This ensures the game calculates the network’s slope conformance to a much greater degree than the game default settings. Smoothing progression steps: all surface networks have their smoothing progression steps increased to 4096 steps, in 1-cell increments. The other slope mods also share these other properties:Ĭonstruction animations: all construction animations have been sped-up by a factor of 6, reducing the wait time from first drawing/dragging a network, until the construction animation concludes. Certain properties are universally shared by all these slope mods, including the adjustment of the height of the RealRailway tunnel portal, increased from 7.25m to 7.50m (including the Maxis Default settings). Aside from the Maxis Default options, all the others are provided as both a single file with all the surface networks and separate files to mix and match different settings.

This modpack is provided in six (6) additional flavors in decreasing steepness, such that steeper settings are termed as easier to use, along with a small modification of the Maxis default settings. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROVIDED SLOPE MODS Make sure to read the provided ReadMe file for installation instructions, and to get detailed information on the slope parameters of each variant.

As these are beta versions, players are strongly encouraged to provide their feedback, to fine-tune later beta versions and eventually complete an official set of NAM tunnel and slope mods! Extensive research was conducted for both other slope mods and the findings of previous precision terraforming pioneers, most notably BigRedFish and Ennedi, as well as geometric design characteristics of real transportation networks, to best harmonize playability and realism. This collection of slope mods was designed by Boricua, author of the Earthworks Tutorials series. This set of files provides SimCity 4 players with additional choices for the slope parameters of surface transportation networks in the game.
