Rural Highway Magic Wall?

[PlyPlay665 0]

Okay, I've been having this problem in my game where I have lots of jobs, but everyone is all, "I can't find any jobs!"

Well, I was starting to get a little angry, and wondered if they would go to the jobs if they lived next door to the things. And they did! And I made a large Block of houses and they all had jobs! Then I destroyed the Rural Highway Intersection, and all the people complaining got work!

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I don't understand what the heck is wrong! SOME had jobs, so that means it works atleast a little. What is with them not finding jobs?

I have NAM with Simulator Z Ultra.

You might want to try out the "Census Repository" mod from SC4Devotion (BSC LEX) .. there is an earlier version on ST, but the latest is over there.. to verify your demand BY WEALTH.. often times you will have plenty of jobs and plenty of residents but they are the wrong mix of R$, $$ and $$$ for the jobs you have

Maybe the overpass was eyecandy?

No, the overpass should work.

Maybe this is caused by a LHD/RHD problem. Check if there are any Left-Hand-Drive plugins are in your NAM folder.

I'll try the Census Repository, but if they get the jobs when I get rid of the bridge, doesn't it mean that there are plenty for everyone?

And for the NAM one, I checked, and everything that mentions the side of road to drive on says "Right".

Have you checked the pathing of that overpass? If you have the cheat plugin installed, press ctrl-X, right-click in the little window that appears and select "DrawPaths" --> this will visualize your paths, so you can easily check whether the path over the overpass is broken somewhere.

i thnk what happened was that in that picture the road overpass that you passed was for RHW 4 rather than RHW 2

It looks like it from the picture, but I can't tell for sure without a zoom-in.

I messed up on an overpass in one of my cities before (wrong striping for the RHW-4), but that did not prevent Sims from taking the overpass itself (they just refused to use the RHW).

One other thing to look at is each ramp of the interchange(s).  If the striping is wrong, they will not get on the ramp.

PlyPlay665, I'm just curious. . . have any Sims actually used that highway?

I had a few LHD issues with my cities, installed both NAM and RHW as left hand drive, but roundabouts would still default to RHD or something. ended up just swiching to pure RHD in frustration.

I know the whole thing is good. I've double Checked, tried it on different towns, etc. I have all the Downloads Necessary. People drive on, and over the Rural Highway, so that's not a problem either. I'm only using the Bridges and stuff that came with Rural Highway, so it isn't some other odd - end Bridge thing. I seriously don't get why it isn't working. I stopped using it for a while, but I mean, it's so pretty, and nicer to look at than the EAxis version of highway, plus that's the only highway we have here anyways.

Also, information on the photos up ahead, the town was growing, very nice. It had a Rural Highway two Lane version going through it, but was basically just a road, because you could easily get on it from the main roads. (Wanted to keep Interersections on it small.) Everyone had jobs, in fact the Demand for people was VERY high, but the Highway was used so much, that it was all red for Conjestion, so I upgraded it to Rural Highway 4. Well, seeing as you can't have roads going in it, I decided to build Intersections. Checked HUNDREDS of times to see if everything was right. People drive on and through the highway, yet since pushing the "Turtle Speed" after done (I pause when building stuff like this) The "I have no Job" thing started popping up on half the City. Which WASN'T happening before I upgraded. I didn't tear out any Jobs, just Residential, so technically, then, I should have MORE open Jobs. Gah!

Here are photos:

Let it be known, that this WAS NOT HAPPENING before I replaced RH2 with the RH4.

As you can see, people get on.

As you can see, there are PLENTY of jobs to go around.

Not only are there plenty of Jobs, but tons of different ways to get to the Jobs (That's right, the Rural Highway isn't the only way.)

I mean, you could say, "Oh, maybe it is another Plugin." I know it isn't because this only happens when I use overpasses.

Intresting

it might be either the jobs that are available are not suited to the wealth level of the residence or that the interchanges are not functional. that's all i can think of..i think there are 3 wealth classes but 9 different types of workers (im not 100 % on this) but if you showed a break down of available jobs vs. available workers one could assess if that was the problem or not.
