NWM Bug... Are My Sims Dumb?

[Bistro187 0]

First off let me start by saying I appreciate everyone's hard work in making this game even more enjoyable & playable than the original hum-drum version! You guys are awesome with the different styles of buildings & textures & etc.

 

I've had NAM for a while & decided I would play around with the Network Widening Mod pieces for a while. Well, I put in the TLA-7 avenue down & let the game do its thing (the triple tile piece). Everything works fine, Its just I constantly keep hearing crashes & keep seeing pile-ups on that one little stretch of avenue. Is it just me having this problem? Should I just accept my sims are complete idiots? or is there some way for them not to go all "demolition derby" on me?

 

Thanks in advance for the help/tips!

Try a road intersection with some traffic lights.

Could it be that the affected stretch of avenue is just very heavily used?

Thats the thing, it happens right at the intersection... & the traffic lights are there. I give them alternate ways to get on & off that stretch of avenue. I tried avoiding having intersections close together, I even have elevated rail & subway running throughout the city & enabled the commuter shuttle ordinance. It maybe just overuse because it doesn't really start until I hit 150,000 sims & up

It could be that the road is being overused, when the road is overused the game usually starts events such as accidents, the only way to fix it is by either, making the road planning more efficient, tuning NWM to ultra settings, or adding another TLA-7 or MAVE. BTW, 1500000 sims is the maximum limit for a TLA I think, none other than the RHW 10 can handle such volume of sims before a point. So its time to replan the intersections.
