A few months ago I decided to try installing high speed rail after I read this thread "https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=124&threadid=106534&enterthread=y&STARTPAGE=1" which said it could make elevated monorail into high speed rail. Now it did work and I love the textures of the elevated rail lines. I also read in that thread that it was suggested to install Simulater Z (i think I got ver. 2.2) and I decided to reinstall NAM and this time increase the capacity of all transportation systems to the max option available.
Now the problem:
My high speed rail lines (monorail) and ground rail and basically any form of mass transit are super heavily used. However, my highways, roads, avenues have either no cars on them or only a few hundred cars on them. This is in a city of 500,000, and in case you are wondering before I downloaded these Sim Z and reinstalled NAM the highways were quite heavily used.
So I am wondering if you could tell me what happened and how can I make it so at least some people in my city use highways, roads and avenues? Was it SIM Z, the change I did to make monorails into High speed Rail or the newly updated NAM which I downloaded (i think I had the previous version and upgraded to the newest version and as I said while installing it selected for first time the option for highest capacity for transportation networks)?
Thank you for any help you can give me, love the stuff you guys do here in this website, it has made this game a million times more fun.
