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. It goes to show that deep inside you is an architect that wants to go wild building RPG cities and towns.This set of files provides SimCity 4 players with additional choices for the slope parameters of surface transportation networks in the game. Sometimes the city building is the central point of the game, while it can also be a mini-game or part of the role-playing storyline. From simple bases to a sprawling metropolis, the list has been expanding as old games are revisited and remastered along with the new games being launched to show you even more base-building RPGs. Updated on May 3, 2023, by Kristy Ambrose: There are still plenty of RPGs that let you customize entire towns and cities, and the growing popularity of simulation games is only adding more bricks to the wall of video games that include city-building. Luckily, there are plenty of games out there that seem to balance these niches extraordinarily well. It is easy to find an RPG or a city-building game, but it can be challenging to find a game that truly satisfies both elements for a player.

And really, what's not to love about it? Maintaining immersive control over a character within an engrossing story is even better when you can build their home from the ground up, if not an entire town. However, crossovers between the two have become increasingly common over the years.

RPGs and city-building games generally occupy wildly different niches.
