Increase the amount of cars on road

[alexsmith8526]

Is there a mod that increases the amount of general traffic in towns as i see 1 or 2 cars around the towns any mods so i get to see more

I don't know of any mods that increase the number of cars on the road.

However, you can increase them over time by increasing your population, and decreasing the availability of public transport. Private cars are used when the cims want to go places they can't get to via public transport or walking.

I once used the "natural town growth" mod to significantly increase my population, and the side effect of this was huge numbers of cars on the roads.

Cheers,

The year determines the likelihood that someone owns a car. Up to, I think around 2020, at which point the maximum ratio of car owners is reached. However the likelihood of a car owner using a car depends on accessibility to public transport that takes them to their destination. The better and more comprehensive your public network the less likely someone will use their car.

I am unaware of whether there is any mod that changes any of this.

Yer my transport network is good and would look out of place in the UK lol so hence prob why cars low thanks

If we had good public transport, we wouldn't need so many cars... A man can dream

(I'm not talking about the game)

Hi, the Fall update added new traffic simulation features that significantly reduced the amount of private road vehicles. So you could degrade your public transport options to create more private traffic ("UK mode ON" lol), or maybe switch back to the previous game release version.

Your roads will be POSITIVELY SWAMPED with cars, as in ENDLESS GRIDLOCK EVERYWHERE, mods absolutely not needed.

If anything the opposite is needed; mods or other tools that REDUCE private transportation.

he asks a mod that means he wants a mod so give him what he asks dont tell he dont need

the best way to get town full of traffic and population is the common api mod which u wont find on steam but extern page

https://www.transportfever.net/filebase/entry/4806-commonapi2/

if this correct installed u get a new menu on top screen that can edit many things and one of these is the popular factor but be warned if too high to many cars will stuck so soo long in traffic as they go little step by step only foward

Sure, just increase the population of the towns. Many ways to do that, such as Sandbox and editing town sizes and/or adding/replacing towns with larger ones, or using population altering mods such as Population Factor or Town Tuning.

On a more local and customizable level, you can plop assets with residential population AND road access - as in a physical road entrance, just like one created by truck stations and depots, and not merely catchment area access.

Best one would be this one, as you can freely customize it to your liking:

Do not forget to set street entrance to ON.

Populated assets without street entrances will only be able to generate pedestrians, good if you want to add public transport traffic, not so good if you want to add vehicular traffic.

...playing the game well.

Give a cluster of ten towns excellent public and private transport, fully satisfy their goods demands, and those towns will veritably EXPLODE in size. This will positively SWAMP your roads with traffic, to - and beyond - the point where your roads can't handle the amount of traffic, and likely also tanking your computer's performance.

You can increase the effect public and private connections (traffic) as well as goods supply have when you start a new game. Upping these settings to 200% sets the conditions for massive cities (several thousand inhabitants) with insane traffic.

If your aim is to increase the number of cars on the road, then I disagree on the excellent public transport part. That's how I play my maps and I rarely have any issues with cars on the roads. The cims will select public transport over private cars, so if you remove the public transport, then they will revert to cars.

If increasing the population is your strategy, there is a good thread with lots of ideas to be found here. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1066780/discussions/0/3879346999825598874/

At the end of all that, I had far more traffic than I could deal with, but it was fun trying to get it flowing somewhat smoothly.

Cheers,
Chris.
