~The Bay~ A prefab region with NAM highway and rail networks
Indiana Joe posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Get the latest release: https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/33839-humacao-pre-transited-NAM-region/ So following the discussions from 4 years ago and again this month, this is a little demo I have created to test the idea of a Prefab NAM highway network region. Madison County was a huge region that would take a long time to do, so I hand-created the quintessential little 8x8km region with a prefab RHW highway network, as well as a RRW rail network. Almost all of the cities are connected by one or both. I give you...The Bay: A secluded inlet fed by a river descending from the surrounding cradle of mountains provides the perfect spot to build a town or two, or even a thriving metropolis. Those are all medium cities and one large. The yellow dots are highway access points for surface roads (pre-built). The prefab highway and rail networks are built with a variety of features, including Fractional Angle Networks, FLEX pieces, draggable network interfaces, a couple ol' fashioned puzzle pieces here or there. I used a slope mod when building so everything's nice and smooth. Also, all cities are incorporated on Easy difficulty, because RHW can be expensive and I didn't want to worry about running out of money. Technical Considerations Download and Instructions Dependencies: this region requires that the Network Addon Mod v36 is installed. Additionally, you must ensure that the following NAM options are installed via a Custom Installation: RHW (Real HighWay) and all components (only need network levels L0 through L2) MHO (Maxis Highway Override) RRW (Real RailWay) and rail viaducts Road viaducts, all components Wide Radius Curves I highly encourage the use of a slope mod (several options available on the exchanges), but one that is too restrictive might make editing the highway network difficult, as I have used a slightly steep one. To change the name and mayor name of the already-incorporated cities, you can use Buggi's Extra Cheats Plugin. Without further adieu, here's the region. To install, unzip the folder, and place "The Bay" folder into your "Regions" folder (My Documents/SimCity 4/Regions). https://www.moddb.com/games/SimCity-4-rush-hour/addons/the-bay#downloadsform Get it on the STEX! Give it a whirl and share what you do with it. Let me know about anything regarding suggestions or bugs and technical support. Disclaimer: use at your own risk! Many of the people testing this out will probably be familiar with modding the game, but it is ultimately meant to appeal to the novice player. If you don't know anything about modding the game, post here and ask any questions! -Matt- 46 Replies
