1. Grid is not bad, but it will not become realistic if you have too many cities using the same type of city layout. The target is not making a good-looking city, but realistic-looking city, and most cities around the earth aren't using grid layout.
2. Please, don't bump a 3 years old thread.
3. If you want to do post something but you don't get any thread (newer is better) that match with your problem, please click the 'start a new topic' button that located just right below your account link when you open a forum (not thread).
