This is a significant change from all previous simulators, and it's an important point to remember when planning your transportation infrastructure. In combination with the pathfinder upgrading, this allows buses to be counted toward traffic and congestion, just like all other vehicles. The second major area of work on the NAM Simulator involved a more flexible distribution of traffic among the various travel types. Finally, running the pathfinder with near-optimum settings allows the simulator to run up to several times as fast as previous traffic simulators. As in the real world, zones can be farther apart without causing problems this is especially helpful when building existing cities to scale. Better pathfinding also means that Sims act much smarter about finding jobs and routes to them this also results in less abandonment due to commute time. At the same time, the congestion that does exist no longer leads to abandonment due to commute time Sims know that they occasionally have to sit through traffic jams, and are a bit more patient. These changes allow a smoother distribution of traffic throughout the city, with typically less congestion. Also, the Sims' maximum commute time was increased to be closer to real-world conditions. One of the main ways this was accomplished was by using a much more accurate version of the "perfect pathfinding" heuristic than had been available in previous traffic simulators. One of the main areas of the work on the NAM Simulator involved increasing the efficiency of the pathfinder to close to its theoretical maximum. However, many of these versions were never released together with the NAM, and so most people will be seeing the features they contained for the first time here. Since the NAM Simulator evolved from Simulator Z, many of the features listed here for the NAM Simulator were also present in various versions of Simulator Z. The TSCT is available as an option in the NAM installer when the option "I want to build a custom simulator" is chosen it is also available as part of the NAM Traffic Subsystem. What makes this possible is the Traffic Simulator Customization Tool (TSCT), which can be used to customize the NAM Simulator in any of these ways, and it also allows the ordinary player to safely customize the traffic simulator in ways that were not possible previously. It uses the Simulator Z core what makes it a unified simulator is that it makes available to the player all the main features found in all previous traffic simulators. The NAM Unified Traffic Simulator (or the NAM Simulator, for short) is a traffic simulator that is derived from the original Maxis traffic simulator, but is also built upon the knowledge gained from all previous NAM traffic simulators, including work by the7trumpets, Tropod, jplumbley, Mott, and z.
