Basement Parking Blocks

1X1 blocks with 64 or 32 parking spaces, to help simulate basement parking.

The blocks are placed inside a building (Office building / Apartment building / Mall etc) and cars will drive into the building and park there.

1. "TMPE" mod with "Parking AI" turned on (so cars actually look for a parking space)
   
2. "Network Anarchy" mod with "Anarchy" turned on (so you can build roads that go into buildings)
   
3. "Ploppable RICO Revisited" mod (so that buildings don't get destroyed when the zoning grid is broken)
   
4. "Move It" mod (to move the parking blocks into the buildings)

See the pictures for a step by step guide and examples.


(you can use any road you want, these are just plain and/or narrow roads)

• Two-Lane Plain Street
  
• Tiny Narrow Alley (remove the street lights)
  
• 10m Narrow Street (remove the street lights)
  
• BIG Urban Roads - Tiny Roads Pack (remove the street lights)

Some buildings have a "built-in" parking entrance (see examples 1, 4, 5 and 6):
In this case you only need to place a road going into this entrance, and then plop the "parking block".

* A collection of buildings with a "Built-in" parking entrance can be found HERE.

For buildings that don't have a parking entrance (see examples 2 and 3):
You can use a Garage Door prop (for example) or a Garage prop (for example) to make something that looks like an entrance. Just make them the right size and height with "Move It".

Another option is to use the "Procedural Objects" mod to create an entrance.

If your'e a realism buff like me, you can also:

• Make the roads fit the width of the parking entrance (with the "Node Controller Renewal" mod)
  
• Remove street lights and signs from the road (with the "Network Skins" or "BOB" mods)
  
• Add road markings (with the "Intersection Marking Tool" mod)
  
• Remove traffic lights (with "TMPE")
  
• Lower the speed limit (with "TMPE")
  
• Block entry of trucks, buses and taxis (with "TMPE")
