Realistic Highway Network – Shady Strands Map
Following on from my (surprisingly popular) Islands Map re-work, I’ve cleaned up the road and rail network on the Shady Strands map now as well.
Same as before – the stock road networks are tragically bad, so I’ve completely rebuilt them to look more realistic and pleasing to the eye. I’ve also cleaned up the railroads; whilst the options for these are VERY limited, I’ve done what I can with the tools available (rail, and nothing more, sadly).
You’ll notice that where the original map has an absurd 4-way railroad interchange (why?) I’ve rebuilt this competely.
Railways don’t have highway-like interchanges in the real world, they are almost exclusively point-to-point and back again.
MODS you may need to play this save –
Unlock all – I unlocked all items to rebuild the roads, you’ll probably need it as well.
Unlimited money – currently losing almost 15,000 per week due to all the new roads. I’ve pumped the balance up to 1.5 million to account for this cost so you may be ok, but just bare in mind that the balance will disappear quickly…
All 25 areas purchasable – essential as I’ve already unlocked all areas.
The roads were built “vanilla” so it should be good to go.
