you could try dragging the highways over one another... i'm pretty sure that it will ask if you would like to place the cloverleaf. Then again i havent used a maxis highway in AGES with the release of the Rural highway Mod like 2 years ago :-P

It would be better to use an avenue bridge because that way you don't have to have a space between the two roadways

@z1 I thought you were! Usually the NAM team have something in there signature... all i can say is good luck with the addon! (if it is decided to be developed)

Z1 has the most likely solution to the problem, I am still hearing talk about modifying the .exe file which is HIGHLY difficult and not to mention HIGHLY illegal... so even if you did manage to do it you would never be able to distribute it. This should not be forgotten though, it may be worth mentioning to the SimMars team and the NAM team and see what they can come up with.

If you have a problem, we may be able to help more if you include a screen shot. Could you take one?

I am suprised most people don't know anout that fountain thing... i forget where i heard it though. It might have been somewhere on SC4Devotion

If you wish to place a filter in the centre of a NAM avenue roundabout, all you need to do is demolish a 2x2 section of grass in the centre of the roundabout and then plop the filter in place... For 1-way road roundabouts if you just draw the 3x3 roundabout: R= road E= empty square RRR RER RRR However if you then plop ONE piece of OWR in the centre (that should be empty) then you get a lovely little fountain that appears... just an alternative to other filters, and a little easier too.

If you look at another game that i use Trainz ... this has a full 3D environment, the system it works on is very simple... There is a central database that contains all of the content (called assets). This database is fully open to the user and you can modify the config of any asset freely. To add something new (there is a massive download center called the "download station" much like the STEX but is not 3rd party) all you have to do is either click the download link in your browser which will open the database (which has an inbuilt download manager) or you can use the built in download manager directly. This kind of system would be ideal for something like "SC5" as it would most likely involve a lot of custom content.

You could use traffic control lots to help... Linky That way you can make "bus lanes". Hope this helps :-D

When trying to open the game i am faced with the message Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\ SimCity 4.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then type again. When i click ok another error message says "Error starting calc!" Have i done something wrong in the installation??

interesting ;-) I wish they set transit fares to 0 where i live :-P

I am not sure on which one is the best but, you say that your redownloading... i would urge you to make sure that you have all of the content that you have in the existing cities (if you have decided to keep them). Otherwise it may result in problems in your existing cities. Good luck with your problem!!

You could place mass transit between the industrial and residential zones, and then add toll booths on all of the connecting roads... that way everyone pays up on the way to and from work! MUHAHAHAHAHA!!

Hay, I am aware that the size of the plugins folder greatly effects loading times, but my loading times are around 10 mins, however my plugins folder is only 2.02GB. Comp Specs: AMD Athlon 64 Duel Core Processor 6000+ 3.00 GHz 1.50 GB of RAM ATI HD 4350 Graphics Card Is there any reason for loading times to be so slow? Is there any way to make it faster? P.S I remember seeing something about duel processors effecting the game somehow... could something be done there? Thanks in advance BigThing (Matty)

Lol, i havent been on the site for 2 days and my threads got quite long :-P Sooooo, list of things to do: 1. Defrag (lots) NOT DONE YET 2. Assign SC4 one core NOT DONE YET 3.Get more RAM (@ A Nonny Moose I did have 2GB but one of the sticks were faulty and causing system crashes, replaced with a smaller one) NOT DONE YET (expensive :-P) 4.Remove unnecessary files (Pictures, .txt e.t.c) IN PROGRESS 5.SC4 DatPacker? (could i have directions to a tutorial?) (@A Nonny Moose, i don't use the lot editor) NOT DONE YET 6. (this is one of my own) Get a full version of win7 (i'm still on the demo :/) NOT DONE YET I have a lot of work to do now :-P Is there anything else?

Thanks, i will do that later :-D Will post the results (fingers crossed!)

Just had an idea for thos overhanging lots... they should convert the traffic into subway traffic, and so you can then have one on each side of the bridge and drag the rail in-between!
