Power Lines within zones

[bob56]

I dont know if this is where you put these requests, but i find it really annoying how draggable power lines just stop when they reach a zone. Is there any way to mod roads so when you drag them, there is a powerline on the side? That way it would be much more realistic and wouldn't take up any extra space.

I assume you're talking about power lines that appear alongside roads in much the same manner as streetlights, fire hydrants, and other props.  There was a short discussion [linkie] about this topic a while back, although there haven't been any comments on it recently.  Not only would the poles themselves need to be BATted, but someone would have to create T21 exemplars to make them appear alongside the roads.  In the meantime, Interstate80 has put together a mod [linkie] that includes new streetlights and wooden poles that appear in zoned areas, including poles that run alongside roads in agricultural areas.  That's the closest thing I can think of to what you are describing.

how about just poles. From a distance it would be much more visually appealling.

As far as I know, there's nothing like that available, bob56.  Now, there are ploppable power lines and even a replacement for the default Maxis poles available, but no mod like the one you are describing has been made.

David just released his flora-based ploppable telephone poles last night in the 3 rivers region thread, and though they don't seem to be exactly what you're looking for, you can give them a shot.
