Finally free! Can't wait to see what you replace that default cloverleaf with now.

simfanheatermayor: I have downloaded one as per your reccomendation. I understand where the developers were going with that but yes I agree the purple hue doesnt really look the best ;P

kingofsimcity: Ya, my city looks very puny now compared to the entire space you have to build a city. That cloverleaf is one of the first things I plan to tackle.

Now that I'm free, I am starting to do prep work for city expansion. I also try new methods to tackle some traffic congestion and build a new highway bridge!

city89: Wow is all I can say too. So much to do, so much land to do it with.

I am finally getting ready to get rid of that stock cloverleaf interchange in this part. I also start redevelopment south of the river as well

Been a while since I posted anything, in a bit of a creative slump I guess. So much land I and I don't know what to do with it all lol!

 

Anyways, for now I have made a video showing a overview of the city. I did a drive through with the first person camera mod, so why not use the regular camera as well?

Great city. I love the planing and the way you designed the traffic. I can see you struggle a bit with the traffic.

Keep going as I love to go trough the CJ of the forum to inspire me hehe.

[kingofsimcity 5,739]

Nice overview! I'm surprised that you haven't gone all out with custom assets. Maybe it's time to go crazy with all the custom buildings and parks on the workshop.

Now what you did with the music and the video... pure awesomeness! :thumb:

Watching Haljackey mess around with interchanges made me want to share a few of mine.

Sansha: Thanks! Ya traffic is a bit of a stuggle with this dense city but I am tackling it!

kingofsimcity: There's so much out there I don't know where to look. If you have suggestions, please let me know!

cromabianca: Red Alert is my favorite RTS. Starcraft II is a close second.

bagnome: That looks fantastic! Are you trying to 1 up me? lol

Have you ever tried using the Some Roads mod? One of the new road types in that mod is a two-lane highway. I think it would look good in your interchanges.

There's a mod for darker roads? Where can I get that? Thanks in advance...

Ln X: I have tried it yes, but it's not really what I'm looking for. In time I am sure there will be some really cool road mods out there to take realism to the next level!

 

SAGG: Yep. This is it: http://steamcommunity.com//sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=417585852

Today I finish up with the new cloverstack replacement for that old default cloverleaf. The Fine Road Heights mod is now compatible with the latest version of the game so I tinker about, improving the design.

Well done interchange. I'm surprised how symmetrical it is.

[SAGG 4]

They look great, but man, they take up so much space. I'd like to think space is critical for development of zones...

[Haljackey 17,302]

It's been a month since I've updated this... Just wanted to say that this is not dead. RL has been getting to me, and its been difficult to find time where I can play a game uninterrupted for an hour or so to make these parts. Gotta be in the right mood too.

 

Hopefully I will be able to update it soon!

@Haljackey, who's RL (can't figure it out for now ). I hope you come back after that long break...

[Abrams 1,744]

...and it's about time, my friend.  This game was made for you, Ryan.  If you haven't checked out some of the freeway/road oriented mods, you need to do that.

A return!?!?!?!

Good to see you back at it!

I love how this looks exactly as I'd expect a Haljackey city to look, even in a completely different game  . Keep it up, sir!
