Could we get a set of ground items of roads and/or sidewalks similar to maybe in a couple of different shades and/or states of cleanliness?

There are so many possibilities for using the + but not as many things for the HA to stand on in front of them besides, we need more urban backgrounds anyway

You mean like a fire hydrant, no-parking sign, bike rack, pile of uncollected refuse or bus stop bench/bench+shelter ?

No, I mean a partial background like the boxes of floor tiles that are meant to be pieced together with the wall items we have, but it's outside like a street and/or sidewalk to go with the Forgotten/Abandoned Bricks

Though I wouldn't be opposed to some smaller standalone details like a fire hydrant or bike rack (or a street that included one) but I think the bus shelter could be its own background

[edit] Something like but without the wall behind the HA

I didn't comb through the whole ground layer and didn't know about that one, but yeah, I'd like some more options like that (especially since that one is kind of outdated)

I think your idea is promising . As far as not going through all the Ground items I totally get that. I have more than twenty thousand items in my Wardrobe myself and often forget what's there already. I'm not trying to bug you sorry, I'm trying to help your Suggestion by making it more clear to staff and other users who might support your Suggestion what it is what you want. My first guess on what you meant was really wrong!

We have a Donation Present backdrop of the grafitti'ed building that came out the same time as all the grafitti foreground items that work on the wall you mentioned. Do you want foreground items like that like a building or different storefront you can plop in front of a backdrop, or is that too much like the bus shelter thing I mentioned?

To me the thing about sidewalks is that they're pretty bland and sidewalky so even though that old item is old the major interest of anyone looking at your HA is your HA and they aren't going to notice it as old, IMO. The only thing different I can think of is a corner sidewalk or taxi stand with the HA standing on it waiting for an Uber/cab, and a corner with a dip in it for the Medicontra wheelchairs.

I wouldn't mind more buildings (and the only reason I think the bus stop could/should have its own bg is just because it would be kind of big and I worry that it wouldn't sit well perspective-wise on a pieced-together backgrounds with a separate wall + street), though I personally might not use buildings as much.

My first thought was a road for the HA to stand on, like and not necessarily a sidewalk, but I like the option of both. I think maybe an option or two with litter around could fit well with some of the graffiti items (or could even be layered over the Depressed Spray Can to make the whole background messier), and I love the idea of having an option with a wheelchair ramp on it

Basically, I was combing through my WL and I have some items on there that I intend to use with the bricks since it gives a nice touch on solid-color backgrounds and basic patterns as well as having the graffiti options, but having the HA kind of "floating" in front of the wall bugs me. We do have some varied ground items that could probably work, but a lot of the ones I can think of are either grass or indoor items and aren't really what I'd be looking for

Fully support this! More unique ground items and anything that can be layered to give off other looks and the like is welcome!

Make the garbage bin items wearable! Let's have a concrete and dumpster combination.

The thin piece of sidewalk is great and I use it all the time!

There are also the path items I use combined with wall/window items:

But in addition I would love to see a road and sidewalk piece. Pieces much like the thin sidewalk, but angled. Some with litter or other dirt, cracks - just not so "perfect" as the single item we have.

This website has some really great examples of different types I'd like to see.

This HA, for example, would be great if the sidewalk were angled instead straight. Private Outfit

These ones are crying for some sort of foreground item that's less cobbled together - the first one in particular could use a "dirty" sidewalk. Private OutfitPrivate OutfitPrivate Outfit

With this one I had to use a path that leads nowhere.... Private Outfit

Yeah, there's a weird dearth of city backdrops imo. A Ground-layer sidewalk that goes all the way to the bottom of the HA area is pretty desperately needed.

I'd like a version of that's not in front of the avatar. It'd be much more useful if it didn't hide the feet; maybe it could hide the gap between the sidewalk item and the colour swatch items...
