APTX

Tokyo Station is a large, multi-modal transportation hub intended for use in dense cities with a highly developed transit system. This station is intended to serve as the focal point of your network, allowing sims to easily transfer from one mode of transportation to another all within the same station. This gem of a station was originally created by APTX. With the demise of his site, many people have been left in the dark as to where to go to download his creations. Like the NAM-compatible Bullet Train Mod (BTM) and bullet train skins I have uploaded from APTX in the past, good faith is assumed. Credit should be given to APTX for creating this station. I am merely uploading it to the STEX for all to enjoy, with the permission of APTX and the Simtropolis staff. Anyways... onto the station: From front to back, the first 3 tracks serve elevated rail lines. The back two lines serve bullet train (monorail conversion). In the subway view (underground) there is a 1x1 tile near the centre of the station that is concrete. Run a subway line through it to connect it to your subway network. Tokyo Station was built in 1914 and has been reconstructed many times. Its most major rebuilds took place after World War Two, in the 1960’s for bullet train compatibility, and most recently in 2011 for expansion. It serves as the main transport hub for Tokyo, Japan.

Thanks and enjoy! -Haljackey ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Station specs: Lot Size: 19x13 Plop Cost: $35000 Monthly Cost: $1722 Bulldoze Cost: $28730 Power Consumption: 35 Water Consumption: 137 Passenger Capacity: 560000 (from Ver2.0) Jobs: 425 Multipurpose Monorail/HSR and El-Light Rail station, with bus and subway station. If you are using the Submenu DLL, the station will show up in the Transportation/Misc-Transit/Multi-Modal Stations Submenu, without the DLL you will find it somewhere in the Rail menu. List of Items: * aptx_prop_pack_tokyo_station.dat (included) – originally the included models and props were on loose, and contained one inproper model file as well. I datpacked them and provided a cleanitol to help removing those. * TTRL_Utils19x10_TokyoCentralStationVer1.15_f24cbb26.SC4Lot PLOP_19x13_TTRL_TokyoCentralStationVer2.0.SC4Lot – it also contains the custom UI/query data * z__aptx_tokyo_station_RHD paths.dat – by default it comes with the RHD path file, but one can find the LHD paths (z__aptx_tokyo_station_LHD paths.dat) in the ~Documents folder. If you are using LHD set-up, simply replace the RHD path file with the LHD one. Dependencies: None, but I highly suggest you have at least the recommended downloads Alternatively if you already have the SC4D LEX Legacy - APTX Dependencies Pack V1 installed the APTX Mega Prop Pack05.dat already contains the models and props which come with this upload. Recommended Downloads: Bullet Tran Mod (BTM) version 1 or version 2, Network Addon Mod (NAM) (this still contains the main HSR mod, which is also compatible with the station, although since NAM v37 and above, the NAM doesn’t contain the ML Shinkansen (BTM) mod anymore. A „final” legacy version will be uploaded probably at a later time). Suggested Downloads: a Bullet Train skin for your monorail cars (You can find some among APTX uploads on the STEX or the VDK HSR and Bullet Train Skins over at SC4Evermore and many others) You can also use the HSR mod in place of the BTM. You can also use monorail, although that will look a little wonky Installation: Copy the "APTX" folder from the zip (or unzip it) into your plugin folder. The station will be installed by default with the z__aptx_tokyo_station_RHD paths.dat, but in the ~Documents folder you can find the z__aptx_tokyo_station_LHD paths.dat if you are using LHD set-ups. - Tyberius06

Shibuya Station is a elevated rail / subway station aimed at moving high volumes of sims on and off your rapid transit system. -There are two separate lots for this station: Shibuya East And Shibuya West. Both are available in this download, in separate ZIP folders. This gem of a station was originally created by APTX. With the demise of his site, many people have been left in the dark as to where to go to download his creations. With the help of DragonAnime, this station is now available for download on the STEX! Like the NAM-compatible Bullet Train Mod (BTM) and bullet train skins I have uploaded from APTX in the past, good faith is assumed. Credit should be given to APTX for creating this station. I am merely uploading it to the STEX for all to enjoy, with the permission of APTX and the Simtropolis staff. Dependencies: None Recommended Downloads: Both stations downloaded, Network Addon Mod (NAM) Station specs: Shibuya East Capacity: 15,000 Networks served: elevated rail Cost: $10,000 Demolition cost: $3,500 Monthly cost: $100 -There are 3 elevated rail lines included with this station. Ensure you drag 2 parallel and one perpendicular elevated rail networks through the station to ensure a working connection. Shibuya West Capacity: 20,000 Networks served: elevated rail and subway Cost: $15,000 Demolition cost: $6,000 Monthly cost: $100 -There are 2 elevated rail lines included with this station. Ensure you drag 2 parallel elevated rail networks through the station to ensure a working connection. To use both stations, place them right next to each other as in the screenshots to give a uniform look -You do not have to place these two stations together however. Each will operate fine on its own. Simply extract the files to your plugins folder for it to work. The stations will be found in your miscellaneous transportation menu. If you have any questions or concerns about the mod please post below. Thanks and enjoy! -Haljackey

Bullet Train Texture 2 (800în) This one of two texture sets for the train of the Bullet Train Mod (BTM) / Shinkansen Mod created by APTX . It will reskin the default monorail into a bullet train (800în). It will work for BTM version 1 or 2. However, the BTM is not a core dependency as this texture will both work for the High Speed Rail (HSR) mod and the standard monorail network. This bullet train texture resembles some of the older, classic bullet train designs, and has the distinct “bullet” shaped nose. You can only have one bullet train texture installed at a time. Extract all the files included to your SC4 Plugins folder. For windows users that’s “my documents/SimCity 4/plugins”. This mod will also work for Mac and other operating systems. Dependencies: None, but highly recommended for use with BTM version 1 or 2. There is no included readme, see the Bullet Train FAQ for additional information and support.

Bullet Train Texture 1 (500în) This one of two texture sets for the train of the Bullet Train Mod (BTM) / Shinkansen Mod Created by APTX. It will reskin the default monorail into a bullet train (500în). It will work for BTM version 1 or 2. However, the BTM is not a core dependency as this texture will both work for the High Speed Rail (HSR) mod and the standard monorail network. This bullet train texture resembles some of the more modern bullet trains, and has a very unique aerodynamic design to reduce friction and increase speed. You can only have one bullet train texture installed at a time. Extract all the files included to your SC4 Plugins folder. For windows users that’s “my documents/SimCity 4/plugins”. This mod will also work for Mac and other operating systems. Dependencies: None, but highly recommended for use with BTM version 1 or 2. There is no readme included, see the Bullet Train FAQ for additional information and support.

The Bullet Train Mod (BTM), also known as the Shinkansen Mod, is a modification to the monorail network created by APTX. The mod has been unavailable for download because his site has been down for some time. It was later re-released on another site, but this mod is no longer available for download there either. Dirk and the STEX Staff have given me full permission to upload the BTM to the STEX and I’d like to thank them for the opportunity to host one of the most popular hard-to-find mods on this exchange. I would also like to thank Warrior for his hard work making this mod more up-to-date and compatible with many mods such as the NAM. His patches further complete and expand this mod and his technical help was essential to making this upload a reality. Tarkus also helped with the simulator problems and the included slope mod. The Bullet Train mod completely replaces the monorail network in SC4, unlike the High Speed Rail (HSR) mod. A patch has also been released to make the BTM compatible with HSR. A slope mod for the BTM is also included in both versions, allowing you to make realistic slopes for this network. The BTM can change the speed of the monorail (now bullet train) network, but it is fully compatible with the NAM simulators. Using NAM Simulator “Z” is highly recommended. This is version 2 of the BTM, which is an updated texture. The second version has a thicker, bulkier appearence when compared with version 1. This version will also give a small facelift to your elevated rail network. It contains a “cable stayed” bridge that will let you cross water with the BTM. You can only have one version of the BTM installed at a time. Version 2 is not better than version 1 in any way, it just adds a different appearence. Any monorail or HSR station will work for the BTM, and there are a few custom BTM stations found throughout the SC4 community. With the public release of this mod to the STEX, perhaps more BTM stations will be made. Keep in mind that although this mod has been patched and updated, as the original file is older and may not be the most compatible mod out there. The network may revert to the monorail texture for certain types of overpasses or junction setups. This is known, and updates are always being made to further expand this mod. Extract the files included to your SC4 Plugins folder. For windows users that’s “my documents/SimCity 4/plugins”. This mod will also work for Mac and other operating systems. Dependencies: None! (NAM suggested) - (If you want to use the BTM with the HSR mod, you must download the BTM HSR patch either here on the STEX or from the HSRP thread at SC4D.) -It is also highly recommended that you use NAM Simulator “Z” for the BTM to perform to its best potential. Any Z Simulator will work. Have fun! There is no included readme, but I have set up a Bullet Train FAQ thread in the Modding: Transit Networks part of the site to provide support. Feel free to ask any questions you may have there. Enjoy!
