nope. keep the high density. it is the land value that you need to be aware of.

some people usually try to distance public utilities from houses so that the residence land value stay at minimum.

also take note, getting to the hi-rise condo sometimes is kinda slow compare to hi-wealth condo

Thanks........

Also, do you guys have this issue where all your buses stick together and take the same paths? =\
Earlier I had 90% of my buses on the same road =[

That's GlassBox for you. Everything clumping together. =\

Regarding population, I am sure many have told you already. Yours are High Wealth. They use up more space. Mine are mainly low wealth and a few medium wealth. In my region with my friends, everyone wants to be glamorous with their Education Hub or Tourist Center, Holiday Destination and all.. so I had to be the "India" for them and provide the real population and work etc. LOL.

Anyway, when you build parks, notice how there different park categories have different wealth symbols? $ vs $$ vs $$$?

That represents that kind of wealth of people you will attract. Once you build things that provides $$, you'll start attracting medium wealth folks and etc.

That aside... I can't seem to connect or play anything. =\

Just got back from work and wanted to wind down and give it a go. Pfft.. Try to fix something but end up the game is even more broken than before. My friend who managed to get in said pollution is worst as well. Random air pollution will be popping up from empty spaces and all. =\

Get you shit together EA.. seriously..
*
Sorry I didn't understand your earlier one...
Now I've understood it...
My parks were all $$$, heck, my entire city was high wealth... I thought taller towers meant more space to accommodate more... T_T

One more thing... I'm now into Drilling...
My HQ needs quite a lot of profit to upgrade... It says Petroleum profit..

If I sell Fuel, is it considered?

Because... Crude Oil is drilled, and converted to Plastics or Fuel at Oil Refinery...

How do I get my sims to be educated?
My neighbor city (actually it's my own) has elementary, high, college & university but my sims aren't going for classes !! How come?

I do have buses & school buses on both city's roads all over...
and in region view there is the arrow showing that people are going to my other city for education...

But all my sims are still "Not enrolled"?

education is a bit buggy...not sure its fixed in update 2.0 or not but

try to demolish those house/ condo with "no longer enrolled"

it should fix those problem
*
Demolishing them didn't fix it tho...

Any idea how to increase tech level? Education right?
Cos my primary city has industry level 3 tech, I think it was after I built a college...

Now my second city has zero education (I expect them to all goto neighbor/primary city for it)...
Shouldn't my tech level increase too?

yes. seems like the bus routing is still broken. so much for high hopes in 2.0 haha. guess have to wait till june 22nd then.

Education got problem, cannot get them to school. I even build 5 schools, with max buses didn't even work. And you're right demolish will not work. Let them be stupid then.

Are you playing sandbox, i guess your city very small, so it clumps near the places with high density. As your density spread out bigger, should be okay.
*
I'm not playing sandbox.
I have like ~200 extra desks. When I add till like ~600 extra desks, then they started going to the other city for school. But it only lasted for a short moment. They then stopped going and complained no school -.-

Now I have another bigger issue...
- residences complain no shopping nearby when there are commercial zone nearby (non-hotels). They don't wanna shop!! Until the commercial zones become "closing because no shoppers". Right across the road only !!

- lots of my places become "closed, hiring" (not enough workers). But why? My residential zones completely outnumber the amount of industry zones. And my neighboring city has 170k population with barely any industry (well, two recycling and one processor factory)


One more thing guys, referring to specialization > upgraded hq > additional division.
Do u guys close down the entire hq? Can save the maintenance cost. Only reopen when u wanna plop any modules/buildings... Are there any side effects by doing so?

Also is it possible to delete a city and restart? Or wipe and pass ownership?
A new start meaning no pollution and start with 50k. Only on a city. Not entire region.

It seems that none of my tourists are taking my street cars...

My stations are all in front of my landmarks, casinos, train station, ferry terminal, municipal airport, and bus station (that largest one).

Can tourists actually ride street cars?
I have like 4k tourists and my street cars all empty.

Also, do locals go to casinos, stadiums or landmarks?
Or is it only limited to tourists?
The simcity wiki seems so shitty. Barely any information.

You don't need street cars, use railway. Street car not cost effective and they don't bring in tourist. The best way is still proper planing or build bridge and tunnels.
Tourist do use street cars and bus only if it leads to somewhere.
Casino i kinda forget (long time never play casino, and i don't remember locals going gambling or else they will be profitable even with 0 tourist), but 2 landmarks that i usually built has goods. Sears tower has high wealth goods, and Empire state building has medium wealth goods. Goods sold do not contribute to profit hence lower taxable income. Kinda like Vu Tower. Doesn't matter anyway cause once landmark are build, you will run out of goods to sell because most of your commercial is converted hotels.
*
My map is completely flat. I think tunnels or bridges won't help.

I didn't know landmarks sell goods... I thought only pay to visit or schedule event...

Currently my gambling city can't get much tourists... Cap at 4k for more than a year already...
Only one other city in the region with ~170k population.. .
170k and only a max of 4k tourists ?

Ugh....... I noticed that ONE my TV Assembly Line was producing at 2400/day and THREE others were at 1200/day...

I demolished the 3 others and re-plopped them, and they all now work at 2400/day, even though the tooltip says it should be producing at 3600/day...

Same issue happened to a few of my processor assembly lines... Re-plop to fix...



and now even weirder...
One of my processor assembly line is producing at 3600/day, the tooltip only mentions 2400/day !!

99% of my sims are educated. I have grade, high, college and uni in the city. So my worker's efficiency should be maximum (as stated in tooltip) right? hmm.gif

You are wrong.

Smooth Supply chain effect the production rate as well.
How smooth the supply can reach your factory, any traffic jams?
my record for maxed upgrade Processor factory = 9600/Day if you can keep the supply NON-STOP.
And about the street cars,
Plop them to avoid the traffic jams around Tourist Spot and your Region Entrance.

Tourist DO NOT RIDE Street cars, but tourist hate traffic jams. especially the at the region entrance.
*
Thanks...
However, my alloy & plastics for the factory is always above 20%... The recycling plants & depot are on the same road with low traffic...

BTW,
can anyone try gifting money?
I'm on ASIA2 and have lost >30mil in several transactions... All of them have the message about gift success but the other party never receives it...

Usually need to wait a bit longer to receive the money, but when sending the money, once the message appeared that tells the gifting is successful, it's better to wait for a while..Then, can proceed to another region and wait for money to come..

I used to send money when the city suffered some very bad traffic jam; need to wait the armored truck or money truck to get my money and when sending it out of my city, the truck stuck in traffic jam like in 5 hours in-game time..lol..
*
My traffic on both cities are quite good. It shouldn't take more than one day game time.
It's been more than a decade game time, still not received.
I guess it's permanently lost.

Using High Desity Road?
Try observe how to delivery truck travel between factory and depot.
Sometime the Highway need to go very far to make u-turn... try to plop a u-turn to short-cut it.

----------

Self Gifting Money, 2 thing 2 check :

1st, Before you switch to the receiver city, make sure the "Money Delivery" Truck is reach the destination city.
( I have experiences it took more than 20hours game time but the 20M didnt reach. but once i switch back to the donor city for 5 minutes, and switch back to receiver city, money come.)
2nd, Then you switch to the Receiver city and make sure wait. It takes times.
*
Yes, already using high density road... I did observe the trucks, they seem to be delivering fine. My processor factory's material stocks never goes below 20%... The depot, recycling plant and proc. factory are all really close together...


Yes, I did ensure that the truck got to my city hall, picked up the money and went to the destination city...
Then the message will show, saying it has been delivered.

But when I switch over, still not received...
It has been many many game-time years and still nothing

Btw my city has zero traffic issues view full size

If the money gift still not received, try sending a second time or more....Once sent, I guess it's better to exit to main menu first, then go to the region that you sent money to...Probably the server did not properly save the progress when switching the region..
*
Hmm, I tried that and it still sometimes get lost... But the chances of it working is much higher (say 50%)



Also, anyone have an idea of what does 44,881 mean?
I have already collected all the recyclables in the entire city. No green bars when using the garbage view

would that be a bug then? The thing that I know is that the 44k is the total of recyclables generated in your city daily. I can't remember if the big number will increase when the truck collects, or when the truck collects & dumps at recycle center.
*
Probably a bug I guess...

Also I found out one thing about my cities..
There is this new city I claimed, when I use my cities A and B to send money to it, it will NEVER receive... (I've tried the quit at main menu so it saves data too)

But when I use my city C to send money, it will always receive... (Don't even need to quit at main menu. Once it says sent, I straight away Load the city and it'll receive within 30sec)

Bloody hell something is so fked up... doh.gif





One more thing, if you're experiencing the bug where your city does not receive the money gift.......
- Check if the truck is parked permanently at your destination's city hall (it's stuck). If yes then follow below steps.
- Turn off your city hall so that the money truck will exit the building
- Once it has left the city hall and on the road, pause the game, destroy your town hall and destroy your city's entrance/exit to the region. Cos I don't want the truck to exit city with your money in it
- Plop the town hall again, resume game
- The trucks will automatically go to your new city hall and deliver $, reconnect road to region

I got once traffic problem because I build the bus terminal near the entrance main road and it slow the traffic down because some car went there for work or bus drop people etc. This is same when I suddenly build a nuclear power plant (require a lot workers) and everyone went for the jobs causing the traffic not smooth enough. Everything was fine after I removed it.

Hmmm... I'll try that, thanks.

Sent stocks in, but it seems that it doesn't receive, all 3 required goods are about ~60%, stuck


And every time I check it, the amount of goods received is different, at times, it is FULL >_>
This is when every city has stopped sending goods

I think if you have ,multiple cities sent multiple goods in, it will get stuck.

What I do is to elect each city to send a specific good into the archeology, ie: alloy. When my alloy is full, I hops on to another city and send the second material, then the third. Do it one by one.

When all materials gathered, wait for the construction to complete then hop from one city to another to "cut the ribbon"

Currently I'm doing 1 by 1 and it still seems to be stuck..
Should I, or is there a way to cancel and rebuild the entire great works?
