I'd suggest it be a toggle thing like with path supports... (Would probably be-slightly easier than the supports for the wooden coasters, and yes a good idea.)
I want to make our own scenery and build items to share on steam
I know about Steam Workshop. What I am not aware of is how to create walls and stuff for the game. Is there a guide to importing custom parts anywhere?
Well if we *could* then we could make bits of wall that look like mine-props, and glass walls etc.
Is there a leaderboard for the game? I thought the challenge was purely against the game in which case using CC is an individual choice. Even if it was competitive, if each piece of CC only counted the same as the type of content it was based off then there would be no advantage anyway.
Well you'd do it how we do it in the sims. If you share a park with CC in it you say so and list the CC so anyone who wants to use your park can subscribe to those items, or else the items are simply replaced by what they were based off (the original guid should be stored with the CC as a fallback, and its the original GUID that will decide the value of that CC). If you share a park without CC in it you say "No CC" in your description and it will be more popular that the parks with CC in. I don't see the problem. For many many years sims players who don't like CC have walked alongside those who do each side playing the game as they prefer it.
