I agree with keyqueen: The current logic on your garage door mod looks fine for my purposes, so I would have absolutely no *issues* with it being released as-is.

(Just in case you were taking a poll!)

Yes, I guess that I was taking a poll. I'll finish off the testing and get the modded doors into the queue. Then, if I can find ways to improve things, I'll just update the existing mods.

This is really awesome! Can't wait for the garage doors. For years, I have been wanting to build houses with a pair of garages facing each other, or other odd garage configurations. Thanks so much!

Hey! funny..i was actually thinking about how I would fix MY parking issue, in the bus going to work..lol
I was more thinking about how i could mirror them but, this is awesome.
Do you think it would also be possible to make? As of now, cars can only come back from right end of lots, and go by left end..building apartment lots..would be useful if we could put 2 driveways side by side, each going their ways.

Je mange des girafes et je parle aussi français !...surtout :0)

This is the same thing I've thought. I think it's possible to do it changing the direction of the tiles of the Driveway in SimPe, but surely there would be problems with the car animations.
Since with the Portal Revealer by Inge Jones it's possible to simulate a one-way road, because you can change the directions in which the service cars and your cars go and come from your lot, there should also be the possibility to reflect horizontally the direction of the driveway.

Fantastic work!! Will most likely find a use for this. I always build lots and discover that I wanted to include a sideways garage which most of the time rotates in the wrong direction lol. Finally a solution
Bit disappointed the angled cars don't work but I wouldn't even imagine that ever being possible. Many thanks for your efforts!!!!!

Awesome, I hope this is compatible with MogHughson's "Park in the Car Park mod... that would make it a Sim architect's dream!!!

I'm sorry, I don't know whether it's compatible. If not, I'm sure that we can fix MogHughson's mod. I'd be happy to explain what needs to be done. It's a surprisingly simple fix (now that we know how, that is ).

I knew it would come about eventually...the mod to make me return to playing The Sims 2. I just never imagined it was this mod. What can't you do, o great goddess of the mod?

You said to use only ONE main driveway and ONE extension; but I have to ask (wanting to make a circular driveway), what will HAPPEN if I place two main driveways (ones that connect to the road vertically), and connect them with an extension going horizontally?

You misunderstand. There is no such restriction.

Mootilda - I can verify that these won't work with Mog's mod. Neither the driveway or extension would work for me until I took it out of my game. Actually I took that and and the decorative parking spots out, so it could be either or both of them that won't work with this. (Although I'm betting it's just the Park in the Car Park mod that conflicts.)

Also, you say "Diagonally placed vehicles will not work in-game. Your sim will just stand there forever looking at the car or worse. Therefore, diagonal driveways should be considered to be decorative only". That is true. In my game my sim did just stand there and I couldn't get the action to drop from the queue. The only way I could get it to drop from the queue was to go into buy mode and rotate the diagonal back to the normal way or sideways. When I went back to live mode I could cancel the action and my sim could move again.

Still an awesome download though. Thank you for making it so easy to make sideways garages.

I'll take a look at Mog's mod and see whether there is an obvious conflict.

OH My GOSH, I have so been needing something like this for years....I mean I have tried the old remove the tile on the sidewalk etc or maybe by-chance removing something that yielded the desired result, BUT low and behold here is the answer. Thanks, a load for sharing this with us, now my Simmies will be so happy to have various lots with the appropriate garages.
