have it. Compare it to my version and tell me what looks better. Also, i have not been completely telling the truth. I only extracted 2 of the outside corners. It takes a while to actually get them so the other 2 of them were made by rotating the other corners. This means that the pieces aren't exactly the same pieces used on the maxis roads but look good enough because maxis did actually make them all. It is the same with the 4 new corners.

And i apologise for all the flooring being in a random order meaning that those who can rotate the floor tiles would have to download all version. They are all included for those who can't rotate floor tiles because they don't have the proper expansion.

Let me make that clear, the new "Real Corners" rar is optional if you want maxis inner corners. if not, you have my inner corners in the first rar.

Check back for my arrows set and dotted lines, aswell as possibly disabled parking and curved inner and outer corners. I may make this, I may not. I will see if i have time

EDIT:
Please now download the "Maxis Roads Extras" aswell as the normal one. Those who have already downloaded it should download the second file too. Because i am unable to fix the colour problems, this extra road piece is a new version of the original blank maxis tarmac but with the same colour as my new pieces. Sorry for any problems, i must have missed it out when packaging it. And please, if anybody sees that any of the inside corner pieces is:
"Terrific Tarmac" Asphalt (whatever piece) Gutter
and not
"Terrific Tarmac" Asphalt (whatever piece) Gutter V2
then please inform me, that would be my old version with an even more different tarmac colour.

Please see below picture for colour differences that i am unable to change:


I think the parking pack has a piece of tarmac similar to the new piece so you could use that instead, but it may look different.


Description-
This is my first upload so forgive me for any problems.

The original maxis tarmac texture with guttering extracted from the game and used to create the road pieces with guttering using HomeCrafter Plus.

Made for those who want to make a car park or even a road going up to a hotel or other exclusive place. Valets not included im afraid.

This set Includes:
4 Straight guttering pieces - By Maxis
4 Outside corner guttering pieces - By Maxis
4 Inside corner pieces - By me, modified from Maxis pieces above
6 Cross Walk pieces, both horizontal and vertical middle and end pieces - By Maxis

Other Details:
I do not know if there are any other real Maxis road pieces out there so i made this anyway. I took these from the actual roads ingame and modified some to create a larger variety of pieces. I am sorry that these pieces, although are the actual Maxis road pieces, are a slightly different colour to the in game roads. I believe that it is something to do with exporting them as a bmp with fireworks and some colour may be lost. Or maybe it is something to do with the way i extracted these textures from ingame or how HomeCrafter creates them ingame. I am sorry about this and if anybody wants to modify these to correct the colour then feel free.

I only have base game and will most likely keep it that way.

I would like to thank King13p, the creator of the Parking Pack 1 and 2
Pack 1
Pack 2
The disabled signs and no parking zones in this pack work well


This image above is made from extracting one road gutter and rotating and editing it with fireworks to create gutters on other sides of the tile and the corners. It is my old version with no cross walks and a bad quality picture. Download it to see how good it really is.

To me, it looks like a good parking spot like this.

Thank you and enjoy this upload. Feel free to do what you like with it, it was mostly not made by me but i am the one who made it available as a floor tile.
