Hirachis Realistic School Mod.

[Hirachi_Dinavo 0]

I have developed my first mod! Here is what it does:

 

Triples the radii of:

-Elementary School
-Large Elementary School
-High School
-Large High School
-Public Library
-All 3 Private Schools

Reduces Bus Costs of:

-Elementary School - now $10
-Large Elementary School - now $50
-High School - now $10
-Large High School- now $50

Increases Capacity of

-All 3 Private Schools - to 10,000

The reason for these changes is to make the schools in SC4 more realistic.
In real life, buses for a school will travel much farther than about 4

blocks.Also, the costs of the buses have been changed because they

frequently are more than the school maintainance (in normal SC4). The

capacities of the private schools have been changed so that they will not

fill up with the increased radii and lower the grade of education in the

city.

 

The mod is in the attached folder. If you would like to test this mod, download it, unzip it, and read the readme.

 

This mod requires Rush Hour.

 

If you have comments/questions/problems about this mod, post on this thread.

Cool, I dowloaded it. Now I will see how it works. This seems like a pretty big mod for your first one

[Ron Swanson 1]

Great! Sounds useful, and your right, it would be much more realistic, I'll consider downloading it...good job!

Good Mod!!!!!

Nice mod, the radius for these buildings has always been extremely unrealistic.  At least this mod helps that problem a little bit.

Yes, i have been getting timout errors whenever i try to post.

[Smurfer2 7]

Before I download this, does this increase the capacity of the schools?

 

P.S. Don't bump the table to much.

Smurfer-It increases capacity of private schools to 10,000. i can make a hi capacity version for the other schools if you want.

[Smurfer2 7]

Sure, I just want higher capacity large  elementary and large high school. Just add 1000 students to both. Thanks HD.

[Yugioh 3]

i like this idea of a School_Mod a very lot

[davidhogan 1]

do i need to replace all my existing schools and hospitals?  my funding keeps dropping to $6, and i can't get it to stay over that.  (my budget's fine, but my ambulances and schools both get wrecked.)

Smurfer, the new mod is attached. Only the capacities have been increased. if you want cost increased as well, tell me.

 

DavidHoagan- Is this a problem with my mod, or is this in a normal game,? Also, do you have the radical ordinance, because i hear it makes your funding slide like that.

I will conferm for you, that the radical ordinance mod DOES make the funding sliders go down. I have checked (remove/putback) and I can conferm it. Iam definately going to download this. OPut it into the Mods section, though.

[Ajack 0]

Great mod. Any chance of a similar mod for police/fire/hospitals?

[Hirachi_Dinavo 0]

Welcome to Simtropolis, Ajack!

 

Well, thanks for conferming that Vid. The bus radius is large enough though that even with $6 bus funding, it will still be a large radius.

 

I need people to test this before i submitt it to the Mods section. It will probably be a civic service mod and will include separate mods for increased radii of schools, hospitals, fire, and police. I will add the others when i have time (Friday).

[Smurfer2 7]

This is my fault HD. Yes, I wan't the cost vs. student ratio kept intact. Can you mod that slightly. Could I use that mod and the one you posted at the top or would the mod your making me already include the changes that the mod made at the top?

[Hirachi_Dinavo 0]

The one i am including WILL include the changes i already mentioned. Hold on as i mod the settings.

Grat Work! This will be really helpful in my high-density areas. Looking forward to future versions and mods.
