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.

This is a wonderful mod! Thank you again!
Seems to the game engine allows to build not only underground rails, but also the elevated metro. But there is only underground station. Is it possible to create an aboveground station (in any technical form - modmakers will support this), between which could pave the bridges instead of tunnels (tied to the points of roads, but not connecting with them, as in subway mod)?

Hi, just after some help please...

 

Same as shanemitch333, I am having trouble with this mod showing up in the game. As explained above it seems I need to decompress the RAR file - is this correct?

 

Presently when I download the file I don't get any option to decompress, unlike the 'zip' file, which I have the option o unzip and move files across.

 

From reading above it seems I need to download a RAR file unzipping program - again is this correct.

 

I searched for WinRAR and got to their web page, however when I went to download my virus protection advised that the page is Malicious, are you guys able to advise if this is indeed the case or can you recommend a RAR unzipping program that is going to be safe to install.

 

I am also having the same problem with the pedestrian paths, which is also a RAR file, so I assume I need to do the same with that as well.

 

further, do I need to delete any previous download of this maglev as subway in order for the update to function, or is this one in addition to the original?

 

Sorry for all the questions, just want top get these files working.

 

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions

Currently only having one problem after the most recent update. The stations frequently report that they need workers for no reason. The stations work perfectly fine and it seems to just be a UI issue.
