Thanks! I'm glad you like the Route mod. I've read here that it's incompatible with most people's systems. I'm glad it works for you. If you're into modding, feel free to mess around with it and re-upload it with improvements!

WOW! That thing is tall!! Usually sirens like that are mounted on standard "telephone poles." Also, the color is a little imposing. I lived in Kansas for 17 years, and all the sirens I saw were yellow--and waaaaay smaller. I you only need one of those for an entire region! :) Good idea, though. I would like to see the "next generation" of this lot.

That's cool. I had no idea! Ahh. Snow

I agree about the steep streets. It's best to leave yourself lots of room for switchbacks when placing roads on mountains and hillsides. However, in some real life cases, roads are just plain steep--too steep--anyway. Take a look at a street view of Astoria, Oregon on Google earth.

This is a mod which allows sims to ride the bus directly to work. With this mod, sims no longer need to ride past their destination to the bus stop. They still have to board the bus at designated stops, but they can get off anywhere along the route. This is how many municipalities operate bus service in more rural areas with fewer designated stops. According to the route query tool, it appears that for evening commutes, some sims will board the bus at nearby stops, while other sims board the bus right at their workplace. The bus takes them straight to their home, or to a bus stop at the terminal of another transit type. (Such as GLR or Elevated train stations.) This can dramatically increase the effectiveness of bus service, while reducing the number of required stops in commercial and industrial areas. It also reduces commute time, which is the leading cause of abandonment in my cities. -
Are you sure these aren't Thomas buses? I've never seen an AmTran with the shallow angle on the rear wall. That's a Thomas signature design feature. Every AmTran I've seen has a full vertical rear wall. No matter, This is indeed an incredible improvement to the original bus. I LOVE IT! (Can you tell I'm also a bus driver?? Lol)

I finally got one! I'm so excited! Thank you for making it so very very very easy! :-)

EXTREMELY slow download rates

Wow! That's very slow! I have had similar problems, but it's not that bad... I think it's definitely something on the STEX server's end of things. I'm sure if Dirk is aware of this, he's on it. If not, maybe someone should pass the word along?? -
I strongly disagree, Sim-fan. I think the President hit all his nails on their heads. Much like the Trans-Continental Railroad in the late 1800s, the High Speed Rail expansion he proposes will serve to improve our nations transportation infrastructure at an exponential rate! Also, the plan clearly decreases our nation's dependence on automobiles and planes for long distance--and relatively shorter distance--travel. If you can show how this would significant;y damage the shipping and transportation industries in the long run, I might consider your point of view, but at this point, I can only respectfully disagree.

Everything in the bible is open to interpretation. Your church interprets something one way, his church interprets it another way, and her church interprets it differently still. Because of this, very few groups see eye to eye on this. I think it's really a matter of personal opinion amongst higher-ups in both church and government. As far as I can see, none of them have addressed this issue from a relevant perspective. In MY personal opinion, this is a simple human rights issue. I don't see the harm in giving people--who care about each other and live together--the right to "get married." It doesn't have any effect on the sanctity of my marriage... And don't tell me it does, because it doesn't. My wife and I are the only ones who have influence on the sanctity of our marriage. Unfortunately, there are plenty of people and churches that preach otherwise, and they won't simply be silenced by Iowa's kind gesture this week. It's going to take a lot of patience and determination to win this civil rights battle.
