NAM issues

[olegario39 52]

ok so I reinstalled my NAM and chose custom installation to install features I might have missed. and...I got this...

1) the rail textures remain unchanged despite having the SFBT texture installed. and therefore, that ugly dirt texture is still there even on adjacent high density commercial zones and i hate it.

2) the RHW has completely overriden the Maxis highway and when I try to build a cloverleaf, the Maxis cloverleaf appears instead. and honestly I hate the override.

Did I do something wrong? If so, how can I fix this, and what are the individual files, so I can delete them, instead of reinstalling the NAM all over again?

Hello Olegario39

I take it that you want the Maxis Highway Override removed and the Dirt away from the Rail network.

To get rid of the Maxis Highway Override, delete the Maxis Highway Override  folder in the z__NAM folder. The MHO is the RHW type network for the Ground and Elevated Maxis Highway. That should remove your problem there.

To get rid of the brown dirt on your railways you need this package.

That is if you intend on using Maxis Rail. Very distinct from the RRW! You need to specify the options in the installer. There is an option there to make the dirt transparent, aka no dirt on the railways!

The Dirt issue is only addressed with Rivit's wizardry. All NAM packages will have the dirt issue so you need this download to fix it.

Also a point of clarification--the RHW does not override the Maxis Highways.  It's a completely separate system.  The Maxis Highway Override, as @Eggman121 pointed out above, changes the Maxis Highways to the RHW-like appearance shown in your screenshot.

fixed the issue. thanks

and I have yet another issue. I have that Moonlight El-Rail texture installed because I love the concrete texture underneath and not that boring plain grass texture that came with Maxis, and I encountered THIS.

I tried building this overhanging El-Rail station that I believe came with the NAM. and when I try to cross the el-rail line over the station, it says "unsuitable area for construction" or something...has anyone experienced this issue?

You've a lot of connections in a small area, if the land where the station, El-Rail and Avenues meet is not perfectly flat, likely you will encounter problems. I'd remove the el-rail, place stubs around the area to flatten everything. Then you should be able to build this.
