Anyone have a good list of updated mods? I can't figure out how to sort properly on the workshop and the OP seems outdated. Whenever I sort by most popular and subscribed it pulls up junk even on the collections mode. I want stuff like Traffic++.

zedprime posted:Its a gameplay conceit otherwise there would be no way for bad traffic to affect service coverage. I bet you can get around this in amusing ways with that walkways mod that lets you build on pedestrian paths, and allows emergency/utility vehicles to route onto them. Special pedestrian/ambulance bypass bridges all over the place, and so on.

Is there a bug where parks don't ... work? I don't have any user made mods turned on, just the 'unlock everything' and '25 tile' bundled mods. I have an ok number of parks, I think? Or are my cims all staying indoors getting high instead?

People around here can often behave… oddly in roundabouts. If they ever saw a double roundabout, I'm fairly certain that explosive aneurysms would happen. Granted, in the game, that has more to do with how the lanes set themselves up — the AI (mostly) just follows the arrows. Tippis fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Nov 12, 2015 |

So the solutions are either parkier parks that are innately more leisureful (these exist if you delve into the raw stats), a higher density of parks, or a faster road network. 2 lane roads are notoriously bad at conveying service because of how low their speed limit is. Its kind of dumb in the way its set up, presented, and balanced. As your city grows, you will realize if you are or aren't successfully fulfilling the agent based portion of fire departments and police stations, and then it boils down to spamming more service buildings of whatever type seems low to make stuff level up.

I also realized I had them set at the lowest amount of budget possible.  E: Hit post too quickly. That screenshot was my entire city minus the industrial district, which is why I thought it was so weird. I really need to get out of the habit of trying to get super dense residential blocks with minimal pavement, because that's just not how to play this game. Cims don't walk over unzoned land, right? They're good little citizens that stay on the walkways? Jyrraeth fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Nov 12, 2015 |

You guys make such good looking cities compared to my hellish nightmares. Maybe its because I build them based off the only cities Ive ever been to and known (Toronto, Vancouver, LA, and a bunch of cities that are basically giant suburbs like the hell I currently live in). It would explain my inability to plan for public transit and walking at the very least.

There are some really cool custom train assets on the Workshop: Shroomblaze's Union Pacific Cargo Train  Tim the Terrible's Amtrak Acela Express   ron_fu-ta's Regional Train  Acc3ss Violation's BN Local Freight Train  Acc3ss Violation's US SD40-2 with Boxcars, and the caboose from his BN train in the background  Tim the Terrible's Conrail Freight Train Many of these work best with Advance Vehicle Options, a lightweight mod that, among other things, lets you replace the last car of the train with a copy of the engine (important for commuter rail and night operations - the last car never has its own lights for when the train goes backwards). You can also set which trains spawn in general and make various other tweaks. I also recommend Improved Public Transit, which lets you fine-tune how may vehicles spawn on each line and what type. Baronjutter also posted about these mods a couple pages back.

Aside from the Acela there is also an AEM-7 with Amfleet coaches and a Metroliner cab car for your Northeast Corridor cities. Hopefully he'll release one with an ACS-64 soon as the AEM-7s have become rare over the past year. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=537953389 There's also an F40 pulling Superliner cars in the old style Amtrak livery. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=547983662&searchtext=Amtrak

Work in progress update #2: I think I'm happy with the diffuse textures so far. Now it's just a matter of creating the normal, illumination, and specular maps. Hoping to have this wrapped up and on the workshop in a few days! (Sorry about the lovely city I plopped this in. That's also a work in progress to use as a showcase city for all my Seattle towers I'd like to make.) e: Fabulousity posted:Nice work. What other ones were you planning on modeling? Right now at the top of my list are the Municipal Tower, the Smith Tower (for SimCity nostalgia nerds), the Washington Mutual Tower, Safeco Plaza, Fourth and Madison, and the Aspira building. I'd like to take a crack at the Space Needle as well. Even though one is already on the Workshop, I think I could do it better. ExtraNoise fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Nov 12, 2015 |

This guy just put up some neat elevated NYC style train stations to go with new train assets, using the thing someone else put out that lets you change around pillars. Lots of attached mods unfortunately but it definitely looks nice.

zedprime posted:You are poking at a very basic feels question about why a game would want to use agents vs statistical coverage. Since there's no real answer and going back to SimCity 4 is a very valid choice if you don't dig what agents do for providing traffic hurdles, I'd like to flippantly turn it around and ask why wouldn't a city burn down and fill with corpses if the fire trucks and hearses were stuck in a traffic nightmare?

I used to wheel my blinky blinky car through the opposing lane in rush hour, and I skipped a lot of pedestrian paths, grass patches and parking lots back in when I was a cool guy. I have no idea how'd you simulate that in a game like this.

I haven't played for a while, and I've come back and I'm finding that I can plop buildings over roads I've built. I know from past experience that it's a mod doing it, but I can't remember which one or how to turn that off. Anyone know? e. lol I had 2 versions of Road Anarchy and I guess they were colliding e2. I also had 2 versions of no pillars what am i doing Bogan Krkic fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Nov 13, 2015 |

That's probably NoPillars - check the two labels in the bottom left to see if the bottom one says Collide or Overlay.

Yeah, SimCity 4 is the pinnacle of realism. Cars randomly fade in and out of existence, and pollution is unable to spread between regions.
