About This File

The SAM (Street Addon Mod - NAM) is one of those indispensable mods, adding a wealth of variety to street networks. But SAM 6 however was a little too bright for my tastes, so I've darkened the textures slightly, to reduce their visual impact.

This is one of those things I often tinker with, I figured that some others may also find it useful.

v2.36 of SAM 6 Darkened (Nov 20) includes the following improvements:

  • New Rail Crossing textures, based on those from NAM36. Support for RRW, PEG 205 and Maxis original textures still covered.
  • Many fixes/improvements.
  • Full EU Texture support.
  • NEW SAM WRC support.

Install

This mod is packaged as a Windows .exe installer. For those that would prefer not/are unable to use an Installer, the NSIS installer files can be opened with 7zip or a similar application. If you wish to do this, you will have to manually setup the folder/file structure with the correct individual files within the archive.

Please refer to the installed documentation for further details, note these files are installed here:

My Documents\SimCity 4\LEX_Downloads\MGB Mods

This is to avoid cluttering up your Plugins folders with non-SC4 files.

De-Coupling Rail Crossing Textures

When installing SAM 6 Darkened, you can de-select the Rail Crossing Textures. This option exists, so users with other mods, will not have issues when installing SAM 6 Darkened, even if SAM 6 Darkened loads after them.

  • The Rail Crossing Textures should be de-selected if you are using the RRW Reskin mod.

Note: No SAM 6 Darkened support is included for such optional custom textures, you need to get compatible versions from elsewhere, or those networks will remain with the default style. This feature simply allows you to prevent this mod from conflicting with them.

Dependencies / Compatibility

The NAM is required to make use of this mod, specifically you must install set #6 of the Street Addon Mod or the contents of this mod will never appear in-game.

This mod is designed for either the US or EU Cosmetic ReTexture mod in the NAM. Both RHD and LHD textures are supported. Additionally you can select from three rail types, Maxis, PEG 205 or RRW (Real Railway).
