Paint by numbers streets

I would love to have a black and white, paint-by-numbers location that the players helped fill in (either individually or cooperatively) until it was a full colour street. I imagine it either as an instanced space like the Eesti Life Catalogue where i can have all kinds of painting fun, or an entire region or hub that takes a lot of effort in the vein of a street building project.

Either way, in order to do the painting there could be a number of requirements...

Perhaps you have to find the hidden pots of paint;
Perhaps you have to grind loads of ore and spices into the right colour pigments;
Perhaps you have to add meat to make the PIGments;

and so on.

  • I had a similar idea awhile back - upgrading streets by dyeing various detai's ifferent colors - it seems very Glitchian. I ditched the idea because i think it would require a total redesign of the street art (and possibly infrastructure). Still a cool idea tho! ;)

  • While it may not be feasable for streets (I agree that it would probably require a retooling), perhaps this could be worked into a housing update if TS allows customizable housing/furniture.

    It's certainly easier to design new items as item/color assets than it is to rewrite the existing code for the objects in the streets. And if the houses are pulling from the same template, there's not a lot of rewriting to be done for them. I suspect such a change would be easier for the housing streets on a grand scale than it would be for localized paint-by-numbers streets.

    I would like to be wrong. I really like this idea.

  • Well, new street art is always being added, so you'd start from scratch rather than work on de-colouring art that already existed. I think if you were hitting a small, pre-defined set of colours, you could certainly give it a go across a whole location. (in my dreams, a whole region)
