I think that looks great! Maybe it could be added as an option in the NAM installation?

Moving the discussion back a little bit to barriers. I cant remember ever having seen a real life RHW 8 or 10 without inside barriers. Wouldn't it be possible to have concrete barriers be standard on 8 and 10, while 4 an 6 are left without? Also, How about some HOV lane markings for the RHW-S? One last thing,. Would it be possible to make cosmetic pieces for shoulder merging lanes on the 10, so that you don't have to make it 8 thru lanes to have acceleration/weave lanes?

To battle increased congestion in the downtown area a mass transit plan was introduced. Bus lines were added to all avenues within the Perimeter Freeway, running either east-west or north-south. In addition to this basic mass transit the Mojave infrastructure board decided on building a network of BRTs running on their own grade separated highways. BRT: The western parts of the yellow line (University of Southern California Mojave City-Northwest downtown) and the green line (Millers Valley Ranch-Northwest downtown) were the first to open as the suburbs they run through were not yet finished, why it could easily be added without use of eminent domain. The Eastern part of the yellow line and the souther part of the green line were a bit more complicated, having to be built elevated for some parts, and with pretty tight curves. The green line carries 102 000 passengers every day, of which the majority (76 000) travel between the 670 000 residents government housing complex near the southern terminus of the line and the downtown area. This 8 mile (13km) trip takes approximately 12 minutes, with about twice that for the entire lengt. The yellow line has a total of approximately 25 000 passengers, of which 16000 step of downtown, 4000 at the USCMC and 2000 at the southestern terminus. The whole line end to end is 12 miles/22km, taking about 25 minutes depending on the number of moms trying to haul strollers onto the buses. The Orange line is today nothing but a 1/2 mile stump going north from the central bus station, with a total ridership of 2700. Construction was planned to begin 2027, but the unexpected succes of the green line means there's simply no capacity left on the part that it already shares with the yellow line, why construction has been delayed until at least 2029 while a new alignment is being worked out. Heavy rail: The red line Metro (also called Millenium Park Metro line) is the only "real" subway line is the city. It's used way below capacity at only 25 000 passengers per day, and is not expected to see an increase in ridership unless it gets an extension north of the mountains or southwest to the Corall Reef. Any extension is unlikely the coming 10 years as development downtown has come to a stop. The purple line (often called the "why the hell does it exist line") is a 1 1/2 mile line crossing the red line at the central station. It currently fills no purpose, but still operates with 15 minuts traffic for its 1400 daily riders. Some day it is supposed to be extended north of the mountains and south to the Stadiums. Pending Funding.

History In the year of 2018 a new development company was formed, owned by a group consisting of all Fortune 500 companies, the Mojave Development Corp. The plan was to build an experimental mega-city from the ground up. No congestion, no overpopulation, nu slums. Four 8-lane freeways were to connect the suburbs to the CBD, with a perimeter ring road surrounding the city. The huge flat area between Lancaster and Victorville just north of LA was choosen for the project When the CEO's of the worlds largest corporations design the city in which they plan to relocate their headquarters, they tend to design it for themselves, which is why an artifical river and lake was created, effectively creating an isolated island to the east of the CBD. By January 2025 the CBD was almost finalized according to the original city plan. Offices and retail facilities for 200 000 employees had been built and thousands of homes in the surrounding areas went on sale every day. In March of the same year Mojave Development Corp. became the first company to officialy open their HQ in the city, moving 10 500 employees. Towards the end of the year 80% of all office space in the CBD was occupied and rent began booming. By December 31th the city had reached a population of 348 000 people and both home and office rent prices were rising by the dubbel digits every month. The WSJ ran an article predicting the total collapse of the project, which helped cool down the growth, but couldn't stop it. The higher than expected growth of financial institutions and business headquarters locating in the city lead to a premature enactment of stage two: new boomtowns outside the perimiter freeway. At the same time investors outside the Mojave Development Corp began constructing skyscrapers in the CBD, leading to chronic congestion of the CBD-bound freeways.

Is there something i'm doing wrong with the following? Blue on the upper side is going around the corners of four tiles. When I change between the city tiles following the traffic flow it just keeps increasing. Currently around 50k cars just goung around in a circle. Yellow is 120 000k cars and 40 000 bus commuters, of which about half of the cars just disappears when going into the next city tile. When going into the next tile after that (the CBD) there are only 30 000 buses and 10 000 cars left. The red circled area dilapidates due to commuting times, even though there are 300 000 jobs in the area (the region has 1.5:1 people:jobs).

You can cease Maxis 1x3 lots from growing by installing a MAXIS lot blocker, as well as making sure no other custom content is installed while growing these. To facilitate this for a short period of time, you can remove the other plugins and add the MAXIS blocker when you plan to grow these houses, then reinstate any other residential plugins using a 1x3 lot afterwards. MAXIS Blocker: http://community.sim...by-dusktrooper/ Thank you! Also, could you make a version with orange roofs for that California feel? :)

Network Widening Mod (NWM) - Development and Support
fredrik001 replied to Tarkus's topic in NAM & Transit Networks
That's just general nature of puzzle pieces. Plus, trying to add them can cause undesirable side effects. With TuLEPs, adding them makes it hard to use custom sidewalk plugins because the textures have to be "baked in" the piece itself. But why doesn't the AVE6-AVE6 have "wealthification" while the AVE6-AVE4 and AVE6-TuLEP do? Sorry, I don't understand anything about programming :S- 414 Replies

Greater Terran #1: Region Selection and First City
fredrik001 commented on Haljackey's City Journal Entry in Greater Terran
Ya I try... The more I play this game, the more it frustrates me. Somewhat off topic: EA is giving me a free game to help apologize for the SimCity (2013) mess. Which one should I get? Battlefield 3 Bejeweled 3 Dead Space 3 Mass Effect 3 (I played Mass Effect, but not #2) Medal of Honor Warfighter Need For Speed Most Wanted (The remake? I played the one for the PS2) Plants vs. Zombies SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition (own it) If you like FPS games I think you should get Battlefield 3, it's a pretty good game -

Could someone make an Amazon distribution center? Why this should be made? Because the poor Sims still live in the pre-internet age of 2003.
