Hawaii Towns & Streets

Play in Hawaii: 131 real towns from Honolulu to Hilo, real streets for your bus stops, and real names for train stations, airports and harbours.

Pick the name set "Hawaii (Towns & Streets)" for a new game. Then just build: every new Road Stop and station in a known city gets a real local name a moment after you place it.

Features

• Hawaii towns: a name set with 131 real towns and places, from big cities to plantation villages, beach towns and upcountry ranch towns (US Census Bureau data).
• Towns that suit your map: a new game picks its towns by the map's climate. Temperate maps: mostly upcountry (Waimea, Volcano, Kula), plus the Big Island, Maui County (Maui, Molokai, Lanai) and Kauai. Dry maps: mostly the leeward coasts (Kona, Kihei, Waianae), plus Maui County (Maui, Molokai, Lanai) and Oahu. Subarctic maps: mostly upcountry (Waimea, Volcano, Kula), plus the Big Island. Tropical maps: mostly Oahu, plus the Big Island, Maui County (Maui, Molokai, Lanai) and Kauai. Climates from other mods use the whole state.
• Real street names: new Road Stops in 13 cities (Honolulu, Pearl City, Hilo, …) are named after their real streets, like Kalakaua Avenue or Alii Drive: 299 streets in all, never twice in the same town.
• Hawaii-style streets everywhere else: other towns draw their stop names from 123 street names in the local style (mauka and makai, plumeria, koa and kukui, native birds, plantation camps and numbered streets).
• Real station names: new train stations, airports and harbours in 20 cities get real names, like Waikiki, Pearlridge or Kona International Airport (11 rail stations, 14 airports, 4 harbours).
• Neighbourhood names: new bus and tram stations in 2 cities are named after real neighbourhoods (51 in all).
• Everything else follows: industries, depots and their stations are named after your Hawaii towns by the game itself.

Settings

• Real street names (default On): renames new Road Stops in known cities after their real streets.
• Real station names (default On): renames new train stations, bus and tram stations, airports and harbours in known cities.

Notes

• Unlike a plain name set, this mod also renames the stops and stations you build after real streets, stations and neighbourhoods in their city.
• Street and station names also work with any other name set, in towns that carry a Hawaii city's name (rename a town to Honolulu and its next stop is on a real Honolulu street).
• Only renames what you build, right after you build it. Existing stops and stations are never touched, and neither are your own renames.
• Cosmetic only, safe to add to an existing save. A game started with the "Hawaii (Towns & Streets)" name set needs this mod to load; in any other save, removing it keeps the names already given and stops renaming.
• Hawaii is the smallest state in this series: every Census place in Hawaii is an unincorporated community (CDP), so the list has about 130 towns. Real streets cover 13 towns; every other town uses the Hawaii-style street list. Names are plain ASCII (no okina or kahako), as Census and most street signs write them.
• Not affiliated with the "Hawaii Names" mod; all lists here are our own.
