Having to place parks next to roads

[larry459714 0]

Hey everyone,

 

 

Does anyone else think it is ridiculous that everything has to be placed next to a road? In order to place parks to raise land value you have to place a park next to a road that will take you valuable commercial or residential space.

SimCity4 this was not the case, why the change I wonder.

Hopefully someone can come up with a solution to this.

The reason for making the parks need to be placed next to a road is because all parks for some odd reason must be able to be visited. In order for any sim to get anywhere, it must be connected to a road. I wish there were free-form zone parks that can be flood filled that raise land value and lower pollution (a tiny amount) without providing spots for visitors (sort of like CXL park zones).

Yeah I get the whole thing about the parks needing to be visited. Just was hoping, like you mentioned, a free form placement like in sim4. In Sim4 it seemed to work by randomly placing parks wherever without having to take up a zone spot. Ideally I would like to be able to place a park in the middle of a zone not to the side of one.

The gameplay is heavily tied to its Agent system of game mechanic. That's why everything has to be connected to the road for them to work :/

I think the mod can be useful.
