CAM's or no CAM's???

[hammypotter 0]

hi everyone, I have been playin wiz the CAM for about 3 months and my region pop have reached 330000 and now I have come across some problems so i would like to ask some of u out there who might have some experiences wiz CAM. ok so here it is,

1. My goal is not to built a region wiz HUGE population , but still i am stuck wiz the fact that buildings r not growin very fast ( or i should say  R$$ & R$$$ demands r like always half of R$ ) .
also, i just cant get anymore R$ highdensity to build sucessfully  even though its demand is very very high. I want to know if this is normal or not.

2. I also notice demand for COM & IND r high but when i use the commute query and click on a COM office, lets say with 1000 jobs, but the query has only like total of few hundreds of sim commutin to that building.(of course I use the normal query but then it shows that there r really 1000 jobs all full.....) so what is the explaination of this???

3. how do u find about CAM ??? does it make game play easier for u ? My opinion is I really love how the road capacity is a lot more realistic but even after 3 months of tryin.... I am still not very sure if I am handling the MOD correctly. 

4.last , is it possible to put a demand MOD on top of the CAM mod???  And ( i really love some of the great CJ works here), do they use CAM as well??? since in normal game play,
streets only have a very low capacity but i see many CJ mayors have nice suburbs with all streets only and it doesn't seem like they have a huge traffic/commute problem....

well..... thanks for ur time reading this and hope to hear some good advice soon.

No CAM for me . It turns the game into something it wasn't designed for in my opinion.

If you would like to find out more aboutthe CAM, Simtropolis is not the place. It was developed at, and is downloadable at SC4 Devotion, not ST, so I do not see the need to discuss it here.

Best,

Hello Namesys,

If you have higher wealth (R$$ and R$$$) lots that actually grow on 2-wide-by-4-deep residential zones, then you have obviously downloaded higher wealth 2x4 residential lots - as the original game had only one low wealth residential building on a 2x4 lot. And, at least in my humble opinion, downloaded/plugins content is always an exception to the original content/context.

Please don't confuse this with 2-deep-by-4-wide zones; and the lot editor does show the lot in question to be mis-named (0x300003a0 R$8_4x2 ... i.e. Residential, low-wealth, stage-8, 4-wide by 2-deep - when you open this lot - it actually shows as 2-wide by 4-deep).

No detail is too small to be micromanaged.

4x4 high density residential zones grow all day for me. There are quite a few with that lot size aswell.

I would like to know what the best size to zone for hi-rise commerce is though.

NetPCDoc,

Oh yea, seam like i've mixed 2x4 and 4x2 to be the same and misread his post. Sorry, it won't happen again.

I think hi-rise R$$+ grow on

4x2, 3x3, 3x4, 4x3 and 4x4. If you know any other R$$+ lot's highrise please post
