Highway asphalt restyling mod?

I have seen many videos and images of highways that have the dark color of the asphalt rather than the default grey one.

Where can I find this mod? I have tested some similar mods but they don't work both for ground and elevated highways, or

they don't work at all at certain intersectons. Any help?

    Maybe you haven't installed it into the right folder. It should be loaded after the NAM.

    I don't know what you precisely mean. If you mean that the models don't work for EMHW or all MHW interchanges; well, there are simply not ready yet. As far as the textures themselves go, they should work on every piece, except the Y-stack.

    you mean that i have to put the files into the NAM directory? What i mean is that the only things that are restyled are the ground highway and it's ramps. All the elevated highway, including the elevated ramps (partially) and all the elevated intersections remain default grey-colored.

    No, certainly not. It should be places in another folder. The name of that folder should begin with "z_", so it will load after the NAM (the game loads every folder in alphabetical order)

    Thank you mrtnrln! The mod is working perfectly now. I have actually added the mod with an installer, so the mod was accidentally saved to "my files" instead of the plugin file on "program files". Thanks again! 44.gif

    I had uninstalled these textures for the SC4 Stock highway (the darker ones) after some texture eye sores that came up on newer NAM interchanges. I am not aware of any fixes for that, so be aware if you want to try out the darker textures.

    Where do you install the files? The simcity4 plugins in My Documents or the one in the plugins Simcity4 Plugins folder in the Hd?

    They can go in the My Documents plugins. Just make sure that the folder containing the mod files loads after NAM. As mentioned above, just put a "Z" in front of the name. Folders in the plugins basically load in alphabetical order.

    Do you have the mod files in a seperate folder from the NAM folder? For example: a folder with the name "zHRS" If you just place the mod file in the main Plugin folder, it will load before NAM.
