how did u get those avenues?????

[SimCityEnthusiast]

@xbigone321 Thanks for the question.

Those avenue interchanges come standard to SimCity4 with either the "Rush Hour" expansion or the "Deluxe Edition" version of the game. When you're playing in city-mode, click on "transportation tools," then on "Build Highways & Ramps," then on "Ground Highway Overpass Onramp," and cycle through the different types of ramps by pushing "Tab," pushing twice to get the ramps that I have in this video, the ground level highways with the avenue overpasses.

Is that the exact same way you made your highways in your SimCity 4 Super Highways Video? same spaces in between each interchange and everything?

@11matt555 Thanks for the question.

This video shows how I first started doing my sunken highways, which is a little different from what is seen in my "Super Highways" video. In this video there are two depth levels to notice. Using the highway slope, "down in two" is the tunnel and highways depth, and "down in one" is the avenue crossing depth. What I do different now is I build the highway depth to only "down in one," so the highways stay flat while going under the avenue bridges.

When you use the road and plop them one piece at a time to sculpt the terrain, why are they looking like bits of roads? That is to say that when I try it myself in my game they come out as a parking lot piece instead of a road.  I guess it doesn't really matter whether their a bit of street or a bit of a parking lot, but I'm just curious if it's something special you have installed or something "un-special" that I have as a plugin somewhere. Thanks,

Thanks for the question.

In SimCity 4 without mods, when you plop 1x1 road or street piece, they look like they do in the video.

You must have a mod installed that turns them into parking lot pieces. That sounds cool. There is no use for the 1x1 road pieces.
