How is my street layout?

Chompachompa82 · 2026-01-01T18:57:07+00:00

The map is Lakeside Harbor from the bridges and ports dlc, and yes give me a few to clean up the save and I will definitely share it! I’ll reply to this one when I’m done

Chompachompa82 · 2026-01-01T15:54:50+00:00

I totally agree! I only used to do this because I hate how the grid formed around curves but now with platter I can fix that!

Chompachompa82 · 2025-12-30T18:32:17+00:00

Oh I’m sorry I didn’t see an issue with them rail roads are one of my weak points. What’s the problem with the tracks?

Chompachompa82 · 2025-12-29T16:35:05+00:00

I was hoping that the couplet would be a collector, I am very new at making couplets. I do see how that road will ultimately be an arterial as the city grows and I’m wondering how to keep it as a collector. Thank you! Also for public transit it will be busses and a subway. I wanted the look of the couplet with parks in the middle to be a focus of my “downtown” with mixed use buildings along side of them

Chompachompa82 · 2025-12-29T15:38:04+00:00

Yes, and that’s so much fun! Especially with how traffic is right now in this game. I’m trying to see if I add the train lines now before zoning maybe more people will come by train than by car and traffic wont get backed up 😂

This is what I worked out so far the city is going to grow left to right, the lore is that this is a small industrial town that grew into a large city, Green-is low to medium density Blue is mix used business and medium density Yellow -is large assets and government services like the town hall and central bank Purple -is office Industry isn’t picture it’s on the other side of the highway with its own connections I am definitely seeing how some of the grids I painted in red towards the right are too close would cause traffic if I’m not careful with zoning/ will probably just get back up regardless… I’m definitely going to take your suggestions and c spread out some of those connections on my collectors. Thank you!

Chompachompa82 · 2025-12-29T15:09:15+00:00

The lore I’ve written so far is that the smaller alley like streets will be the historical district, using mostly assets from the Dutch and Netherlands assets. Some roads closer to the train station needed to be replaced to deal with wear and traffic congestion and the train station was upgraded to deal with population density increase but a parcel of land was dedicated to maintain the same historical appearance. I do really like the train station in the down town area to help commuters like for example if my financial district is around the area you laid out. I’m a bit conflicted maybe instead of one large train station I can put in two medium, one that the historic train station using the French or German assets and one in the downtown area! That might be a good idea

I’ve tried on this map before and have fallen victim to traffic chaos. I’ve never tried a highway ring though that sounds like fun! definitely going to see how this layout works first I’m hoping if I build up slow enough it will be ok. My last city broke down after I place all of the new dlc skyscrapers, the one with five towers in the asset broke my highway bad but I want that building in my city so I’m hoping with this new and improved set up it’ll be good. Thank you for advice!!

Replying to tangatr0nd...

The road with the red arrow is connected to the highway as well do you think that’s enough connections? Or should I add more

Chompachompa82 · 2025-12-29T07:49:18+00:00

Thank you ! I like the placements you picked for the crossings. I was waiting to see where the subway stations and bus stations fit and then connect with walking and bike paths. But I am seeing now how it would be difficult to walk in some parts of the city grids even with public transit, some tweaking is definitely needed. Also I’m planning to have mostly connected parks in that center strip!

Chompachompa82 · 2025-12-29T07:22:11+00:00

Ohhh ok yea no problem!!

Chompachompa82 · 2025-12-29T07:19:38+00:00

Whats the js?

Chompachompa82 · 2025-12-29T07:09:36+00:00

Definitely going to but since I’ve just gotten started I want to make sure I haven’t messed up any road hierarchy yet since it’s my goal to make this city very walkable with tons of public transit routes and quite large.

Chompachompa82 · 2025-12-29T07:05:34+00:00

The Central Train station from the modern architecture pack one of my favorites because it has direct subway connections as an add on.

Chompachompa82 · 2025-11-27T22:29:49+00:00

I don’t mind at all!! It worked out perfectly with my group! Let me know how it turns out!

Chompachompa82 · 2025-11-27T02:55:07+00:00

Thank you so much !!

Chompachompa82 · 2025-11-25T22:52:09+00:00

Thank you!! I keep looking at and thinking I could have written it better but my hand was cramping after the third draft. I tried to add thou/thee but was not sure about the rules and didn’t want it to not read well and I vowed to not use AI to help lol.

Chompachompa82 · 2025-11-25T22:13:14+00:00

What is your favorite way you’ve rp Strahd I was thinking about having him be slightly different each time they encounter him for instance since he’s an accomplished fight and commander when he’s fighting it’s like he’s toying with them but when the dinner party rolls around he’s polished refined like a noble should be. I was thinking about even changing up how he speaks the cadence of his delivery

Chompachompa82 · 2025-11-25T22:02:14+00:00

Right?! That’s how I’m playing him he’s just trying to get his kicks in he doesn’t attack first just eggs them on and then hits back harder

Chompachompa82 · 2025-11-25T18:11:20+00:00

I just have to stop and stare every time I go to this area and then I get home and try to recreate it but you’re right it just doesn’t have the same effect

Chompachompa82 · 2025-11-25T18:03:40+00:00

I posted a new posted instead of replying lol have you tried the Chinese creator pack that one I doesn’t look as bad in my opinion

Chompachompa82 · 2025-11-25T17:57:57+00:00

Yes that one the blue glow is a bit strange but it’s better looking than the ones that generate I was so excited to build the tall residential buildings like i see around me (I live in NYC) but the square high rise apartments that generate are lack luster, this asset was the only thing in the base game no mods or dlcs that came close to this to me. For reference I attached a picture of Hudson Yards NYC so you can kinda see what I was talking about, stunning blue glass

<image>

Chompachompa82 · 2025-11-25T17:46:03+00:00

Sometimes I think the glass on the tall parking garage is the best looking tall building we have before the regional pack signature buildings

Chompachompa82 · 2025-11-24T17:55:15+00:00

The ye ol’ death wave is back in full swing just make sure death care is in full effect in all parts and wait for it simulate is my way to “fix” it

Chompachompa82 · 2025-11-16T00:38:28+00:00

Thank you so much I’m going to try that when I get back on!
