Are they Not working?
The best test is to stop a Sim traveling over the bridge and then making them walk off the bridge. If they can walk off then animals can cross which means your bridge is good.
If your bridge doesn't work, get rid of the road pieces between the bridges. Join the bridges by their end tabs. Use a bit of land to join them.
Which paint is giving you trouble? That's the one not to use.
Export the world and test it in game to see how they work. If a Sim can stop on those little islands you have connecting them and don't get stuck while still being able to cross over all the bridges, then you have no problems.
I don't place sections when connecting bridges because they're Not needed if the bridge end tabs overlay each other.
Go to View (on your tool panel) and click on View- Show Routing Data. Check your routing lines over the bridges.
I've used turned retaining walls to look like support.
Here some more picturs
You see that small area of white lines which look cut off from the rest of the map - that's a problem. You should either make it so there is a way out of it or cover it with routing paint.
Is there a reason the routing paint is right up to it, on the right side of the shown map?
Btw sry for ma bad grammar.. maybe this helps better.. The lot is unimportant
Not the lot- the other side of your map. That little area on the corner of the road and fence. It's a spot which can cause problems.
As long as the road works (test in game) then it's fine with the light blue line going into the water. Always check in game.
EIG doesn't load?
How much store stuff do you have installed?
You can't test the bridge in EIG any more. Time was stopped by EA years ago so no Sims nor cars move in EIG for testing.
EIG doesn't like too much store.
Remember, you can decorate the houses once you actually play the finished world.
My bridges now are working! Sims/ Cars can cross the bridge withouth "funky" moves
Have still some problems with the wooden bridges. Maybe u know more 'bout this. Where is the "real ending" of the wooden bridge?
Greetings and thanks again for ya help!
Example: Wooden bridge. Confused with the "end"
I'm so glad you got the bridges working.
