Those puzzle pieces have always confused me so much so i never really tried playing with them. So this was really helpful!

[WhisperSwede]

Thanks to you I started playing Sc4 again after more than 15 years. I couldn't get a hang of the game back then, always fell short on money... Now my region prospers! Hopefully more people will find their way back to this great game - you deserve much more views for these awesome videos!

This is incredible. Within a few minutes, you basically covered a lot of stuff in an efficient manner, and that was wonderful. Definitely looking forward to any future videos like this.

And, I noticed, when you zoomed in to do the underpass, apparently, the NAM team has already thought of the vents for the underground routes, so, it seems you won't really be needing anything for them when you do long stretches. They're very small, but, they're still there. It's tiny little squares on the edges of the tile, usually lined up with the ends of the network that's underneath the tile.

Either the advantage of the roundabout is lost, or you dukes of hazard your way across. XD

I almost gave up when I first tried to understand and use NAM, until I found your video. It's so nice to have some well balanced, explained and up to date tutorials, neither too basic nor overwhelming. The whole series is excellent and really helps me. I'm so glad I didn't begin playing SC4 a few months earlier because I probably would have stopped too soon without you, thanks !

[UniqueBreakfastTaco]

Didn't know people still play this. I used to be on the NAM team, like 10 years ago 😁

[opalyankaBG]

Thanks for this! I played SC4 for years but abandoned it in 2013 when I started university. Just redownloaded NAM and wow, so many changes for the past 10 years! This should help me refresh things I used to know and learn about the new additions.

I can't believe such an amazing soundtrack was used for this game. I used to enjoy it alot when i was a kid and i'd become a musician later

[Giru]

Been fiddling around with the NAM for a bit, and this has been so helpful! Thanks a lot.

I was always shy of adding mods to simcity 4, though I mod all games. This simplified explanation is great! Thanks for blowing away questions, i might be modding my game now

[interuniversal]

One of the best organised tutorial videos I've ever seen. Thanks so much.

[rmcrae]

thank you!!! The NAM makes my head spin, too many options for my little brain. You have really made sense of it! This video is bookmarked and I will be watching it again and again.

[Kkffoo]

Thank you for a very useful insight into NAM. This make tings so much easier than random experimenting!

I’ve just returned to SC4 after 5 years on a new PC, so after the trauma (I’m not very tech savvy) of installing NAM39 I was baffled by the new mods. Thank you so much for this descriptive (idiots😉) guide. 👍 Add one more subscriber!

[conoroneill]

Congratulations on getting 1, 000 subscribers!!!

[theunseenfool]

hey man i just wanted to say thank you for the video here all the way in 2024 (i picked up this game on base when i was kid for like 6 bucks and have always thought it would be cool with mods) Would love to see and updated version since there is a newer version of NAM and it has the canal plug in access. LOVE THE CONTENT

Correction to your comment at time 7:30 - you don't need home and end to rotate. For laptops you can use function + left or right to rotate pieces

[eugeneeijun]

Wow thank you... really really helpful.. been playing sc4 like more than a decade, just found out how to make the slope road thingy..

[null_subject]

Hell yeah. Great idea—awesome SC4 content. Keep it coming my guy!

[Pakistani]

[schmootheonly]

Your tutorials have been so helpful. btw you sound so much like Nathan Fielder and your pfp kind of looks like him, so I keep seeing him narrate your videos
