Show us your Night Shots!

I was a bit underwhelmed by my night shots. I thought the Darknite mod would replace the blue and violet shades, but as can be seen in my previous post, it didn't. Stupid me! I never installed it properly. So here are now the intended images:

Customising LRM, I am finally getting close to having full light coverage on road networks, still so much work to do though.

When I was on a holiday, I sat in a bar which played chillout music and showed beautiful, tranquil, night cityscapes all across the globe. It was a terrific show for an urban-sensitive fellow like me. Your pictures are very much like what I saw.

I'd go with either the first one or the last one.

I imagine it'll be a personal preference sort of thing, but I prefer Maxis Night.

I like being able to actually see things and I think back to old movies CB and I watch. Those from way last century can have night scenes and while more grayish, you can still see all that is happening and enjoy that as the plot unfolds. More recent movies just toss up a near black mess for half an hour and you might as well turn the screen off and just listen. (It really seems to me that's a giant leap backwards in entertainment.)

Although, 9 out of 10 Riddicks would disagree.

Ohh that's a good way of putting it. The Dark Night mod definitely looks fantastic for skyline shots at night, but I just love being able to see all my highways and the movement of cars on them which is why I could never fully switch to using it. Though perhaps some might say that's a bit of twisted obsession in this time of climate change(even if the city is fictional), I promise I'll get some help one day! 😅

Have a look at this NAM tutorial: https://www.sc4nam.com/docs/feature-guides/turning-lanes/#building-slip-lanes.

Note that it uses two networks, first the One-way road, then the Road network!

      Gotta join in the little party, with one of my most iconic cities!     

 

CITY OF SAMANÁ
Nighttime Views

 

We begin with a dramatic view of the city center, never thought it'd look this amazing when the sun is down!

 

 

Over here we have one of my biggest headaches turned reality, the replacement of a diamond interchange with a partial cloverleaf AB / folded diamond Only way I could fit smooth curves around these parts, took a lot of re-development once I relocated the diagonal freeway segment

 

 

And here we have the Flyover Dragon, fiery and majestic under the starry skies!

 

 

We also have the one and only, the original that started it all, the Stackasaurus Rex!     

 

 

And now a panorama of the inner city freeways that snake their way between the neighborhoods, with portions of both the downtown and uptown city center areas!

It is not outdated. I have tried only a few days ago and it worked. And I am sure you switched between networks, i.e. building the stub with One-way road, then dragging with Road. So perhaps something necessary from NAM was not installed? Maybe double-check, here are the requirements: https://www.sc4nam.com/docs/feature-guides/turning-lanes/#installation.
