This is a thread for (SC4) Sim City 4 Highways & Autobahns!!
Post Photos of your Sim City 4 deluxe version custom Highway creations mainly (RHW) Rural Highways , Unique Interchanges , Realistic recreating of a real highway , Bridges , Tunnels , Service Plazas , and Border Crossing if you made one.

Don't show any of your cities in Pictures ; example don't show an overview of your city, just show your Highway & Autobahn creations.

Heres Mine, i can't find any of my old good photos.

But heres the Camden Inlet Bridge in my fictional region of Sorg. (cancelled due to virus)

I like those stacks, though it's not that common to have the through lanes on top.

Cool highway sets!!!! =O Where did you guys download them?

try simtropolis.com

I've always searched for the modd that makes the highways dark (as if paved with asphalt) in many SimCity websites including Simtropolis but I found it nowhere. Can anyone please tell me where I can find it?

These are a few copy/pastes I did over at Simtropolis for a highway fantasy thing I did on one of my cities. A loooot of work went into it which the non highwayers over there didnt appreciate :D

------------------------------------------------------------------------

These pics inspired it all, I got a traffic generator with a deliberately badly designed terminus.

And it went from there....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


As mentioned above, the developing region of Cobsleigh lacks a highway connection to Rogers Island due mainly to resident protests. This results in frequent jamups on the main route into the town, which traverses an industrial estate. This is unpleasant for the locals, but legal proceedings will hopefully be won by the highway construction consortium. The main at-grade avenue in Cobsleigh will eventually connect with the proposed Cobsleigh junction to the west - this avenue was built by the town council and not by the regional motorway authorities, hence its construction without major environmental issues.

Here is a picture of the reserved highway alignment through the centre of the town. Naturally there is no development in the corridor. The highway construction consortium is charged with keeping this area as free of vegetation as possible, to ensure no animals and plants take residence before construction begins.

In the meantime, Cobsleigh is known as a traffic blackspot.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/sc10.jpg

UPDATE -

A motorway order leaked to the press by a (now fired) junior executive has revealed that part of the Cobsleigh motorway may have to be ELEVATED. This development is rumored to be the result of the construction of the Cobsleigh Suburban Rail network, a 4 track interchanging railway that links the eastern suburbs of Cobsleigh with Rogers Island to the north and the proposed Brill Caves developments to the west. Problems with local road rerouting issues were the mainline to run under the main city avenue were also highlighted.

Furious campaigners called for the mayor to resign, some further locals are now backing the campaigners, calling for none of the structure to be elevated. The mayoral response was that several historic buildings would have to be demolished to reroute local roads due to the bridge and that the compulsory purchase order would "add significant and unsustainable cost factors into the development that would reduce funding in unacceptable ways across the rest of the financial spectrum". Campaigners rejected these concerns, pointing out the additional cost of two elevated regions.

Small scale city protests occured near the main alignment, but no major problems were reported.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/sc11.jpg

Announcements on the final motorway alignment are due soon and will be reported here.

Update 3

Cobsleigh residents rejoice! Today marks the publication of the official motorway plans to be set before the GRV Board of Planning for approval. Years of traffic misery may finally be over with the release of the deposit maps of the M1 Rogers Island to Cobsleigh Motorway Scheme. Areas of Compulsory Purchase are marked on the map.

For the uninitiated, here is the current main access route into Cobsleigh. Yellow indicates the current route, red the proposed motorway route. The benefits are clear.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/master-1.jpg

Changes from the project displayed at the public hearing have occurred - having listened to residents concerns only a small elevated section will be included and the proposed grade separated Cobsleigh junction has been modified to be an at-grade roundabout. This can easily be upgraded in the future to a full grade separated junction upon construction of the future M1 Cobsleigh to Brill Caves project.

The following is the first page of the 269 page motorway order for the scheme.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/motorway.gif

The brochure gives the following map and details for the proposed project. Note the elevated section, at grade roundabout, road bridge and local roundabout access.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/master3.jpg

Construction is dependent on final approval from the GRV Board of Planning. If accepted, it is anticipated that construction will begin immediately on this much needed scheme.

THE TIME HAS COME.

After years of wrangling, years of legal issues, years of community division and years of traffic mayhem, construction of the M1 Rogers Island - Cobsleigh scheme began recently, promising a new era in cooperation between the suburbs.

The day of construction start - the official sod turning ceremony!


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/CJ/sc12.jpg

Within a couple of days the route was awash with clearance and ground works on the mainline.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/CJ/sc13.jpg

Clearance also took place recently at the location of the scheme termination roundabout. This image was snapped during the demolition of one of the compulsorarily purchased buildings.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/CJ/sc15.jpg

In Rogers Island, clearance also took place. Note the beginning of construction of the roundabout on the left as well as work on the bridge.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/CJ/sc22.jpg

Meanwhile, back in Cobsleigh, the main avenue became a hive of work one weekend, as the main bridge abutments for the elevated section were installed overnight. This resulted in minimal traffic disruption. Work on part of the ground section can be seen in the background.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/CJ/sc14.jpg

Its over. Finally the highway is built and the streets of Cobsleigh and Rogers Island are free from overcrowding and ceaseless commuter traffic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These pics were taken during the second half of construction.

Due to the realignment of the avenue and construction of the roundabout, the main avenue throughfare had to be reduced to one lane contraflow. Not pleasant for commuters, but necessary. Hard core base can be seen on the right for the realignment.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/CJ/sc16.jpg

Some more hard core base being put into the mainline before the construction of the carriageway ->

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/CJ/sc17.jpg

Work continued also in Rogers Island, the roundabout to the left was completed ahead of schedule and preparatory work continued on the road bridge.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/CJ/sc23.jpg

The motorway was closed overnight and the road bridge installed. This pic was taken after opening of the new structure.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/CJ/sc24.jpg

Then the big moment came! Opening was scheduled for 2pm on the 8th March.
This pic was taken at 1.55pm ->

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/THE_Chris533976/CJ/sc18.jpg

And this was taken at 2.05pm. Relieved drivers sample the new highway and relieved homeowners listen to the substantial reduction in noise and pollution outside their doors.

An aerial view of the junction at the termination of the scheme. Significant ground work is still to be done, however the road is now fully open for drivers and there should not be any more closures.

It was a huge amount of work to make that and only a few people were interested, hope that changes here :D

I enjoyed that report Chris, it was really entertaining and seemed really professional, maybe more shall follow?

(any plans to introduce slip-lanes to the terminating roundabout junction to ease congestion?)

Great views! I just bought the game a few weeks ago, so I'm not that far yet.

Nice shots! I used to play Locomotion a lot, but you can't make real motorways with that game. I have only played with a very old version of SC, which was crap, but this looks awesome. :)

Welcome Haljakey, i am sc4portugal.

I enjoyed that report Chris, it was really entertaining and seemed really professional, maybe more shall follow?

Thx :)

The roundabout is long gone and theres a full ring road dealy around half my map now :D Havent worked on it for months tho.

Great work Chris, that's a pretty nice improvement for sure.

Wow, nice job everyone! Chris, thats a massive project!

I love the picks thanks.

This isn't really relivant but I had to give up on sim city 4 because it would crash every 5 minutes (really anoying!!!!) does any one have any susgestions?

Did you use cheats to build this fancy stuff or did you play by the rules?

This crossing looks suicidal on the right! :D

Interesting that so many here play it, altough not so surprising maybe :) .

Ive just started playing my region, dont have any recent shots but il try to start it at a ridiculously high resolution and take a screenshot of the whole city in game...

here are some older ones.''

I've always sucked at highways (I'm much better at things like realistic public transit and suburban\urban boundaries) but there's some fantastic work in this thread! :D

It sounded awesome but the graphics are so crappy, that I wouldn´t like to play the game 1 minute. Really crappy graphics, not even 3d

It sounded awesome but the graphics are so crappy, that I wouldn´t like to play the game 1 minute. Really crappy graphics, not even 3d

The fact its not in 3D has allowed for great detail. But then after all its just a simulator/game. Cities XL might become better though :cheers:

This is the only game I play, but its really time consuming to do city projects. Much because of the slow to work with interface when you have a lot of downloaded objects in the menus.

If it is with difficulties with financing and so on I would always use cheats to have unlimited money and only construct.

Could someone put up the links to those highway sets that they use.

Most of them can be found at

www.sc4devotion.com

There are also a load of japanese sites with good bats, such as Ks Japans's site, or SOMY.

The most important addon for traffic is the NAM (network addon mod), which you can find in the modsection of simtropolis.

Heres an 8 month old Picture, at my first attemped at using Bhaldy's Big Dig tunnel NAM pieces!!

Sorry no close ups , but friday theres a big surprise coming!!!!

D4m through the middle of it all :D

radi6404: Because it is not 3-D, an incredible amount of detail can be seen. Most 3D games during its release time were very simple and lacked detail.

Nexis: Wow, nice job! :okay:

Here is another huge one from me. It connects two 12-lane highways with a collector/express system together.
http://www.imagehosting.gr/upload4/out.php/i137542_TheInterchangeMar.4001213061251.jpg

I know it looks complicated, so let me make it easier for you with two examples of traffic movement for northbound traffic. (Start at the start!)

1. Discrete interchanges for collector and express lanes. (No transfers.)
Light Red: Collector lanes (outer lanes)
Dark Red: Express lanes (inner lanes)
http://www.imagehosting.gr/upload4/out.php/i138662_TheInterchangeMar.4001213061251kmo.jpg

2. Full connectivity. (With transfers.) Since this involves both collector and express lanes, colour coding is not necessary.
http://www.imagehosting.gr/upload4/out.php/i138663_TheInterchangeMar.489484001213061251.jpg

I hope you enjoyed it!

Best,

Quite complex, even with the noise walls, that ought to be quite a noisy environment. If it would be a real world highway, it would be quite hard to upgrade in the future.

But its complexity alone is impressive. Thought through.

Good-looking and creative motorway system, although it's pointless because most of the ramps and intersections are of no use as they do the same job as a single stack intersection. But I still love the complexity level of that project :cheers:

Hi,

I'm a new here to SSC, but I'm a SC4 devotee, and I can't find those highway ramps that I constantly see on these outstanding interchanges. Can somebody help me?

^^ Try Simtropolis, and specifically the Network Addition Mod.

Thanks, Urbanfan.

About making the highways look like they're paved with asphalt, does anyone have more information than just the website, like the name of the download?

And Haljackey, Awesome interchange! How did you get those local lanes (single directional) without using the RHW?

Concerning the asphalt highway textures, you'd have to go to sc4devotion.com and head on over to the BSC Exchange. Under Transport Mods, you'll find the Euro Road textures mod that transforms all of your roads and highways to Euro style roads (mainly striping), which include the asphalt highways. Don't know if you can just apply the asphalt texture to the highways and nothing else.

I stopped playing SC4 at this point because it was just becoming waaaay too time consuming to build well developed cities.

for all the sim city player, i need help from all of.

may i know why the of the items downloaded can not be work at night? i mean the light of the item is not on during night time????

^^ maybe you'll find the answer to your night lights issue in this thread --> linkie (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=1680.msg144095) at SC4Devotion...

This is my best junction:

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/5707/dagenham1margv6.jpg

A cloverturbine I once tried to see if I could actually use it while playing the city. It's too large but I like the concept.

http://img379.imageshack.us/img379/1707/cloverturbineyp5.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

^^ It looks really cool but it's easier to use a simple highway junction :):):)

That's why I said I simply liked the concept :)

Yes it's cool alright :)

I wish you build it smaller...

Nice stuff haljackey, I see you also used the new features on the addon mod :)

where can you download sim city 4?

You can buy the deluxe version at Bart Smit for 10 euros, or order it online, but it's often more expensive in case you do that.

and if you download it , can you build roads?

I think so. There are several sites on which you can download mods with which you can build special things (new buildings, new types of road, other types of train stations, etc.). That's all legal AFAIK. I just don't know where you can download the whole game.

ok, i will go monday buy the game in bartsmit

Just make sure that you buy the Deluxe Version. There is also a normal version, but it's just crap. You can do way more with the Deluxe Version.

What's the difference between Rush Hour and Deluxe version?

AFAIK there is no difference. It's just the normal version that is crap. I have the Deluxe edition. On the back side it says that it is the best selling SC4 plus the Rush hour expension pack.

how much you payed for the deluxe version? 10euro's?

:yes:

how much you payed for the deluxe version? 10euro's?

Can't you just download it from a Torrent Tracker?

I dont know if you have the link i will download it.

Do you have a BitComet program?
If no, then download it (for free) from this (http://www.bitcomet.com) site.
Install it.
Then here is the link (http://www.torrentreactor.net/torrents/1107084/Sim-City-4-Deluxe-MULTI-LANG-%28includes-patches-and-serial%29-fixed) for SC Deluxe.

Yay! It seems SimCity 4 will work with Wine (http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/04/06/simcity-4-on-ubuntu-with-wine/), which means that I can play it.

i have downoaded that bit comet and i clicked on the download for simcity and it wont open?

Is some kind of illegal software download an issue here? :D

What a conversation. :lol:

5 lanes....MASSIVE!! :cheers:

Does RHW mod allow you to add as many lanes as you wish?

Nope, 5 is max... I would love to have a 20 lanes-highway going through my city :lol:

Where exactly can you download the RHW mod?

^^ Try simtropolis.com or sc4devotion.com. Registration needed. And check dependancies as well.

Where exactly can you download the RHW mod?

^^ here (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=853) :)
(http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=853)

Thanks for the link, but where should I click to download it? I might overlook it, but I'm not really awake yet :lol:

Thanks for the link, but where should I click to download it? I might overlook it, but I'm not really awake yet :lol:

^^ as @Majestic pointed out---you need to be registered on the site (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_login.php).
you will not be able to see the download button if you're not logged in :)

Ok, I registered on the site and I downloaded the mod, installed it, and I started up saw it in the motorway option in SC4. Still I can't build RHW's, because the arrow stays red and doesn't turn green, as it should according to the description. Can anyone help me?

You'll need NAM, you can find it on the same site.

I've downloaded this (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=853) one, what more should I download? (sorry for being annoying and stupid....)

I've downloaded this (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=853) one, what more should I download? (sorry for being annoying and stupid....)
Dependencies, that's the key word. Whenever you download any mod or BAT object, you want to check dependencies. These are files or other mods needed for your mod to be up and running.

Now scroll down the RHW download page until you see DEPENDENCIES. What you'll see is Network Addon Mod (NAM), without which there is basicaly no point in playing this game ;)
Download and install it. And I would suggest uninstalling RHW first and later installing it 'onto' the freshly aqcuired NAM.

That should do it :)

I've downloaded it now. How do I install it? The RHW mod can be installed by just clicking on it. This one consists of more files. And where should I unpack it?

I know I'm being difficult, but I'm not very handy with this kind of things.

Boy, oh boy, Timon! I am pretty sure you are smart enough to do some research and get it going yourself, you're just lazy :nono: :lol: :D

I would tell you what to do but the problem is forgot myself what the issue with installation was! Isn't that NAM an executable file that goes with installation wizard? Alternatively, look for a readme or forum support or something.

Besides, if you want to have some fun with SC4 and its different mods, you will need to get the idea of how the installation works sooner or later, cause all of them are done similarly.

All five mods I downloaded, including NAM, came with an executable that installed them automatically.

Also, SimCity 4 just crashed when I tried to build a road through a building. :( Oh well, I was running out of money and had taken out three $200k loans anyway, as well as accidentally blown up a military base that was earning me $350 per month, so it's no huge loss. I always run out of money when I play these kinds of games, I want to build a whole lot more infrastructure than I have the funding for. :lol:

Try the money tree ;)

I've downloaded it again and I installed it. Now it works. Still I have trouble with building a proper exit and a proper overpass. Also it seems impossible to build an exit on a 2×5 road, but I will have a closer look tomorrow (day off :banana:) to see how it works.

When you have choosen the "exit-icon" in the Menu, klick TAB and you'll get alot of different styled exits... if you have not figured that out already :p

Yeah, I figured that out, but how do you build a proper overpass? There is an option to build a road above your RHW, but how do you connect that overpass to the road?

Try the normal road puzzle-pieces.

I once started creating my region but soon I got too busy and never found enough time and will to finish it. I used to grab a piece of paper and design each region, its zoning and transportation corridors before actually creating them in the game. :)
Maybe someday I will finish what's been started...

Schkiyi's expressways.

Lol. my simcity game is shutting down all the time. just errors. Is someone familiar with that? does it shut down because I downloaded too much stuff?

Unless your computer is the reason for the game shutting down, of course it wont shut down due to the amount of plugins you have, alone.

It can be due to conflicting mods/content, or plugins that simply carry bugs with them, you may also be lacking a dependency, altough that should usually only lead to graphical content missing. You will simply need to troubleshoot the game and find out which lot/bat/mod or what have you is making the game crash. If you have added many plugins at once it gets harder to troubleshoot, but usally there are some plugins that are more suspicious than others.

It is not a bad habit to read the readme files, at least for major and important, or just odd (anything that actually modifies the actual simulation of the game or uses tricks to achieve things that would normally not be possible in SC4), downloads before adding them to the game, either. It ends up saving you a lot of trouble ;) .

If you want to speed up the game, by the way, id recommend the datpacker from sc4devotion. It works superbly. In fact the main issue keeping me away from playing SC4RH nowadays is not loading times, but the limits of the game interface which makes it take ages to find what you want to use when you have 5-6 gigabytes of plugins (and that is in datpacked active only content).

Well like (Alle) said, SC4 only shuts down if there is conflict within the plugin folder. Otherwise it should run fine unless , u have a slow PC or MAC. Although it will shut down if u keep making large cities , but not for at least a few hours usual 4 hours.

You mean those advisors say so? Don't listen to them. :D

Yeah, after a while you just get used to ignoring those idiots :D

@enschede-er: the problem might be that you do have the waterpumps and the coverage, but that you don't have enough capacity to supply your city with water. In that case you need to build more waterpumps :)

^^ you can turn them in to a lama with a cheat. :D You can also download the stupid news ticker mod. Don't know if it works..

Thanks for the help Alle and Nexis. I think it's trouble in the plug in folder. I just resetted this computer a few days ago. and it has windows vista, so it's real fast. no problems with that.. I think I have to remove all the plug in stuff. because I downloaded all of them on the same day..

Generally, your cities have an american flavor to them.

I spy a new loop intersection! This may tempt me to return to Simtropolis...
And I might as well ask, is there any possibility of a double decker highway mod?

Only partially. One level would have to have travel on the left, and the other on the right. This is to prevent cars from "jumping" between levels that have the same paths. (This may not be completely accurate, only my understanding of what the gurus on SC4D and ST said.)

I've seen pictures of some prototype ones but I haven't seen anything about them being featured in any future NAM or RHW. Then again, I haven't been on SC4 sites for months.

A new modder has recently exploded onto the scene by the [user]name of Blue Lightning, with his new double-decker highway puzzle pieces - The lower level is classic avenue, and the top level is elevated RHW-4 going in the opposite direction to keep traffic from jumping between levels.

That means that the lower level is:
<<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>>>>>>
and the top level is
>>>>>>>>>
<<<<<<<<<
The pieces are in very early stages and aren't anywhere near being released, though so don't hold your breath.

Replies / Timon91 : yes the windmills power the entire city , i like them because they look more realistic then the Maxis Wind mills , only problem they don't turn. only a few people in SC4 custom content world know how to make moving custom content work properly in the Game.:ohno:

Awesome interchanges!

And, I've been looking for those windmills, where did you download them?

Nice traffic generators. :-P

Yeah, no inhabitants - lots of traffic. Quite weird to see that :D

Timon91: in till my region is 95% done i don't fully play the cities , but layout the infrastructure and make sure it works properly , that's why i use the traffic generator :)

Okey, I've just made a big and stupid interchange... I think the idea is good, but it turned out waaay to big :ohno:

Why can't they just put all these new things all in one game?

Matty, all of this extra content is user-generated. People who are extremely devoted to the game create 3rd party content that we can download. All of this content needs Sim City 4 Rush Hour in order to work. If you have SC4RH, you can also think about buying the bundle discs that Simtropolis.com makes available. These discs are loaded with everything from maps, to buildings, to textures, to transport networks, all created by users like yourself.

City of Abcoude Coast

Highways in the City are currently limited, to 1 - North-South Motorway. The A-97 travels over a series of Embankments and Low bridges that cross the many small Creeks in the Sand flats. There are smaller feeder roads & Highways that feed into the A-97. The City of Abcoude Coast will be a vital Port / Agricultural area in the Region of Dutch Nexis. Some more Highways are in Planning. 6 more to be exact , to feed into A-97 from the Coast.

Very well done, I love SC4!

When will CitiesXL be released? Also, will it be like City Life where you have to place each society group create jobs and service for that particular society. Or is more like Simcity where you zone and see who moves in.

Thanks for helping out!

I've heard it'll be June or July, bu t idk

I just got the RHW and I have been unsuccessful at creating a large interchange, as in two highways 6 lanes or larger meeting. Is it not possible to create that? It won't let me go over or under one highway with the other so I am stuck.

For tunnels: Just make a it a one-way road right before the tunnel.
For overpasses: Tab around until you find the ground to elevated RHW piece.

I'm Back with more Interchanges!

What version of SC4 is that ? О.о ...I have a SC4 Deluxe Edition , but I can't build so big roads.

You have to download plug-ins on sc4devotion.com or simtropolis.com. This one is called the ruralhighwaymod I think.

Corey, your highways are just beautiful to look at.

and everythings we can find in the real world that there are not in SC4.
I ask you another question: how can I make Skyscrapers grow?
please help me! please answer my questions in the simplest English I can understand (PS: my English isn't very good!)

PS: I already downloaded from STEX :
-NAM (Network addon mod)
-BTM (bullet train mod)
-HSRP (High speed rail project)
-lots of buildings
-RHW

I've always searched for the modd that makes the highways dark (as if paved with asphalt) in many SimCity websites including Simtropolis but I found it nowhere. Can anyone please tell me where I can find it?

well if you find out tell me i will look 2

I forgot I even wrote that, that was ages ago :lol:

Anyway, I used the Highway Asphalt Texture (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=13705) from Simtropolis. However, it appears to be incompatible with the June 2009 NAM version, so perhaps it will be better if you look for alternatives. The Complete Asphalt Texture set (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=20509) looks promising.

Heres some of my recent hwys n interchanges

Hey Nexis, what's that highway mod called? The one with dark asphalt.

No offence, but these are good-looking freeways for a change.

I agree. Nice work!

Here's one from me:

Ooh Corey baby! I saw the word 'highway'...clicked on it and surprise, surprise...you appeared! lol

Hey Nexis, what's that highway mod called? The one with dark asphalt.

AFAIK it's the Rural Highway Mod. I downloaded it but it's hard to work with. Nexis really seems to know the mod and therefore he can create these motorways and interchanges :)

The RHW isn't that hard to work with when you get used to it.
And that pictured is regular highways/motorways/freeways, not RHW's.
Btw, where did you get the dutch and american road signs, looked everywhere but couldn't find them.

Cities XL is out, has anyone tried it?

^^From what I've heard CXL won't even have buses available in single player, you have to pay up monthly for the MMO part in order to gain access to basic functionality (that SimCity 4 had from the very beginning).

Right now, my only city-building hope lies with CityMania... an open-source project started on the SC4Devotion site. They want to first replicate SimCity 4, then it can be modded much more nicely (the current RHW and other addons are more like hacks at this stage, since the code for SimCity 4 is not publicly available).

Here's some videos i made early this year of the Rural Highway Mod

if you made those by yourself, i have a few questions:

How do you make toll plazas??
How do you make the overhead road signs??
And do the elevated RHW's really work, i've tried making those, but the cars just keep falling off them

I've just started making my own RHW, it's interesting but limited.

This CityMania sounds interesting. It is actually gonna be good tho, or just some cheap looking 2D knock off...

I downloaded those items form STEX , type in : Toll Plaza , Highway Signs and you'll find them. There are alot of tutorials online on SC4 Devotion or Youtube , it takes some practice but after a week you should get the hang of it.:)

Here's 3 More Videos
