I like how you deal with diagonal streets, roads or avenues. It is very interesting how you apply slopes in brigdes or overpasses to get a very realistic effect. And finally, as a lerner there's another lesson I've learned from you and it's so is simple: using only a few elements (a street, some homes, maybe a highway, trees and parks) and put them all at their right places you get a functional and a very realistic town... Congratulations. And thanks for sharing your city with us.

    Nope, I don't have any ideas - it is already stunning! The only slight thing I would say is that the dam texture and retaining wall textures should maybe be different, but they don't have to be.

    Fantastic work, I think this is my favourite update yet! :D

    That dam is inspired. Great job! How do you make the ramps to the freeway...I've been using the Avenue and Road over freeway bridge puzzle pieces but I can't have the one way roads intersect only the second tile away from the freeway. I seem to remember being able to this this, but now I am having NO luck...and the T-intersection on slope piece seems to be just that...a T-intersection....I am confused...losing my memory and skill!

    I've been asked how I build highway interchanges, so here is a little tutorial on one type I use. Hope this helps.

    To build this interchange you will need the NAM and a slope mod. I use BRF_TunnelAndSlopeMod-bJERONI.

    Nice tutorial...obviously I knew how to do that myself :P...I just seemed to forget that I could actually pull the avenue through that T-intersection on slope piece, I will have to try again today. If it doesn't work, I'll let you know.
