NetworkMAT: Street Planters 001

Published: 3-08-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY The Network Materials (NetworkMAT) (Simmons, 2023) series includes assets for building modern road networks in Sims 2. Use these items to enhance your city’s streets, walkways, highways, skyways, bridges, and so on. Enjoy 10 planters in various shapes and sizes. The larger landscaping blocks are designed to fit builds on 2-click/step foundations but will work with just about any space in general.

DETAILS Requires all EPs/SPs. §250 | Build > Architecture You need the BBNiche1Master (Buggybooz, 2012) and Element Repository - both are available in the Repository Pack (Simmons, 2023). Any recolors you have for these can be applied to items in this set (see #ts2rcolors, #co2recolors, #co2repo, and #co2repopack). If the 3x3 Grassy Round is too high poly for your liking, the Large Circular Landscaping Block is a great substitute. ITEMS Landscaping Blocks (141-284 poly) Nol22, 2x1 Grassy Strip (61 poly) Nol22, 2x2 Grassy Strip (73 poly) Nol22, 3x3 Grassy Round (1150 poly) DOWNLOAD (choose one) from SFS | from MEGA

NetworkMAT: DIY Neon Tunnels

Published: 1-21-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY The Network Materials (NetworkMAT) (Simmons, 2023) series includes assets for building modern road networks in Sims 2. Use these items to enhance your city’s streets, walkways, highways, skyways, bridges, and so on. A set of modular objects for constructing tunnels…or sewers, secret passages, underground escape routes and such. Small tunnels must be at least 5x6 tiles while large tunnels must be at least 9x12 tiles. Of course, you can mix and match items for your own needs.

DETAILS Requires all EPs/SPs. §100 | Build > Architecture You need the BBNiche1Master (Buggybooz, 2012) or the Repository Pack (Simmons, 2023). Objects are meant to be used with 1-story or 2-story walls. Rain/Snow will fall through them unless you add floor tiles on top. **There are some shadowy spots on the meshes but I don’t mind them much.

ITEMS Small/Large Tunnel (624-822 poly) Small/Large Tunnel Entrance (603 poly) Small/Large Tunnel Wall (96 poly) Small/Large Tunnel Inner Cable (496 poly) Small/Large Tunnel Neon (1008 poly) - requires Nightlife EP. Small/Large Tunnel Vent (875 poly) DOWNLOAD (choose one) from SFS | from MEGA SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED

Easy assembly – place the tunnel and entrance objects on the SAME tile. Objects are quarter-tile enabled but you’ll probably need “move objects on/off” and “grid on/off” cheats. Add the deco wall, cables, vents, and neon accents as needed by 1) placing them on the SAME tile as the other object, then 2) moving them forward depending on where you want them in the tunnel. Make sure accent items are aligned (in the same tile row) as the wall, entrance, and tunnel parts. Finally, you’ll need walls/fences to block sims from walking through the structure. The Tile Blocker (Simmons, 2023) may come in handy as well.

NetworkMAT: Tunnel Entrances

Published: 2-19-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY The Network Materials (NetworkMAT) (Simmons, 2023-2024) series includes assets for building modern road networks in Sims 2. Use these items to enhance your city’s streets, walkways, highways, skyways, bridges, and so on. This is a set of four decorative tunnel entrances in various sizes and one column. Use them to give your streets/highways a realistic look. Items are meant for use on individual lots but are visible in hood view.

DETAILS Requires all EPs/SPs. §900| Build > Architecture OR Build > Misc > Columns You need the BBNiche1Master object from the Nooks & Niches series (Buggybooz, 2012) orfrom the Repository Pack (Simmons, 2023).

NetworkMAT: Modern-Future Highways

Published: 1-30-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY The Network Materials (NetworkMAT) (Simmons, 2023-2024) series includes assets for building modern road networks in Sims 2. Use these items to enhance your city’s streets, walkways, highways, skyways, bridges, and so on. A collection of modern, retro-futuristic items to construct highways, overpasses, tunnels, and other network structures. Objects have low-to-medium poly counts considering their footprint/actual size – this shouldn’t be an issue on slower computers if you don’t place too many of the higher-poly items on the same lot and mind your game settings.

DETAILS Requires all EPs/SPs. §40-500 | Build > Architecture OR Build > Misc > Fences You need the BBNiche1Master (Buggybooz, 2012) and Plain Glass meshes from the Repository Pack (Simmons, 2023). The two files with “MESH” in the filename are also required. Objects are meant to be used with 1-story or 2-story walls. Rain/Snow will fall through them unless you add floor tiles on top. The Modern Highways (10x10-MESH and 5x5-REPO) are based on CuriousB’s Road Overlay (2012). The footprint and functions differ so unfortunately, recolors must be re-made for this object. The original mesh texture and default textures from NetworkMAT: Streets of 2Morrow (Simmons, 2022).

ITEMS (all low-to-medium poly) 5x5 Tile Modern Highway (18 poly) 10x10 Modern Highway (18 poly) Honeycomb Fencing (~932 poly) 1 Story, 5 Tile Modern Highway Rail 001 (2384 poly) 1 Story, 10 Tile Modern Highway Rail 001 (2414 poly) 2 Story, 5 Tile Modern Highway Rail 001 (2236 poly) 2 Story, 10 Tile Modern Highway Rail 001 (2416 poly) 1 Story, 5 Tile Modern Highway Rail 001 (Top-Only) (688 poly) 1 Story, 10 Tile Modern Highway Rail 001 (Top-Only) (685) 1 Story, 5 Tile Modern Highway Rail 002 (1265 poly) 2 Story, 10 Tile Modern Highway Rail 002 (1265 poly) 10 Tile Modern-Future Tunnel Wall 001 (1 Story, 10 Tile) (744 poly) 10 Tile Modern-Future Tunnel Wall 001 (Ventless) (1 Story, 10 Tile) (294 poly) 10 Tile Modern-Future Tunnel Wall 002 (1 Story, 10 Tile) (1954 poly) Taller InvisiBarrier Fencing in “Ether/Hallucination/Steam” (~1300 poly)

DOWNLOAD (choose one) from SFS | from MEGA *Fences do not show up in the included collection file.

BUILDING TIPS Default roads in Sims 2 generate at the front of all lots and are typically: 1) 10 tiles wide, 2) run from the left to right ends , and 3) contain two one-way roads going in opposite directions (cars take up 3 tiles and there is a 2-tile margin). You can combine the Portal Revealer (Simlogical/Inge Jones, 2013; 2007) and the updated Drive-By Hydrant (WHoward/Pick n’ Mix, 2023) to manage functional pedestrian/car traffic on your highways. See mod instructions, discussion threads, etc. as there are some limitations involved. I recommend removing the Portal Revealer mod from your downloads folder BEFORE packaging lots.

WIP: NetworkMAT Add-Ons

Published: 1-20-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY The Network Materials (NetworkMAT) (Simmons, 2023) series includes assets for building modern road networks in Sims 2. Use these items to enhance your city’s streets, walkways, highways, skyways, bridges, and so on.

It’s time to give those flat, boring streets some more flavor! Road defaults and overlays like my Streets of 2Morrow (2023) set or these – Neighborhood Reboot (CuriousB, 2012), Default Hood/Road Replacements (LordCrumps, YEAR), Ultimate Road Default Replacement V2 (Tvickiesims, 2022), Rural Charm (Criquette, 2018) – certainly add some flare. Still, I want to be able to do more elaborate streetscaping in my game. To that end, here are some previews of various networkMAT objects I hope to release in 2024. These items will require my Repo Pack (Simmons, 2023).

Instead of the 1-step foundations I initially planned, I’ll be using 2-step foundations for most buildings within my city, especially downtown areas. These pieces are designed for “extending” the sidewalk and foundations (at the default 4-step height) to the edge of the lot and in other directions.

Depending on how you arrange them, they should give the illusion of a gutter/sewer system below. Of course, you could also make canals, elevated roads, tunnels, train tracks, and other structures too.

There will be bridges, overpasses, trains, trams, subways, pedways, and more! I’ll be moving the car/pedestrian portals around so that sims/traffic pass through the lot in various places. I've already tested having traffic pass on a road 2-stories above ground and pedestrians entering the lot from an elevator on the 4th floor - it works!

NetworkMAT: Streets of 2morrow

Published: 7-21-2023 | Updated: 9-28-2023

SUMMARY The Network Materials (NetworkMAT) (Simmons, 2023) series includes assets for building modern road networks in Sims 2. Use these items to enhance your city’s streets, walkways, highways, skyways, bridges, and so on.

Streets of 2morrow (Simmons, 2022-2023) adds intricate, modern road networks to your game with a look inspired by SimCity: Cities of Tomorrow (EA, 2013). It includes winter-ready road replacements, 40+ road overlays, and 130+ modular floor tiles. The road defaults contain no visible grass/dirt, so they’ll work with all terrains. Road overlays come with several recolors for a variety of projects, including bike lanes and narrow roads.

DETAILS Requires ALL EPs/SPs. Blue, gold, white, and A/B tiles should be used together respectively. There are left- and top-aligned versions to maintain the hex pattern across all tiles. Some corner tile seams will be visible - this is a default game quirk - but they’re hardly noticeable when used with other tiles.

No new driveway recolors are included. To create matching driveways, combine the floor tiles with invisible driveway/extension objects such as these by RoddyAeixo (2006).

When in lot view, the neighborhood roads at the edges of the lot appear darker. This is another default quirk, but they match perfectly in hood view.

Since there are no grass/dirt medians, you’ll need to move the mailbox, trashcan, and/or phone booth at least two tiles from the front of the lot.

ITEMS Cost: §9-11 | Floors > Misc and Deco > Misc

130+ Floor Tiles (create crosswalks, gutters, divisions, zones, alt. lanes, etc.). DOWNLOAD (includes collection file) from SFS | from MEGA

Road Defaults (2-way straight, 2-way turn, 3-way stop, 4-way stop, cul-de-sac) – winter-ready, for all terrains. DOWNLOAD from SFS | from MEGA

40+ Road Overlays (2-way straight, 2-way turn, 3-way stop, 4-way stop, cul-de-sac) – winter-ready, conforms to sloped terrain. DOWNLOAD from SFS | from MEGA
