Idea for Mod

[GOLDfish.74 0]

I don't know anything about Modding SimCity 4 but I was thinking it would be nice if when making your transportation options sims should be able to walk across certain things. For instance empty land, parks and I think commercially zoned structures as well. There aren't many commercial buildings inside cities that you can't either walk through or walk around to get to your desired destination.

Could anyone tell me if this is possible to be arranged in a Mod or why it can't and any ideas on other things that pedistrians really should be able to walk through to make their commute quicker =)

Regards.

this is afaik only possible by making the respective lots transit enabled which would be a hell of a lot of work to do cuz you have to change every single lot.

what you can do to improve commute is to download the NAM and chose some of the more radical traffic simulation settings (or any other traffic simulation mod, but the NAM has some more benefits than just better traffic simulators).

If you've got the NAM, there should be a "Pedestrian Malls" icon in your Roads menu. These work like pedestrian streets. If you TAB through these, there should be a ped mall with grass texture (or at least a dirt path with grass around it). This puzzle piece can be used to create a route through e.g. a park for pedestrians to use.

Also, industrial and commercial adjacent to and facing the ped malls will develop. You will be able to create an entire downtown with no road traffic, only pedestrian streets - if you want to. See the NAM readme for more info.
