    Can't figure this one out, no matter what I do, all of my businesses show low customers in sc4. I know supposedly customers are calculated based on the road traffic at/near the business, so I set up a city to test this. A massive residential area, with one road connecting it to an industrial/commercial district, with only one business along that road. The traffic/route query shows nearly 4000 cars passing directly in front of the business via morning commute... low customers. I tried tweaking the multiplier in the NAM tool, low customers. Tried removing the NAM entirely, low customers....

    :boggle:

    help... meeeee.....

    This could be a class problem. What is the class of the Sims going past? Does it match the class of the building? Is the building fully serviced? Try increasing the number of commercial buildings along that road. None of them should be very close to the industrial.

    I know this is old post, but to solve this update simcity to 1.1.638 (or 1.1.640 doesn't matter).

    NAM is not fully compatitable with previous versions.

    This is how I solved mine.

    Perhaps you could explain what you mean by saying that the NAM isn't compatible with previous versions?

     

    The NAM documentation states clearly you must have updated your game to 1,1,638 or later.
