Offline-Only Mod: “MagLev as Subway”

This mod add a new set of MagLev tracks and stations to the game, so they mimic a Subway system rather than an elevated rail one.

The stations do not need the Academy or ControlNet in order to get unlocked and running. They do not futurize the areas around them.


You will need to have Cities of Tomorrow in order to see the stations and tracks in the MagLev palette.

Much like for the MagLev system, you'll need to place the stations on roads first and then connect the tracks between them. Subway tracks should show up with a green highlight while in the Maglev Palette or while using the Bulldozer tool.


To install this mod, just extract the rar file into your SimCityData folder.

Thanks to all the DevTesters who tested this mod. Thanks MaxisLime for the station art.


What you need to know about this mod:

  1. This mod is for offline mode only, and will cause rollbacks if played online. Make sure your remove the package file before going in multiplayer games.
  2. You need to have Cities of Tomorrow in order to use this mod.
  3. The subway tracks are tunnel paths, and therefore cannot cross the sea level. It may be difficult to use the mod in low-altitude cities.
  4. Make sure that the transition path is flush with the MagLev track when drawing it, or you'll get some missing art.

Easily the best mod so far!!!

I've unzoned all my RCI (working on casino and tourism atm) to limit future spread, does the mod also make futuristic buildings appear?

The mod does not futurize buildings, no.

I created an account just to say THANK YOU! Both for this and your other excellent mods, actually. It's always nice to see developers supporting their creation and the community.
 
 
Now, if only someone came up with a better looking subway station--no offence, Guillaume. =D

Do I half to use WinRAR?

WinRAR is free, but there are dozens of other programs that can decompress this file type, it is a common compression file type

Yeah what's going on here? Why are your mods being deleted MaxisGuillaume?
 
Again as I said before, thank you so much for this mod. It has blown me away and does really help to alleviate the traffic load.

I missed this the first time around, but it's great to see subways in SC2013!

This is fantastic.  I hope you guys can figure out under water tunnels and then this will be perfect!

Can this connect to the regular railroad that exits the city as well? Can people ride the subway to the rail, and then commute to work in other cities?

Is it possible to construct the modded tracks at the same level as the existing maglev to create an elevated railway system?

............. It may be difficult to use the mod in low-altitude cities.

 
Translating with another comment ... 
 

FYI: The mod can only really be used on maps where the water table isn't close to the top of the land - otherwise you'll be able to place the stations but not draw the actual tunnels - so the use of this mod is somewhat restricted by the map itself.

 
But if this is true then it is just a detail because after all is the metro that everyone wanted ... so those who do not yet have the Cities of Tomorrow must go rushing  buy to use more this fantastic mod ... where it possible of course! 
 
Requiens to a dying...

I have got some questions however how many sub trains should I have is it one per station ? as I had 3 stations and only 1 train and it hardly ever left the station. it would be great if there was a way to add more like a depot with modules on it same as the street cars
