HOLY CRAP!!!  How did you get that first one?  @_@

[carson775 10]

it looks like Los Angeles Freeways at rush hour. lol.

I wish we could VISUALLY have traffic jams wherever we wanted, but the game would not recognize them.  The game would think traffic was flowing just fine while highways would be locked up in traffic.  I don't know, I guess I just like watching the cars move around.

I was playing around with different settings and zones. Basicly i edited one of the dat file to show the max amount of cars on one screen at a time and per sec. I set the max at 100,000 i think. Then I used traffic cop to lower the capacities Commute times don't go up because of the 10x speed.

So the traffic gives a more real feel at rush hour.

That last pic..only 113 or so cars are using the highway..lol
The bridge pic 10,000 eastbound and 4,000 west bound are using it.

I have cities near 1million

I have no mods

I have no major traffic probs?

Not a good thing to have this happen but it looks cool. I'd like to see it happen.https://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/11.gif>

Can you make a small dat file for those two items you changed? I would love to see alot more vehicles on all the roads. Of course thats why I like the game to see how many sims can I get mad? Plus I am going to start work on my new Seattle region and want to see if I can recreate the congestion and implement fixes.

give me a few minutes I'll tell you what i did and which mod file i used to edit.

[A Killer Ewok 2]

that would be a great idea, for visual effects. they're fun!

 

so far i haven't gotten traffic jams yet. i got an avenue with 9000 buses on it and capacity edited to 40000. i think there's my problem...

That would be awesome UF, did you save it though into another dat or modified the actual game date? If you saved it as a dat on its own, that would be a lot easier for me since I do not have all the editing stuff that DM made up and running yet.

The mods I use are Plugin_DM_TransitSupermod_TrafficSim_PathfindingPERFECT_Speedx10_HiCapacity_v2_0.dat for the speed and pathfinding and Plugin_DM_TransitSupermod_Automata_Crime10_v2_0.dat for the editing in datgen4

Using Plugin_DM_TransitSupermod_Automata_Crime10_v2_0.dat I changed the exemplars setting of
max vehicles per sec to 150000
max vehicles to 0x00030D40
Vehicle Lifespan Range to 0xFF,0xFF

Using traffic cop and loading Plugin_DM_TransitSupermod_TrafficSim_PathfindingPERFECT_Speedx10_HiCapacity_v2_0.dat
edit
Avenue to 1
Highway to 1
Gr highway to 1

It won't mess your commute times up because of the speed10x.

goodluck.

A special thanks goes out to all the people who made the plug-ins possible.

Thanks alot, now I have more of an excuse to get those programs running so I can change mine.

Looks like you got 4 billion dollars in the bank. Just curious, did you download the park that gives you all that money? I've read that it can really screw up your gameplay if you leave the park in the city for too long. Any truth to that?

[unusualfire 0]

yes I had a money tree. I deleted it after a month. No way I would leave it in there, because i've heard the same thing. Luckly the program never ever crashed on me.

I use windows 2000.

[simcityperron 2]

unusualfire, these are great pics!  I love em'!

[wolverine 12]

And I hope to get my bridges and freeways looking like them.

Is there a way to have proper traffic jams like this (increasing the number of cars available on the screen) without doing unrealistic things like increasing the capacities of the roads massively?

[Mistro 0]

Im kinda new at this modding stuff (finnaly dumped Sc Vanilla and got deluxe ) But i think you just need to change these settings

max vehicles per sec to 150000
max vehicles to 0x00030D40
Vehicle Lifespan Range to 0xFF,0xFF

Its just the max number of vehicles which can cross a tile per second
and then the number of max vehicles running around your city at one time?
and then the lifespan (so they don't fade away unless they get to their destination.)??

Just a wild guess ... someone help me out!

[sandyshorts 0]

Wow, thats insane. Whats the road rage value up to?

[TopSpeed 0]

WOW ....
so much cars..
so liitle road

[rjr1469 4]

That's traffic! Can anyone say, LA! https://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/3.gif>

[ed_diaz 10]

that is TOO FREAKING COOL!!!! MAN!! ..im definitely gonna do that! it makes it look so soooo much more REAL! especially the highways!

[hello_SC4 1]

Too bad you can't do that without editing the files. It would be really interesting then.

[uiop_17 16]

Please can someone make a dat file with these modifications and maybe put it in the modds section PLEASE I'm sure there are many like me who don't know how to do the changes but would pay to have those traffic scenes on our cities. thanks

[unusualfire 0]

I just did a little more testing and all that really need to be done is lower the capacities of the highway to 1 using traffic cop.

I did find a way to make rush hour happen through out the day like in LA.

use the setting commute clock and change the second set of numders to 1.00000000

Again you better have some type of 10x speed so your city will not be abandoned because of long commute times.

[DuskTrooper 314]

Ok, how come no one else has posted a pic?

[frogface 352]

looks cool!

but plz could you post the DAT files for the people who dont want to delve into the reader?

[+Guest]

I can't get this to work...I've done the same things, but for some reason it doesn't seem to recognise the lowered capacity of the freeways and avenues...https://community.simtropolis.com/assets/emoticons/7.gif>
