Question???

[tycoonsimraider123 16]

does anybody know why when i zone a section of my city, then let it run, nothing comes up(by this i mean residential, the others work just fine). Then when something is built, it gets abondoned because it is not connected to road even though it is???

does anybody know how to stop this?

Nothing is building on your residential lot most likely because demand for R is down. Check out your RCI graph....you really need it to run a successful city. When they are abandoned, it's probably, again, due to low demand. Make sure you have plenty of jobs for yours Sims. Commercial, Industrial, and the buildings you can place yourself. make sure you have a good transportation system, power, water...all the important necessities.

Demand is high, but it still gets abondoned because the game thinks there is no road, but there is

I expect your road construction has some problems in the way you have designed it.. you'll have to show a picture

I'm guessing that you're building to meet the wrong type of demand. If there's a demand for high income R, and you zone in an area that has very low land values, you simply won't get high income residents moving in.

Also, there might be issues with your commute times. That sometimes causes the no road connection zots.

I have one question. What does plazas do?

Have a nice day!

Dary_SLO, you should have created a new discussion thread for your question as it is unrelated to the current discussion. However, plazas are needed by commercial zones just as parks are needed by residencial. Plazas help to increase desirability and demand for commerce.

As per tycoonsimraider123, I sometimes have the same problem, but if I let the simulation run for a few months the problem clears itself up; the no-road zots disappear and development occurs normally. I have no idea why this happens, but mabye you just need to let the simulation run for awhile.

This is what i am talking about. I also need to tell you that i am using the NAM 2008 version and no other traffic controler and i am pretty sure this should not be happening.



This is what happens when something is built finally. This usually happens when i reach 30,000 people in a city.

I also want to know how i can improve the speed of the game because it is hecka slow!
