Department of Transportation
v1.0 - September 18, 2025
by Kel9509

With help from Lucario Boricua, CorinaMarie, Tyberius06, Ulisse Wolf, Null 45, and the entire Network Addon Mod team.

The Department of Transportation provides comprehensive statistics about all of your transportation networks, as well as information in the tooltips about how the networks in the Network Addon Mod operate.  Every item (even the intro text) can be hovered over for additional information to assist you in managing your transportation networks.

These lots are designed to show as many in-game transportation variables to you as possible (excluding airport/seaports).

This download includes the following:

  1. Department of Transportation Query, which is linked to the buildings.
  2. Department of Transportation Main Office Lot 3x4 - Dark Nite
  3. Department of Transportation Main Office Lot 3x4 - Maxis Nite
  4. Department of Transportation Rural Office Lot 4x3 (Maxis Nite only)

To install, extract the zip file into your Plugins.  Subfolders are included to assist with organization.

* These lots use a custom query to provide in-game stats about your transportation networks, updating on the 28th of each month (generally, sometimes an additional month is needed).

* Each lot is a government reward building that can be plopped with no conditions multiple times in your city.

* Each lot is unique and does not overwrite the others.

* The lots can be found in the Landmarks Menu (also in Reward Menu if not using Submenu DLL). If using submenus, they will be found in the default Government Buildings submenu.

* In addition to information about transportation networks and tips about how the NAM works in the tooltips, the building lots provide positive Landmark effects, slightly negative Park effect (due to negative reaction to government bureaucracy), a small positive Mayor effect, and Demand Cap Relief for all Residential, Commercial, and Industrial types (except that Farm cap relief is only available for the Rural version). The buildings also provide a decent amount of civic jobs.

Maxis Nite vs. Dark Nite:
This download contains two identically-looking lots for the Department of Transportation Main Office.  One is for Dark nite users and the other is for standard Maxis nite.  Both can be added to your plugins without overwriting the other, but in order to avoid duplication in your downloads  you should delete the one you do not need.  The Maxis nite file has "MN" at the end and the Dark nite file  has "DN" at the end.

Dependencies:
Although not strictly required in order to use these lots, the Network Addon Mod should be installed as well since all of the transit stats embedded in the Query are based off of the NAM:

Other required Dependencies are:

1. Reynolds Buidling by Diego Del Llano (either Maxis Nite or Dark Nite version):
Only the Model file of either the Dark Nite (DN) or Maxis Nite (MN) is needed.

2. Labashaz Museum v2 by s_olah:
Only the model file is needed.
