Simple Grate
x 17
so, I saw that fansee has been uploading the contents of her downloads folder (the things she made herself of course) and I thought I might jump on the bandwagon. Um yea.
So, I had a look and I found this - it is a street grate.
It is a whopping 12 polygons in size and costs a fairly non-prohibitive 1 simoleon. It is recolourable, but comes with only one recolour and only one subset. Come on - it's a GRATE. Sheesh. You can find it in the buy catalog in deco/miscellaneous.
Special features:
Í tested on a lot with taxi's and cars - no issues seen as far as blocking portals etc. Enjoy.
Now with an update from Pixelhate - a better Normal map

Special features:
- Visible from hood view
- Intersectable by objects and Sims
- Can be placed on the road in a lot with no cheats.

: what about a non slurpy wall version (

Actually, if you make a new item and clone it from wall deco, it will be AL-shiftable whether you want it or not (yes, even if you've unchecked everything except the base game in SimPE before you cloned - I think Maxis made the change deep in the bowels of the wall deco Init). 
It's only when you want to make an old (pre-AL) item shiftable that you need to add a BHAV and thus break BG compatibility - unless you add an EP check first to bypass it if AL isn't installed, that is.
I feel a little bad that I never finished the slurpy version of this. I still have it, but I could never work around the "don't evaporate while it's raining" problem and that made me all discouraged.
I mean, what point is a grate if it doesn't start draining puddles until the rain has stopped?! Imagine what the street would look like if grates worked like that IRL...
