I think the second reflection is a bit too much and diminishes the smoothness and beauty of the fa

Great to see this one is coming to SC4, the shape looks spot on to me. How much nagging does it require to get the Red Apple?

Read through all your updates today. You've certainly succeeded in catching that booming arabian emirate atmosphere, good job! I used the Rabinowitz Appartments as pitbuildings, they're a bit small (1x1), but they look better than the other lots I tried.

I hope that one day purpose built racetrack facilities are BATed though..

Using that mod, I noticed the sims living in the plopped residentials don't commute. Yet the commercial buildings are all (fully) staffed and schools and hospitals are being used as well. Do you know more about this Gizmo? Nice update btw!

Thanks for the tips, McDuell. I actually started using a slope mod a couple of days ago, so my tunnels and ramps look much better indeed. I tried it before, in a hilly region, and the smoothing of slopes were really a nuisance when creating roads and rails over the hills. I wasn't aware that the splitter was for RHW-2 only, I'll bear it mind for future interchanges. Your work is stunning from an engineering POV. Though they are too massive to be convenient in a (sub)urban area. Nice work with the Y-stacks and maxis highways.

Here are two more interchanges from me, enjoy! (I'll make sure they're .jpg next time)

You need to have the Network Add-on Mod (which can be found here on the STEX, the downloads area) and the Rural Highway mod. The latter is locked currently because there is a newer version coming up. I'm sure someone can get you the current version though if you're very eager to get it. The Hole Digging lots are very useful as well (they're on the STEX). Take your time to read the readme files, so you know how to use these mods and start experimenting! That's the way to learn.

I use these crosswalk lots: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=3871 and this mod so it uses the Euro Road textures: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=16342 I hope this is what you're looking for.

Here's one of my interchanges in a suburban area. I've smoothed the MIS roads by now as I gain more experience with the RHW each time I use it.

Nice work Gizmo! Definitely catches the essence of the Dutch urban building style. 'Boerendrecht' sounds oddly familiar though;-) I wonder whether IKEA is going to take up some space along the motorway there.
