Texan

I have a similar problem and I have tried to update my EP1 and BAT, in that order, but every time I try to update, the files don't seem to be modified. The EP1 update says it was successful, but when I check the modification date, it still says 2003, not 2014. I made sure I used the one for North America and I followed all the instructions I found associated with the update. Any suggestions?

I do a little of both. I plan major freeways and rail systems so that I can effectively move large numbers of sims from the suburbs into the business districts within my city. I plan so I don't get "No Job" zots, but after I get the major arteries in place, I tend to be more creative then.

@Bluemoose, Nice map! Very detailed and cool station names. I see you're from Pennsylvania. I was wondering when I saw stations with names like Gulph Rd., Yarborough, and Chester.

This reminds me so much of my travels in Italy. The design and the surroundings remind me of the Autostrada. Very nice work!

I'm not 100% sure because I don't have the layout of your city in front of my, but it appears that there is very limited access to your central business district from the freeways you have surrounding it. If you want to increase traffic downtown, add some more access ramps connecting downtown to your suburbs. That will allow traffic to pick up a bit more. 

@kozmikv1: Nice, I love Dallas! Now you just need to get those big Texas freeways installed and you're good to go! And put a park on top of Woodall Rodgers. I love how you got the DART in there too! haha

Nice story line and transportation networks. Looking forward to more! Maybe you need to give those sims that have trouble finding a seat on the train another alternative: Highways! :D

@ion_cannon Great looking suburb! Looks like it has good access to it's city (metro area) with the train. Any plans for a highway to bypass the curvy roads?

@Josh6 Awesome night view of the airport and the region around it! The river looks like a perfect corridor for planes to fly thru! By the way, how did you get a regional night shot?

Beautiful! What a great image of a shore community. It reminds me of Virginia a bit, I guess its the style of the city.

Thats a nice entertainment district you got there. Very well planned!

Its looking like a nice suburban community, I can't wait to see it as it begins to fill up and you post an update.

Gotta Represent my home city DALLAS! This is the "Texas High Five", the most famous interchange in Texas and puts most other interchanges to shame. At least all the East Coast ones...5 roads stacked on each other, no big deal... http://upload.wikime...9/High_Five.jpg

This is the Trinity Mills DART Station on the Green Line in Farmer's Branch/ Carrollton, TX. A suburb of Dallas. Its a beautiful new station and you can see the I-35E Interchange with the President George Bush Turnpike in the background. This station is the closest DART station to where I live--a few miles off the Sam Rayburn Tollway, so its not exactly THAT convenient, but its a nice alternative. The DART rail system is still under construction and parts of the Orange Line are opening up later this summer!
