This is a set of American styled highway road assets.

These are very plug-and-play. You'll need the two listed dependencies, but once you have it all subscribed, they'll behave exactly how you'd expect roads to behave. If you can use the vanilla highways, you can use these. How much or how little you mod them is entirely up to you.

The workshop already includes several American highway/freeway assets, but I wanted a set of roads to fit the specifications for a few projects that I have planned and one that would be easy to include as a dependency for my future maps. It's impossible to have a network that checks every box for every player; use whatever works best for you!


- Ground, elevated, bridge, and tunnel models for each main network. Some networks include limited variants.

- Rendered tunnels with tunnel lights that stay on during the day.

- Yellow lines always render in the correct locations.

- American traffic lights and rail crossings.

- Narrower elevated and bridge segments.

- Asphalt texture depends mostly on your map theme. Lighter road textures will have more obvious "tire shadows" while darker roads textures will have more seamless nodes.

- Minimal prop use. I only included "functional" props like traffic lights and street lights. Signage, decals, etc are up to your preference.


Listing all the tri counts for a network pack like this is essentially futile and might be misleading because of the way networks behave, but suffice to say that these should have comparable impact to the vanilla roads. The meshes are very simple by network standards.

Most textures in this pack are shared several times over, so Loading Screen Mod will reduce the vast majority of RAM impact from this collection.


As I mentioned, these require no mods to use, but the following recommendations can help you get the most out of them. Make sure to read the descriptions of any mods you use.

- Move It, Fine Road Tool 2, and Fine Road Anarchy 2 combine to give you complete control over your networks.

- Node Controller and Intersection Marking Tool make seamless merge lanes a breeze!

- Network Skins 2 allows you to change or remove street lights, change the gravel to pavement, etc.


I have more network releases planned, including a set of national roads and some bridges. International variants of these models are possible eventually.

However - and I can't stress this enough - networks take *so much time* to make. SO MUCH TIME. And unlike my trees, they aren't particularly fun to work on either. Even a small variation can mean re-texturing, re-uploading, and re-testing several models. Therefor, I won't be taking any requests for networks; you can leave feedback that I might consider for the future but I just don't have nearly enough time to fit everyone's network needs.

Further, changing a network asset in any way runs a high risk of breaking save games, so I won't be updating these assets at all. If changes are necessary then I'll release a new version of them.

In the event that you really want an altered version of these, I will make my source files available upon request. I can't help you learn asset creation from scratch but if you *already have network creation experience* then I may be able to help you navigate these files. I don't mean to sound harsh, it's just hard to overstate how soul crushing networks are to work on.


Special thanks to my testers who helped me identify and fix various bugs before I released these!

- Redstonebuildz, don, Kaybs, Strategy Nerd, BonBonB, Evil.Iguana, Cyber Scythe X

Additional thanks to:

- Feare, for the traffic lights that I modeled mine off of.

- Strategy Nerd, for the American rail crossings I used as a dependency.

- Clus, whos roads I studied extensively while learning how to model networks, and whos concrete highways I used as the starting point for configuring these. Clus also answered several questions I had!

- hockenheim95, who helped me work through configuration questions, particularly with traffic lights.

- Evil.Iguana, who tracked down the root cause of several bugs that had eluded me.
