      Your roads? ... weird. I've had that happen in areas where there may be 3 or more textures layered... but never had it done to a road. :?:

      Hi Sneak :)

      I had it happen to almost all my Textures in Rinn Fada a while ago - roads and just terrain paints. It was going on for weeks. I really didn't know how to fix it, it seemed unfixable (despite help and everything) until I just replaced all textures with other textures, saved, opened the world up again and replaced every texture with the original. I think it occured when I was messing with those ini files, but when I took them out the textures were still all funny and stuff. At least I got it fixed.

      Hope you get yours sorted out :)

      I've had it happen to a road in an older file... and it was fixed quickly by opening the road and redoing/selecting all the textures for the road. :)

      Oh, and I'll just add that I had to replace the textures multiple times to get the textures working again. :)

      Luckily, I was able to open my latest backup and it was fine. The only thing I'd done is try to paint under the road to disguise the break between the dirt sidewalk and the road, but instead of deleting the texture until I found the correct one, I was editing it. If I recall, I'd had that happen before, so no more editing, I will just delete and add a new texture :roll:.

      This is actually easily fixed with s3pe, no matter what textures that turns to that icky brown colour.

      There are instructions on how to do it here: http://customsims3.com/forums/thread-92.html
