SimCity 4 "Network Addon Mod (April 2008)"

Network Addon Mod (NAM) - очень качественная и популярная модификация для SimCity 4, которая добавляет много новых возможностей по строительству транспортной сети: новые мосты, развилки, транспортные развязки, и в целом делает дороги более реалистичными. Сначала ставится June 2007 затем обновление January 2008.

April 2008

This is the latest update to the Network Addon Mod (NAM) for your Simcity4/Rush Hour game. This modifies the game in substantial ways, and is an attempt to improve in some cases the realism of the simulation, as well as correct bugs in other instances. This mod is a must-have to fully enhance your city networks. Read the included Readme.html in the download for a full list of modifications and updates.

This latest version is the January 2007 Update, which includes:

Diagonal Streets plugin has been enhanced. There are now some additional puzzle pieces to be used on sloped terrains to avoid flattening. Furthermore, there are a few helper pieces which allow you to drag other networks over it to build intersections.

All the game effects on the ped mall puzzle pieces have been removed again because ped malls had acted like a cheat. The generation of crowds has also been removed because it forced older computers to be very slow.

Many cosmetic issues have been done. Some raised puzzle pieces have been remodelled, and the one-way bridges come with one-way textures now.

A set of puzzle pieces to build commute rail tunnels has been added. You may use the default Maxis railway station to handle the traffic switching or (may be) any upcoming underground commute rail station.

European-style lateral highway exits and another one for raised roads have been added.

The custom bridges MOD became part of the NAM. You may choose different new styles of bridges for the common networks.

NAM readme updated to a more convenient layout. Some screenshots illustrate the usage of puzzle pieces and roundabouts.

January 2008
This is the first time that the NAM Team is releasing a NAM Update, rather than a new full version. The June 2007 NAM was the first that has been made modular, so only updated components need to be replaced by this update. Please note that you need the June 2007 NAM version as a dependency for this update, otherwise some items will not work properly. Before your run off in excitement and install the new NAM version, please make sure to read the included readme first and then take action, otherwise some things might go wrong.

Elevated (heavy) Rail puzzle pieces completely revamped, three different texture styles available, some new pieces added.
