Help The NAM is destroying my City!

[Xyloxadoria 1,099]

I need some help. This happened a long time ago when i first installed the RHW, and now its happening again. I installed Project Symphony, and the Original Maxis Highway components, and their NAM counterparts have started an uprising. They are angry about being replaced by RHW, and are now destorying my city. What do i do to stop this? 

[zimmie 521]

I hate it when that happens.

[KonstantinII 1,106]

Weirdest glitch I ever seen

[jaredh 195]

Don't use Symphony.   The Mozart and Beethoven really irritate the flying intersections....

[Lost Realist 762]

Did you check that you have all the required dependencies? Sentinent traffic networks revolting and the mass enslavement of humanity, bringing an age of doom and sheer darkness upon the world as a whole are usually a sign of a missing texture pack or some plugin conflicts.

[Ro-Bo 183]

Running SC4 on a newer system might have cause the this NAM component gains consciousness. Sims however to dumb to deal with this problem themselves. It might takes several decades for their intelligent to rise to that level.

 

By the way, where is Dr Vu?

[GeometryMath Algebra 614]

URGENT: DO NOT INSTALL RHW AND PROJECT SYMPHONY ON A SUPERCOMPUTER! OR ELSE, THE MAXIS HIGHWAY-REALHIGHWAY WAR WILL OCURR AND WREAK HAVOC ON YOUR CITY.

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

I didn't know that the NAM team had entered the animated disaster business.  Howsomever, I should think that a judicious selection of options in the installer will disable this monster.  Sliding over into the higher light-speed dimensions like that should not occur unless you run too long in Cheetah speed.  Care must be exercised when approaching the 9th dimension barrier depending on your delta-c.

[NielsC007 499]

It's a trap!

[GeometryMath Algebra 614]

The Flying MHW Stack Fighter 666, brought to you by Dr. Vu Evil Inc. Bwahahahaha!

[MandelSoft 2,769]

I knew Dr. Vu was up to something big...

[Mr. Nestlé 19]

Does this mean that the concept of roads is actually based on aliens which visited our planet long ago? Or are all roads actually aliens merely waiting to be able to destroy us? Would this also mean that civil engineering companies are controlled by those road aliens? Then what does actually flow in those pipes under the roads? Some kind of nutritious liquid? Or are they sentient machines? Or do they feed on electricity and water? Is it their ultimate goal to cover every single spot on Earth in roads? What about rails? Is all infrastructure evil, or is it just the highways or just the intersections? Does their power increase with the number of connected roads?

 

So many questions...

 

Oh, and I just had to make this...

 

 

OK, you can't see it very well, but I managed to cut out most of the background.

[Indiana Joe 1,750]

Did you try turning the NAM off and on again?

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Pray, where is the switch controlling the NAM's on/off status?

[SimCoug 5,972]

So much maxis building repetition in that pic...  Perhaps your sentient traffic network is doing you a favor.

[glad2meecha 26]

Cause it's a bittersweet Symphony, this NAM
Try to make the ends meet
Try to find the right puzzle piece, then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the highways meet yeah....

 

Interchange, I can change

I can make turning lanes,

But I'm here in my game,

And nothing's the same.

I can make a million different switches

From one day to the next.

I can change my interchange,

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Maxis Highway is son of the Simcity 2000's monster, MWH has born before SC2000 monster die by a tank. MHW was trying to take a normal life of a network, and everything was fine, he was working with you old friend "Rural Highway", "Real Highway" is the son of "Rural Highway", "Real highway" is married with "MHW daughter".

 

Rural Highway and MHW worked fine together on simcity 4. But the evil, jealous and greedy Rural Highway was wanting more, he was plotting a plan, together with you son "Real Highway" and your friend "Network Widening" to sabotage your old friend Maxis Highway. And then, they formed an alliance called NAM.

When MHW discovered this plan, he quicly started changing your own textures, but it was too late, the Rural Highway has taken MHW's place, and every city, and every village started to change MHW for Rural Highway Mod. But something was going wrong to Rural Highway, sinkholes and CTDs started to mess with NAM Forces.

 

 

MHW started a War against NAM Forces using your weapon against Rural Highway Mod and NWM, your flexible intersections that can shoot lightning bolts, and they fought by years. The NAM's soldiers started a uprising against him because Rural Highway Mod wasn't flexible enough and hard to use and they betrayed him, revealing to MHW what is the RHW weakness, the CTDs... Then MHW started to use CTDinator 4000. This weapon is very powerful against NAM components and it has weakned the NAM leader Rural Highway, giving his place to his son, Real Highway Mod, and died.

The NAM forces morale were lowered by the lost of Rural Highway, but Real Highway is as powerful as your deceased father was one day, even with less soldiers.

 

RHW (his nickname) started to simulate a strategy with NAM team, making curvy interchanges around MHW monsters interchanges and destroying them and making some ugly new textures to sabotage MHW (this is the MHW only update lol). The action was sucessful, but NAM was still suffering great loses for MHW because CTDinator 4000 has killed your leader and MHW has launched CTDs and sinkholes to destroy all NAM intersections, but RHW is more resilient than your old and deceased father.

RHW and MHW's daughter had a son called Project Symphony (or RHW Jr.), who wants to take MHW place on Simcity 4 because Project Symphony is a young networking mod who is almost flexible, but weakened and limited like your mother and realistic like your father.

 

Project Symphony choose to fight alongside NAM forces and he is known as "Secret Weapon" against MHW Forces and he's now gathering a lot of soldiers to fight for NAM Forces in this bloody battle against MHW.

 

MHW still have very much forces under his command and he's using your compact monster interchanges to destroy any city that is using RHW instead of MHW and sabotaging RHW interchanges using bombs to make sinkholes. That's why this monster interchange is attacking your city. And the bloddy War between MHW and NAM Forces continues...

 

End '-'

[wasso38 10]

whoa. NAM is not a disaster. it might be on the Maxis Highway Override. or in the RealHighway. try removing the NAM in your computer. and install it again. and what will happens...

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Not necessary to remove the NAM, just run the installer.  It will clean up anything you drop and add in new stuff quite happily.  It is the master and has no ronin but only faithful retainers.

Rather coincidentally, I've done a lot of my NAM development work while listening to The Verve.  A Storm in Heaven, especially (which is one of my all-time favorite albums).
