Getting more Traffic

[bluemoose 223]

Hello Everyone!

I'd just like to discuss options for making it look like there is traffic on unused highways. For instance, I have some RHW running through my city that noone uses for some reason. I have some traffic generator lots, but there is no room, and where there is, there is just a little explosion of traffic that only travels for a few tiles in every direction. I'm wondering if there is a way to better simulate traffic on the highways, like improving automata persistance.

Thanks!

Have you plopped the RHW Neighbor Connector?

There's some automata controller mods on the STEX if you search deep enough. They do things like increase traffic and make it more persistent (less disappearing cars)

I'd make sure the highway connects to two different map edges. Logically this would make sense as to why there would be a subsequent increase in traffic, but I haven't tested it.

you can reinstall NAM and chooese 24hour traffic

You could try the Be sure to check the installation instructions.

Thanks everyone! I'll try plopping the connectors to see if that helps. I've tried the persistant automata mod, and it takes away nearly all the traffic, even with the hi version installed, and I followed all the instructions as I understand them.

I have made a city that it great, but none of my sims have used the highway, making commute time huge and not exporting enough industrial goods, but the trade system is not that bad.

Cut off any alternate routes to force the highway to be used. This means that there should be no local connections except the highway to where you want your Sims to go. Trade isn't really part of the game (Rush Hour), but more like noise to clutter up the network. Dump your freight at the nearest port or edge.
