About This File

NOTE: When downloading and installing the new version, please make sure you have gotten rid of the earlier version of the mod.

 

Hey guys :)

 

This mod allows you to plop an interchange in your city (see screenshot for what it looks like). This will add a sense of realism to your city as well as solve traffic problems and let your creativity spread :).

 

6:40PM 7/7/2014 - Xoxide has just informed me that ProcsKalone had originally done this mod. I did not intend to steal any of his ideas, so I am posting this to give him credit for his work.

 

Here's the video:

 

 

You can plop the interchange by going to the Custom Roads submenu (in Akar: https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/29715-project-akar/) and going to the last icon.

 

NOTE: Bulldozing the interchange may cause your game to crash. Be extremely careful!

 

How to install:

 

- Unzip the file.

- Install the .package file into your SimCityData folder.

 

Special thanks to:

 

- Yayie: For helping me with the road menus and which ones to use.

- Xoxide: For telling me what properties I needed to finish off the mod and helping me with the texture/terrain issue.

- Danny50205: For also assisting me with the road menus and helping me add a few properties I needed. He also helped me implement the new icon into the game.

- ProcsKalone: For telling me how to fix the texture/terrain issue.

- Banwashere: For creating the new icon.

- MaxvSk: For helping me implement the new icon into the game.

- HyugaHinata: For being energetic and wanting to contribute in any way possible, for making the interchange bulldozable, and for allowing power, water, and sewage to pass through the interchange.

 

Without these people, this mod would not be possible. So send them a PM and thank them for their hard work.

Love the mod. Thank you. However, is it possible to fix and are there plans to fix the following issues:

 

1. Water, power, sewage, etc won't travel through the interchange. Kinda useless without this.

 

2. Rotation. Since SimCity simply doesn't support rotation, how about 4 total variations? North, South, East, West.

 

3. Trees grow on top of the interchange. Can this be prevented?

 

4. Since the structure is essentially a building, bridges can't be built over top of it and tunnels cannot be built below it. In addition, the non build radius around the interchange is a lot of wasted space. Is it possible to 'trick' the game into thinking the radius around the interchange is much smaller than it actually is?

 

Thanks again for a great mod.

Update to rotate in 10° incruments­­ and you have a good useful mod. Till then I can only use it in 1 direction. Not rateable, Sry.

Can't get any roads to attach to it. Dont seem to work at all. Plus I can't get it to rotate, will only plop in one direction which isn't useful.

good idea.

the lanes and ramps should be redrawn to match up with whatever kind of avenue or highway that will connect with this.  the ramps are lining up with sidewalks or grass for me.

Ask UDoN or Project Akar for a few tips on getting this to work an Region

And at least make 4 identical plops for each of the cardinal directions cause i highly doubt this will ever be rotatable since its basically ploping a building

Hi guys. I don't normally comment but I am always always really thankful for all of these mods, especially the true 'game changer' mods which would include UDON (fantastic, utter pleasure!) as well as a massive decent handful of others. In my opinion, EA do not deserve half the money they got from the sales of this game, the modders do. Respect guys. You have showed EA up big time!

 

One thing with this mod is that V3, the bottom section (lets call the interchange a T), the bottom of the T wouldn't connect up with anything, so I grabbed V2 and that 1 worked fine. Not sure if it's just my version though (Parrot on shoulder, I'm not tight, I'd rather give the money to the modders).

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all and a massive thanks to all the modders

Since this has been asked for by a great number of people and it hasn't been added ... I suspect it will never be. Sad, such a useful mod if it had the four versions, now it's almost worthless
