[Ceiling Cat 0]

I have the NAM installed and the industry quadruperler  however some of my larger buildings are sitll being abandoned due to commute time, any help in resolving this issue would be much apreciated.

What traffic option did you chose for NAM? You may need to check the traffic congestion or the wealth level of the sims in the abandoned buildings looking for jobs.

I'm not sure what you mean by traffic option, however the buildings were low wealth high rises and I had not recieved any congestion complaints from my advisors.

Is there low demand on Residential?

When installing the newest version of NAM, there is an option to select the type of path finding the game uses (standard, better, perfect, A, or B). If you just clicked through the setup, it installed the standard game files. If there doesn't seem to be any congestion problem, you may need to check what the demand levels are compared to the type of jobs available. For instance, if low wealth high rises are abandoning, you may need more jobs for low wealth jobs for them to find. Just some thoughts...

I get that too, but for commute times. The Aberage is only 50 min though.

this issue seems sort of similar to one of my newest issues im trying to pull myself out of in my thread about seperate res and commercial zones. if you wanna try and stay tuned there i try and provide pics of problems and solutions that may help you as well.

This brings up a question.  Is it possible for Ceiling Cat (or anyone else) to change the path finding option after the NAM has been installed?

yes, in your plugin folder there is a nam directory with the pathfinder dat in it. remove that (cut/move, or delete) and then reinstall nam selecting the new one you wish to use.

Excellent, thanks. That will help me see the result of the different options.
