This is a poll for how the what the sidewalk texture for the BSC Park Paths will show in the draggable SAM with pedestrian paths.

The Park Paths will use the existing textures in the BSC release.  Now, there are a few options I can go with while I transfer some of these textures into Transit Textures.  Here they are and I will explain what they can do:

1.  Standard Transit Sidewalks

With this option the standard sidewalk textures from Maxis will show through.  And it will depend on the wealth of adjacent lots.  Now, there have been mods created that change the sidewalk textures, these mods will be compatible with this option.  Meaning if you have Jeronij's Street Side Mod installed his textures will be used for the sidewalks for these paths.  I myself prefer this option.  As people in the future can make other Sidewalk mods and these paths will be compatible.

2. Original BSC Park Path color (Red bricks)

With this option you will get the original textures created by the BSC Team (SimGoober possibly).  They are those red brick textures.  These textures are not replaceable.  They will not change with wealth and they will always be the same.  People in the future may remake the textures and make them have the same IIDs to overwrite the ones I will have in the mod.  This is my least favorite option.

3. BSC Park Paths V2

With this option, there are multiple sidewalk base textures.  And they change based on whichever base texture you have installed (created by Deadwoods, I believe).  Now, I can make something to this effect.  But you wont have the choice of which ones go where.  I will make 1 sidewalk base texture per wealth giving 4 different sidewalk textures for the 4 different wealths.  These will not interfere with your sidewalks for the rest of the streets and will be dependant on wealth level.  My second favorite option is this one.


Now it is upto you guys.  Tell me which option you want, I will not be accepting any other options.

POLL CLOSES - Friday, July 20, 2007.  @2:30 PM EST

I have to say that I think the first option is the best, as it allows the people who have chosen to supress or replace the origional sidewalks to keep a uniform look througout the city, whilst keeping the same look for all of the users who haven't chosen any of those mods, so in a way everyone is a winner.

I've gone with option 1 too, as it's probably the most flexible and will enable people to keep their streetside mods.

arrrr ye matey i say ayeee like the other scalleywags who arrr in favrrr!!!  :thumbsup:

option 1 is my first choice also. I think it will offer the best choice to all.  :thumbsup:

number 1 suits me, i use the asphalt texture mod. :thumbsup:

I'd prefer the first option as well.... for unity in the city!

Thank you everyone for putting your votes in.  I hope they keep coming in!  At the moment votes are:

Option 1:   29
Option 2:   1
Option 3:   3

The poll closes in 6 days.  I am glad I am getting a good response.  The option chosen by everyone here will be the way the Parks will be designed for draggable transit.

You opinions about this are wanted, so when you vote please leave a comment.   Thanks!

I'm with the "entourage" on this one...!!

I also vote for the first option!
