Highway Sound Walls  2

About This File

NEW in Version 2.0: "Wavy Walls" are now completed, and available in the same 6 textures as the linear walls. Also, now only the wooden walls have a flammability value.

 

NEW in Version 1.1: 5 new texture sets, including Brick, Concrete Block, Panel, and Tile, as well as a darker Wood texture.

 

This is a complete Highway Noise Barrier set for SimCity 4, created using the BAT. These walls are almost purely ornamental, as I figured sound walls in real life don't necessarily increase desirability, but rather negate the NIMBY effect of a highway. Therefore they include a small pollution reduction and minor park effect. I also tired to price the wall segments at a realistic rate comparative to the cost of actually constructing a segment of roadway. If anybody has problems with any of this, please PM me, as some tweaks will surely need to be made.

 

Not all wall sets need to be used. Use only the ones you like. You may also safely remove the 2- and 3-tile diagonal pieces if you find them too difficult to use.

 

For comments and suggestions, please visit the "Highway Sound Walls" thread in the BAT Open Discussion forum.

Nice... I have been using these for a bit, but one thing I realised: The game crashes when you plop these at the border of a city, a straight wall. I havn't tried it with the other walls though, but this has done it three times so far. Just one little bug I know of.
