Some roads are locked?

[tawdry lynx]

I’ve recently come back to TheoTown after a while of not playing, and I’ve noticed that some of the vanilla roads that used to be available are now locked. (Image 1) When I click on them, they offer no explanation as to why they are locked or how to unlock them. (Image 2)

Strangely (to me at least), a few days ago only the country road and the one-way road were locked. Then yesterday the avenue, expressway, and highway were also locked. And today the one-way road unlocked.

I have found workarounds for this but it is a little annoying and kind of mysterious. So I want to ask: Why is this happening? Is this an intended feature? How can I unlock the roads again?

Thanks.

Well, the vanilla roads have always been unlocked according to the level of your city (plot) lifelong, but in sandbox you should have them all unlocked, so here the "problem" maybe can be that in the roads plugin that you are using it's override the id of the road, or just they set it lock by default so u only can use the according road of the plugin. (I don't use that roads plugin so I can't be 100% sure, but almost 😅), you can try to play in a new sandbox map with that plugin inactive (so it doesn't modify your current roads on ur current map with plugins) and thus be able to confirm that is the "problem"

Hi! Thanks for your reply. I want to ask, how do you create a map with selected inactive plugins? I am on iOS btw.
