p.s no much time to retain all slop with beautiful wall...... require attentions detail.... hm.... tq btw

Thanks for the link! Yea they are very time consuming but it looks great in the end.

Also, I'm just curious, where do the underground avenues in the last picture lead to?

the UG avenues will connect the sims to city center and spread-out to busies downtown areas. Here the pic...

Those tunnel inclines look kinda steep, what I would do is use the NAM ramp to get the heavy rail down to tunnel level.

I had more here........

This Passenger Train Station is connected from Pic no.2 Passenger Train Station downtown.

From city center to Airport SubTrain Station with UG Avenue and Highway enabled.

This is another city center from another city, 2 underground highways, 1 UG avenue and passenger train station are enabled. ( This city is still under develop and that is unfinished airport project.

Damn, maybe I should dig out the photos for my old Crossrail project....

Or my Thameslink one...

Good! Your project may gives us more impressions & inspirations

You want some underground/sunken network? why not take it at face value? here you go:

what about the network you ask? scusi.

sunken, like I said already.

I ran into some terrain problems leading a highway under my airport and immediately thereafter to the north so I can reach the airport's terminal area.

What made it even worse was the residential development and the higher ground. what I came up with was a sunken highway curve area which tore thru the residentials.

Didn't liked it either so I tried to create the illusion of a single but curved highway tunnel. And thanks to diggy's ponds which offer 2 tiles of overhanging water (you know how hard it is to find something ground covering with more than 1 overhanging tile?) I was able to transfer the area into an artifical water reservoir perfectly hiding the highway below.

A neat way of getting round the straight orthogonal tunnel limitation, GMT. I had never thought of going "underwater" using overhanging pieces. Quite a bit of work, but worth it.

[GMT 389]

harder than actually building it was the fact that you gotta cover a total of 4 tiles width thanks to the highway and adjecent slopes, since most if the available (and for the purpose usefull) parts, like I mentioned already, only have 1 overhanging tile and at least 2 are needed. I have a vaste database of landscaping puzzle pieced plugins and diggy's ponds where the only that offered these. all others are mainly limited to underbridge scenery like retaining walls which obviously won't work here.

It would have worked with some plaza stuff but it would have looked out of place in this particular area. anyways I am quite happy with the result.

I got a little inventive here:

Sure, it just looks like a set of sunken networks and highways leading nowhere, but they are all interconnected with subway to form underground interchanges. Yes, they are functional! See more in myrecent update: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/topic/43840-robenia/page__pid__1168016#entry1168016
