Residential Population Halving Mod 1.0

What is this supposed to be some picture of a guy holding two bottles?

Why? Don't sense it this Pics? or somethings as weird!?

halving population give me a break ... it hard enough to get a good pop :P

wtf?!

lol nice pic

why? most of us play this game to either see how beautiful a city we can make or how large - or both - or an inventive layout.

Well, I reckon this is a good thing for people who play without downloads and prefer having realistic amounts of RCI zoning over having more population with unrealistic zoning distribution. Personally, I still prefer the industry quadrupler, though.

Interesting idea, I make me something approaching realistic suburbs.... and come on, dont have a go at the guy for the damned photo ! Read the text then whine !

I am not sure of automatically halving the populations, but I love the photo, it's a classic!! Absolute genius!

???

Damn. Just last week I spent a ton of time manually reducing all my residential populations... Why didn't this come out sooner? ;) Though, personally, I reduced mine even more. Most homes in my game hold, well, a family. 1-6 persons, with most holding 4. :)

Guys, give him a break. It may not be for everyone, but I'm sure the realism freaks who not only like to make their city LOOK real, but WORK real too would love this. It's just not everyone's thing. That's all.

This mod is certainly not for all those guys who try to reach one million residents. It is the logical consequence following the industy quadrupler and such - and I think it will make the game pretty realistic. Have you ever seen a one- or two-story private house with more than 5 or 6 inhabitants?

Obviously, some on the STEX don't like my picture of Mike Watt. Jam econo! :P No, this mod isn't for everyone. But if you want realism--and that's the spirit of the NAM and the IQM--this is for you.

Not everyone is in a race to see how many sardines they can stuff into a can. I like this approach. One thing I don

I like this - makes the game more realistic!

Nice job on this modd. It will be useful for many people.

Commerical services($$,$$$)quadrupler is also needed

accutly it seams to help quite a bit with the no job zots .as a matter of fact I dont recull a singel no job zot from 0 to 60,000 sims . I think that the amount of jobs is more constrated helping

Would be nice to go with a mod that makes pedestrian traffic willing to travel a lot further, and making more realistic balance of transport use. This driving 100m to the train station is kind of odd. Well I'm going to give it a go.

What a great idea! I'm proud to play without wanting to reach 1 000 000 000 000 Sims in my cities!!!

Cool! Realism at last. Good Job!

xcalbier: I have play-tested this quite a bit and you do get no job zots with high-wealth properties. This may or may not be realistic; the game is entirely too willing to build high-wealth housing "on spec," as it were.

bloo: check out the Network Addon Mod (commonly known as the NAM), which radically improves the game's traffic model.

Simple and effective idea. Not all people in R$ buildings have eleven children, after all - though the tabloids might make you think otherwise here in the UK at least :D A useful tool for realism purposes.
