Not normally. They can be on the edge of the sidewalk if you want them near lots- like a city. But sometimes, on the sidewalk if I have to.

If I remember correctly I think in legacy island you placed them on the edge of the lot? Is that good placement?

Sure. :)

@rflong, I think this is my last two questions for this section for the world XD

It has an opening on the side here and I can't seem to cover it up. Any ideas/recommendations ?

If lover it, the other part gets covered in grass.

WHne I place streetlights and signs, do I place them on the sidewalk area of the road or?

What about a stone post or bollard?
I usually have this web page open in the background when I'm working in caw, it's not complete but it helps.

Thank you. I will try those out and have a look on that website. I'm sure something will fit and look good. ^^

@Rflong7

I'm in need of your expertise, the whole city area is on a risen area. So what I'm wondering is what to with ALL those slopes XD

Should I do what you helped me with before? I feel like it be overdone then but I have no idea of what to do to make it look pretty.

Hi :)

What I would do is make flat areas and then slope it down to another flat area. Check out Bridgeport and see how they did it... A few flat areas combined with slopes. :)

@Rflong7

Is this what you mean?

I'm not sure how well that would work since this slope isn't too big, I placed a tree for comparison

I tried it,

then smoothed the edges to make the slope again and painted them rock color or else it doesn't show

Is this kind of the idea you had? :)

No, no. Not that side of the map. More like they use the retaining walls in sections along the roads so the roads can slope down... Sometimes they just slope it down and have the road go down. It can be a short slope to save space.

No need to make such long or many steps. :)

Very confused XD

I'll go back in game tomorrow and try to find it.

Let me find some pictures. :)

See how they use some of the retaining walls in the city but it's gentle slopes?

You can also just go gently without walls and part of a lot-
