About This File

Short description:

I’ve frequently been bothered by the fact that the default Maxis ferry terminal (for cars and passengers) is only transit enabled for two roads instead of an avenue. Although this is only a little annoyance, I’ve modified it to add two extra ferry terminals transit enabled for avenue and one-way roads, respectively, since I'm considering this way the better. Both work the same way as the default ferry terminal from the game, and costs and all other values are the same. They are to be found in the seaport menu.

This plugin does not replace or overwrite the default Maxis ferry terminal. All ferry terminals that you’ve already built will still work and will not be affected by this plugin.

 

Dependencies:

This plugin doesn't require external dependencies.

 

Currently available languages:

  • English
  • German

(This only refers to the description and the readmes; the item names have not changed and therefore are available in all languages that SimCity 4 has been released so far.)

 

Installation:

Download the archive and extract all files to a folder where you will find them. Move or copy this folder into your Plugins sub-folder of your edition of SimCity 4 (for instance: C:/Programs/Maxis/SimCity 4/Plugins). You can simply overwrite any previous version of this plugin with the new files.

To uninstall, please delete all files from your plugin subfolder.

Note, if you have installed version 1: Please remove all previous files from this plugin before installing the new version. You do not need to bulldoze ferry terminals that you have already built. Reason: Some file names have been changed, and there’s now a multilingual version available which makes the current language files obsolete.

This plugin comes in several languages. Please look into the folder “Languages“ and manually delete all files except the one with the language you want to have displayed as game text (e.g. for English: FerryTerminalAvenue_Description_English). not necessary anymore

 

Compatibility:

This plugin is only compatible with SimCity 4: Rush Hour or SimCity Deluxe.

Yes! Thanks for doing this! I was considering doing this myself since it has bugged me too, but seems like you've beaten me to it. Downloading immediately... :D

Thank you, my highways frequently depend on car ferry terminals to cross large rivers, and this makes it so that there are no awkward disruptions!

Great simplicity! (See what I did there)? This is a mod anyone and everyone should use! I was annoyed when I couldn't connect my fancy-dancy avenues to my ferry port but now I can! 5/5 Well done! 

EDIT: I forgot to mention that having such a clear and detailed description was extremely useful and something that I wish all modders did. Although personally I dislike RAR files, I would prefer a ZIP file or even better just a folder with the read-me and DAT in.

The game crashes when I try to connect an avenue to it.  

 

I'm running the game on a Mac via Wine.  I have NAM installed, but I used the Maxis avenue.  Not sure if either of these factors has to do with the game's stability.

So the crash only happens if you don't extend the avenue all the way to the ferry's T-intersection.

 

Carry on.
