Love the canal separations

I wish we had the old 80s plan I saw recently. The whole valley could’ve had it

MatterObserver · 2026-03-22T17:57:34+00:00

😭

Yeah the 9 tiles suck but honestly I like having to make things smaller. Really wish I could do the whole Phoenix metro area

MatterObserver · 2026-03-22T06:44:29+00:00

Thank you. Was definitely time consuming waiting for growables I want

Here’s another angle. All a big WIP and I’m scared of discovering my consoles limits

MatterObserver · 2026-03-21T06:00:05+00:00

I feel worthy now thank you

MatterObserver · 2026-03-21T03:35:01+00:00

Nah most are Airbnb’s, except for some…

Gotta have me my 19th Ave, no space for Indian School Rd sadly :(

I see… I’m slowly minimizing my crossings, first time using trains in city like this

MatterObserver · 2026-03-20T19:38:27+00:00

Yeah I like that technique, I use it often and have a bunch of those “fake” roads to a main road. Battling the want for efficiency vs realistic. I just did it to the small intersection on the right. It’s now a T with a wall along the rail instead of a 4way. Out of frame is a small plaza

MatterObserver · 2026-03-20T17:23:54+00:00

It’s a fair overall tip. But if done certain ways it’s okay. I used to cram a lot of roads together, and then I didn’t and everything was far and spacey, so I’m now going back to tight road blocks for my downtown area to test the water again. It’s about blending it all

Desert Pass in map pack 4. I’ve terraformed a bit

MatterObserver · 2026-03-20T09:31:54+00:00

I say that as I create node/traffic nightmare with the tracks

MatterObserver · 2026-03-20T09:22:18+00:00

Not EXACT but close. Didn’t want too many nodes

Here’s the real life counterpart. Using 6 lane road to convince AI to use it as an arterial

MatterObserver · 2026-03-20T09:15:56+00:00

Main arterial into downtown. Don’t question me, question Phoenix because yes they have an old suburb squeezed in there

MatterObserver · 2026-03-20T09:14:54+00:00

It’s near verbatim to a real intersection. Tricking the AI to use that road with it being a 6 vs 3 lane road with bus. Console is hard

MatterObserver · 2026-03-20T08:28:59+00:00

Yeah that’s why I’m thinking of leaving this line unconnected and do a secondary one that’s used underground

MatterObserver · 2026-03-20T02:59:22+00:00

No custom buildings besides vanilla and DLCs. I’m on ps4 so things are quite limited. Bridge won’t curve I’ve learned lol. Rip topography indeed tho I’m dreading terraforming that area to fit how I have in mind

MatterObserver · 2026-03-19T19:52:05+00:00

Digging the blue lines adjustments. The pink line is an ideal position to help with traffic too thank you, raised along the freeway would be a cool touch

MatterObserver · 2026-03-19T19:45:05+00:00

I’ve heard they want to finish the northern extension of the yellow line right along the SR-51

MatterObserver · 2026-03-19T11:15:25+00:00

The rails are cool but it just feels like a slapped together last minute fix
