RHW region view mod NAM file name?

As per title. Ever since I have updated my NAM with the latest version my region transit view has started to show black lines along every single transportation mode of at or above ground, which I believe to be associated with RHW as per the NAM FAQ because normally they do not appear on the transit region view map.

 

I am wondering what may be causing the game to show these lines? I believe I have downloaded a standalone version of this region view mod before (and as I did not like it then as I do not like it now I deleted it) but I am unable to find out what may be causing this right now. I can only think of the NAM (even though I remember something about an option to disable this mod which I remember clicking but I am not sure).

 

I hate these black lines (especially since I have a ton of railways and it completely messes them up in region view). As such, would anyone know the precise name of this mod contained in the NAM it so I can find it and delete it for good?

 

Interestingly after saving a city the latter would not necessarily convert to the new layout with black lines all over every single road way but only now and then (like 50% of the time after saving and getting out).

 

Thanks in advance for any help and for the amazing mods developed over the years.

Welcome to Simtropolis.

 

It's not recommend to manually delete a file from your NAM folder if you don't want it; the NAM Installer will actually reinstall it every time you run it. The installer is far more advanced than it's been in the past, and it remembers the exact files that you selected in the installer; removing any of them will tell the installer to reinstall them whenever you run the installer again, even an installer for a newer version of the NAM.

 

You have to re-run the NAM Installer and deselect the RHW Regional Transportation Map (under Additional Features and Customisations > Real Highway Options) so that the NAM installer won't forcefully reinstall it each time.

This happens if you do not open up a data view while you're in a city. To avoid having this happen with your regional view, open up a data view (e.g. the traffic congestion data view) before saving the city.

    I have been saving a few cities following this tip either going to the data view first or not and this has worked wonderfully in all of them.

     

    Would explain too why the cities would change to the bugged layout only at times and vice versa.

     

    Thanks again for the help!

    That made me realize I have probably never opened and saved a city without opening at least one data view. Ever.
