LOL! I love the chalk outline! Now if only we could get our goddamn sims to park in the spaces. Then again, I'm just learning how to drive, and i know that parking on the side of the road is a helluva lot less infuriating (if not more dangerous. :P)

Hey! I have a quick question for you MogHughson. Is there a way for you to upload this again with the package file ending .zip? I don't have the program to extract the files ending in .RAR and i have had to miss out on a lot of things on MTS2. But I am VERY excited about this and would love to have this in my game. If you could do that would be sooooo amazing of you and I'm sure a lot of unfortunate simmers like myself would thank you for it! If you don't know how that's ok. BUT this looks sooooooo COOL!

You need to get yourself some custom content cars that have been updated to use my mod, two that I know of are linked in the related pages tab - or update some custom content cars yourself.

Would it be possible to make random cars show up in the neighborhood mode as well? I'm having fun making lots of little paring lots for my businesses, but when I go back to the neighborhood the parking lots look so bare.

Something I've noticed in my game since installing these parking spaces is that now every single one of my cars in buy mode (even Maxis ones) will display with the CC asterisk (*). Did you notice this?

Yes, this is caused by putting it in the Downloads folder. The same thing happens when you put one of my Buy Mod recat mods in the Download folder. I've recommended getting around that by placing my mod in some of the game file folders in the Program Files instead of Documents. This might also work for this mod but I haven't tried it yet.

The cars are only generated in the parking spaces when you go into live mode - this is why they don't show up in the neighborhood view. I don't know whether, without completely reworking the way I mad this mod, there would be a way of making them appear in neighborhood as well.

This is because I updated all the Maxis cars to show up in my car parking spaces. This means there is a change to an existing object and that grants the existing object the star to show it has been customised.

PPndprncss all you need to open .RAR files is win rar. Win rar also opens zip folders

Good job, but i sometimes i see that there are more cars than sims. can you make any other mod or else to fix this? It should be more realistic.

The number of Sims generated on a Community Lot is dependant on how powerful your computer is. I suggest you only place as many parking spaces as this number and then your car numbers will never exceed your Sim numbers.

Wait... does this also work on custom community lots?

I currently have all the EPs installed except Seasons; when I visit a custom lot, it still shows the empty parking spaces. In your post, it seems like this fix only works for the premade lots.

...and here I thought it worked *only* for custom lots...

[...which includes EDITED premades, of course...]

The only examples I see are the Pleasantview and other default 'hood ones.

I loaded my Wal-Mart (courtesy of Arch of The Future here on MTS2) and Mr. Summerdream stood amongst an empty parking lot.

The examples shown have been editted by me to place parking spaces there - you will have to do the same wherever you wish to have parking spaces. You can quite happily do this for premade lots or custom lots, just like you can for any other object - there is no restriction there. There is no way I could have started adding parking spaces to your lots myself - that would be very difficult, if not impossible. If you want parked cars generated in your Wal-Mart lot, download the parking space object and then follow the instructions here.

No - as noted in the thread - these are not cars belonging to your Sim - you cannot interact with these cars in any way. What you request is something I would love to produce as well - but it is not this mod.

This is a really great idea, perfect for movie making and generally adding realism to the game!

I just downloaded this, but cannot find it anywhere in my game. I have custom content enabled and all, so everything else shows up, but I can't find these parking spaces.

Thanks in advance.
