Smooth Bridge slopes

[Jezus53 18]

I love making Rural highway and ground level highway overpasses. I think they add a nice realistic touch to the game. But I hate using the NAM ramp because most overpass ramps are not made of slope columns but of mounds of dirt. The problem, I  am having trouble making smooth inclines due to the lack of useful tools. So how do you make this:

Is there a program I need to get off the stexs or is it just a lot skill with the SC4 tools?

I have the NAM and I don't even know how you did that. I think what you are talking about is both a program and a skill you need to use in order to make said program work right.

Well the NAM has a ramp puzzle piece. So it's just an ugly cement ramp. I want a hill so it looks good.

Simocream(sorry for speeling)'s holediggers

i do it by hand with either the mayor mode and God mode terreform tools.  the work here is so small and detailed i just find it easier for me this way.  and as for the lack of useful tools, i also use the cheat for God mode...hold the shift + ctrl + alt keys together and click on God mode...hope this helps

I do have the holediggers, but that doesn't help with making the smooth grade. I do use the 15 meter ground lifter then try and extend and lower in gradually, but I usually end up with one or two sections of steep grade. I use the God mode, but I usually end up messing it up and have to start all over again. I guess it's just skill.

just has to do with terraforming and skill... and a little bit of the slope mod which you can find in the mod sections of this wondifourous site

Slope mod is the easiest way to do it though.

Also, hole digging lots come to play as well to.

NAM + Slope mod + hole digging lots = realistic overpasses.

Get these components and you can make what you see in the pic!

Thanks guys! I guess I need to get that slope mod then.

I use BRF Slope Mod, and I smooth the slope with the rail tool to make a gradual grade.  It doesn't always slope perfectly but with a bit of practice you can get it almost every time.  If the rail tool just isn't getting it, sometimes the ground highway will.  If you still end up with a little wrinkle, zoom in to the closest zoom and do one or two clicks on the corners of the "pokey" grid square with the mayor mode leveler--that sometimes works.  It's a process...

I recommend you Ennedi's slope mod - I think it's the best. You can find it at the BSC LEX (you must register there) - here's a link.

EDIT: I see the link doesn't work so here is it (you'll have to mcopy it and put it in your browser) https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1512

Thanks everyone! I've installed the mod and it's working.

This may be redundant at this point, but I thought some viewers may want more details, so I created a tutorial.  I hope someone finds it useful.
