FARHW curve

With room for expansion, I see.

This is something old, never published before, I've changed the trees around the highway.

And now for something a little different. Window streets on each side of the highway.

Had to get somewhat creative with a few of my freeway exits.

@TalkingHead77: I like the nice creativity and I see you sneaked in a smooth curve there, but I think using regular MHW is very outdated, I think you can reinstall the NAM to add Project Symphony (which I'm sure you know, overrides MHW with new, RHW-like textures) as MHW is massively underscaled (to fit oversized cars) and to some builders here on ST, it's just ugly (not to say your work isn't quite ingenious, esp. with the parclo-esque interchange!) to see vanilla MHW when MHO/RHW are available. In all fairness, it's completely Maxis's fault LOL

Nice. I have done similar, and my time in Arizona showed me lots of uses for rural highways with frontage roads or access only from side roads. I read your linked description of "window road", but I'm not clear on the difference to frontage roads. Less access to the limited access road? The fancy view and view protection features?

 

...and to some builders here on ST, it's just ugly...

 

Probably to most, but others are fine with it. No need to start another discussion of scaling issues in the game. They are complex. MHWs still have their place in today's game.

Not much traffic on this stretch but the view is awesome

That image looks pretty nice! You might try using FARHW pieces instead of those two 45-degree curves; as it is, the curve looks too jagged and it could be a lot smoother.

My highways aren't really much to look at, but here's a curve:

[TPB 563]

Like this Compdude787?

 

I don't think I can get it smoother than this..

Very nice Haljackey!

 

What are those white wall corner lots at the top left of the image?

[aegian 182]

I wouldn't mind taking a drive in that highway timmie.

 

Beatiful train station Haljackey, what is its name?

Building a new SPUI (now Exit 12) for Highway 140 north of Redmund.

Yes, those are 2-level FLEXHeight transitions there if you're asking.

Thanks Haljackey! Big fan of your old UDI videos.

 

Also for anyone interested found the link to download the station.

[Chesh 173]

just rolled this highway out along the river, creating access to the industrial complex on the right. wastes plenty of prime real estate for sure, but it's a pleasant commute so the sims don't mind

 

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Nice highway, I particularly love the sweeping bend as it approaches the bay.

[Haljackey 17,398]

Double overpass

 

[Abrams 1,744]

Double overpass

 

Haha i see you're using the ontario texture set with nam 33,too altough it has some problems.But that won't stop us from using the texture,aint?

[timmie 988]

Oh yes. (Does anybody know another, easier way to do this? I created an elevated highway and then edited the terrain with the Terraformer.)

[rsc204 21,866]

If that's a diagonal bridge, then no, not at this time, although the NAM team may look into expanding the DBE support at some point in the future, looks good though.

One possibility exists, armed with v2 of my MHO Fix mod, you can use the Maxis Highway Override for the DBE now, although that's only good for RHW-4.

[Allein 329]

it might work with the SetSeaLevel cheat.

"SetSeaLevel 0"

Drag RHW

Save and reload the maps

I suppose that would work, but the result wouldn't look like a bridge, I think. Just a bit of RHW floating in the air. It could work with elevated RHW, but that would require diagonal height transitions, and as far as I know, there are no such included in the RHW

How did you do that with the curve?
