Have you used the grid tool in <abbr title="MegaMod">MM</abbr>?
i have, but find it is not big enough for my purposes. i like making a huge plan, and pulling the view all the way back to see long roads making arrow swift travel in my towns. comes from being from a fly-over state, i guess, wide-open areas with fast roads.
i also put down roads, lay buildings, pause buildings then delete roads. but not as often as i used to because, i'm also starting to use wider roads now and if i delete all the roads before they're built i may not remember what i intended to do (i'm old). and because i'm adding gaps for future home landscaping. one of my folks may decide to start baking in the back yard and selling her cherry pie at the farmers market, or someone may decide to keep bees, or put in a well. not to mention all the deco i should definitely use more of... (wow way to mangle a sentence.) and finally because i may not un-pause enough of them very fast. i don't like to keep un-built items on pause too long, especially fields and pastures, because the timber starts to fall away. all that potential firewood...
my initial road lay-out is always spacious (flat maps really work for me) and letting the key intersections get built really helps me stick to my "vision."
