When setting out to make a Sidewalk Mod, I wanted to have the variety of using all three wealths, whilst keeping them similar enough that they still work together well. Please note that at its core, this package is simply a Sidewalk Mod, you can, if you want, install that and nothing else from the download. However, it optionally includes a complete version of my SWN mod, which adds sidewalk overrides for the NAM, ensuring your transport networks blend in perfectly with your Custom Sidewalks. Installation 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 SWN, you can de-select the Rail Crossing Textures. This option exists, so users with other mods for those features will not have issues when installing SWN, even if SWN loads after them. The Rail Crossing Textures should be de-selected if you are using the RRW Reskin mod. Note: No SWN support is included for such optional custom textures, you need to get SWN compatible versions from elsewhere, or those networks will remain as their defaults. This feature simply allows you to prevent SWN from conflicting with such customisations. Dependencies / Compatibility There are no dependencies for this mod. The base mod is suitable for use with the vanilla game, but I highly recommend using it with the latest version of the Network Addon Mod. Of course, it goes without saying, it would also look weird if you were not using the supported Sidewalk mod. Highly Recommended: Network Addon Mod The Japanese NAM Facelift Mod
SWN does NOT cover some legacy pieces, which are already covered by this mod. See the included Readme for full details of how to use both together. 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). SWN was designed from the ground up to be used with either my TGN or NGN mods. It also contains support for Rivit's Urban TSR mod. Help make this mod better Found a missing or unsupported texture? Having problems or got comments? Then why not visit my thread at either SC4D (MGB's Mods and other stuff) or Simtropolis (MGB's Lot and Mod Shack)? I would like to say a big thank you to the following people Rivit, for the huge support and tools that made this mod possible in the first place. A big thank you to David G. Varona for making the Alpha textures for the Turbo Roundabouts and GLR, plus for showing me how to use photo-editing tools. Without your help, I would never have started down this road.
