Imaginary Jobs

[silverwood 0]

Ok I have my largest city in the region, LaGrande, with about 44,000 sims. Now the area near downtown is far from the industrial sector so I put industry in the next town over, Edgarton, to generate jobs. Next to that town is the extremly small town of Roseburg, pop. 103 with 3 $$CS. But almost 1,000 people from LaGrande are driving straight through Edgarton to Roseburg where there are no jobs available, and when I play Roseburg, the 1,000 LaGrande people aren't there.

This also happens in my small port town of Pennington. There is a small island in the bay that has been developed. A small part of that island is part of another city: Needham. On the Needham part of the island there are 6 houses. This island is not connected to the rest of Needham where there are jobs. Nevertheless 400 people drive from Pennington to Needham, but they are not found when I play Needham.

I'm very confused, and this is messing with unemployment rates in these cities, anyone know what I'm going through? I have very few mods. Sorry about the confusing directions, I'd put up pictures but I can't right now.

Yes there are "phantom jobs" as long as there are network connections.. its a normal part of SC4.. It should not "mess up" any of your work.. I believe there may be more extended info on this in the Omnibus forum under the forums section
