About This File

City Link Transport Hub, by Mattb325.
---------------------------------------

This is a purely fictional 1980's style building designed as a transport interchange suitable for downtown and other built-up areas.

The podium floors of this building act as a rail, subway, bus, underground park & ride and pedestrian interchange. It also allows freight trains to pass through the station. It has a total capacity of 165,000 passengers so is perfect for big cities.

The two towers are also functional and provide 1,600 jobs across all wealth levels.

In game, this building is found in the Miscellaneous Transport Menu (about half-way down near the subway line).

Once placed, drag two rail lines right through the building and connect the front and back of the lot to the road network using street tiles.
To activate the subway component of this building, simply drag the subway line anywhere into the lot (note: as this is a multifuctional lot that there is no traditional 'stub' that you have to connect to as seen in other subway buildings) and of course then connect it to other subway stations within your city.
Similarly if you wish to activate the bus component of the building, simply place a bus stop somewhere else on your city tile.

If you don't wish to use any of the subway, rail or bus features, that's fine, simply don't connect that particular feauture to the lot (you may end up with the advisors nagging about 'mass transit 101' but you can safely ignore their wailing).
At a minimum however, the building must be connected to the road, water and power networks or it will abandon. ^{(N.B. I have put the 'bleeding obvious' in here as some twit recently told me that batters now have to provide "customer service" even when they are no longer active......as if providing all of this for free or your enjoyment isn't enough...lowest common denominator, here we come...yeah, baby} )

This is the first in a series of multi-function transport lots that I will be releasing shortly. As this one doesn't involve NAM elevated networks and is more of a visual alternative to the ever-popular ninja boulevard kiosk, I have decided to release it separately from the upcoming pack.

Lastly, a ****huge***** thankyou to RSC204/MGB204 who provided the modding for this file: you can be certain that the stats and values behave according to NAM methodologies.

NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE:

This download contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users (and other night-time darkening mods, such as Gizmos or Mashty's night-mod) and one for the standard Maxis nite.
You must keep only one file - depending on which version you use. If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. Regardless of which file you choose to keep, make sure you DO NOT delete the Lot File!

If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod.
Either: (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23089-simfox-day-and-nite-modd/) *recommended* OR Mashty Nite Mod: (http://hide-inoki.com/bbs/archives/sc4_0764.html)

---------------------------------------

NOTE ABOUT PARKING TEXTURES:

The parking textures you see in some of the images are adjacent to the lot and are used as fillers. The main parking provided by this lot is the large underground area as well as a little bit at the back.

DEPENDENCIES:

To ensure proper functionality, make sure the following files are in your plugins:

The below listed dependencies are all can be found in the hereby linked dependency pack compilation.
- BSC MEGA Props CP Vol01

OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES:

*Network Addon Mod V36 (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/26793-network-addon-mod-NAM-for-windows-installer/).

I have tested this in Vanilla mode without the NAM, and it basically works as intended. But honestly, if you intend to use this without the NAM, everyone will judge you harshly :evil:

*SC4Fix: third-party patches (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/30883-sc4fix-third-party-patches-for-sc4/). If you use the NAM or even play the game, you will want this file. Enough said :-)

To install, simply unzip the contents of this file into your plugins folder.

Thanks.
