Diagonal Bridges?

[sadhu_navarrete 0]

Lately, I've been re-creating NYC for a while, and I'm trying to fix up my Downtown area. Since I'm using a large NYC map, I needed to make the Brooklyn Bridge a bit farther down from City Hall. In region mode, the bridge looks to small and to far away from the tip of Manhattan. 

I noticed the problem, and it was that I needed to make the bridge diagonal like in real life. That way, it would look better in the city, rather then seperate from it's real life location. Does anyone know where I can find a modd that allows me to make my bridges diagonal?

You can't.

There's a back-door way to do it using 'transit enabled' lots and a few (rather fickle) tricks with various editors. The problem is, the longer the span gets, the larger the lot must be, and the Brooklyn bridge would need to be very long I assume.

Also, you would need to model the bridge, within specifications that would allow the bridge to work. It would have to be modeled in it's entirety, and would not fit any stretch of water but the specific length it was designed for.

a game limitation...though, I wouldn't be surprised if a group of modders eventually cracked the code to doing it, amazing things have been done with SC4, but I wouldn't count on it...most recreation city journalists like TheJerseyDevil with EDMONTON just used land bridges for diagonals...this is one reason why I've never done too much in the way of recreation because of that limitation, it even hinders my fictional region though, haha.

It can't be done with modding either. It's hard-coded into the game. Unless we can distribute a modified .exe (would require a change in the copyrighting or explicit permission for EA...both pipe dreams) we cannot have diagonal bridges that work like the current orthogonal bridges.
