In addition to the new full version of the NAM, NAM 46, we've also issued an updated version of the new NAM Lite Package, NAM Lite 2, as a standalone download.

A much more compact version of the flagship Network Addon Mod (NAM), NAM Lite features just the most essential of NAM features, including the NAM's renowned Traffic Simulator Plugins, refining SimCity 4's pathfinding engine to work as it was originally intended, along with Automata Controller options, updated textures (including a Euro/International texture option), Roundabouts, Diagonal Streets, additional interchanges for the game's base Highway system (the "Maxis Highways"), and (optional) Hole Diggers/Ground Raisers, allowing for precise terrain alteration.

What's changed since NAM Lite 1, the version bundled in with NAM 45?  Here's a list:

I still remember when SimCity 4 was officially announced over 20 years ago, and I pre-ordered the game, receiving it on January 16th, 2003. It was a big day for me, and I've been playing the game basically every day for many months, installing the first custom content, and the "Transit Bugfix" that was essentially the very beginning of the NAM development.

It's great to see that SC4 - and the NAM in particular - is going strong, and while I haven't played the game anymore in quite a while, I still follow the development on a more or less regular base. You guys really have outdone yourself, and I'm happy to see that the legacy of such an ancient, yet unsurpassed game is carried on even after two decades. &apls

Hello Tarkus and entire NAM Team  :) 

well done project  &apls

been messing around around with it for awhile now and still more to check out... a thorough type of package that leaves much to image...  :popcorn:

and a big big happy birthday to SC4deluxe...

i would that there be ways to get the word out more about SC4 its versions and what the NAM, the SC4 sites, is doing to this old game... it may stir up another round of interest

miss many of the old modders and bat builders... as they left too much unfinished...

anyway thanks guys for this simulator/ virtual train set

 :satisfied:

Can anyone tell me how to transition from 8S - 6S using Flex Transitions?   The main reason being is slope tolerance.8s to 6s transition with Flex withs.jpg

Hello @dyoungyn !

For these you gotta use the tile drop variant of the FLEX width transition pieces (FLEX-WTs). For the time being, this one supports all height levels of RHW-6S to 8S, but in the future it might support a few more widths.

These pieces (including the tile drop added in NAM 46) are slope-tolerant, as shown in the secret weapon reveal video of this feature, back in NAM 42. You just place them on your inclined terrain, making sure to match up the arrows with the lane drop side (in your screenshot, the lanes closer to the tall factories).

NAM 42 Secret Weapon Reveal #2 Video, at 5:17 to show the slope tolerance comparison. (https://youtu.be/cRGFpqIdfF4?t=317)

As a disclaimer, the variants which are not slope tolerant are the RHW-S to RHW-C width transitions, those have a more complicated programming which we couldn't make slope tolerant, like we did for all the others.
