Demand / growing

[rick1993 0]

Hello,

Co-mayors,

I have a question about the demand. as you see on the picture, the demand is verry high. But my city won't grow. this is the second city with this problem. 

Can you help me ?

 

 

 

Thanks,

(Sorry dor my english, i'm Dutch )

First, are you using CAM 2 or the xxTurbo Mod?

Second, Although you have plenty of CO$$$ demand, the desirability is probably not quite high enough to grow it in the area you have zoned. Second, be sure to zone for Residential and industial at this point. Commercial is the lowest of the demand. Zoning more Residential should start to raise the demand for commercial, industrial will build more jobs, thus further increasing the demand for Residential and commercial.

To work on the desirability in your commercial areas, check your traffic graph. High traffic volumes are good for commercial. You may need to change some zones to commercial in these areas, commercial zones to residential in areas where traffic volume is low.

CAM does make CO$$$ much harder to grow, but this is so it will not abandon so easily. For now, with a city so small, only 5188 population, stick to industrial and let the city move toward commercial at the larger populations.

List of mods I can tell from the picture:

CAM 2.1.0, SimoleanRH, NAM or xxTurbo Mod, SimoleanRH, NAM.

If you are using CAM 2.1.0, be sure to use the SimoleanRH for the CAM. This is the only conflict I could possibly see happening.

 

Ten eerste, bent u met behulp CAM 2 of xxTurbo Mod?

Ten tweede, hoewel u voldoende CO $$$ vraag of het wenselijk is waarschijnlijk niet vrij hoog genoeg om het te laten groeien in het gebied dat u hebt gezoneerd. Ten tweede, zorg ervoor dat u zone voor residentiële en industial op dit punt. Commercial is de laagste van de vraag. Zonering meer Residential moeten beginnen om de vraag naar commercieel te verhogen, industrie zal meer banen te bouwen, waardoor een verdere verhoging van de vraag naar residentiële en commerciële.

Om te werken over de wenselijkheid in uw commerciële gebieden, controleer uw verkeer grafiek. Hoge verkeersvolumes zijn goed voor de commercial. Het kan nodig zijn om een aantal zones commerciële zones veranderen om commercieel in deze gebieden, aan residentiële in gebieden waar het verkeersvolume is laag.

CAM maakt CO $$$ veel moeilijker om te groeien, maar deze is zo zal het niet zo gemakkelijk verlaten. Voor nu, met een stad zo klein, slechts 5188 inwoners, vasthouden aan de industriële en laat de stad te bewegen in de richting commerciële bij de grotere populaties.

Lijst van mods kan ik zien aan de foto:

CAM 2.1.0, SimoleanRH, NAM of xxTurbo Mod, SimoleanRH, NAM.

Als u gebruik maakt van CAM 2.1.0, moet u de SimoleanRH gebruiken voor de CAM. Dit is het enige conflict ik zou kunnen zien gebeuren.

In addition to InvisiChem's excellent advice - do you have any neighboring cities that you have developed?.  One thing that you can do is develop a neighboring city and provide road/rail/highway connections to it.  This will do two things for you:

1.  Provide more area for you to relieve the residential and industrial demand.
2. The road/rail connections will provide cap relief for industrial and commercial and should help to increase the commercial demand.

Make sure you have also provided police, fire and water coverage for the commercial zones.  Also plopping plazas in the commerical zones will provide a small cap relief and increase desirability of the zones.

Thank You so much. I've disabled the CAM and now the city is growing. Is there any way that simoleon and CAM can run together?

You really don't need a money cheat.  All you need is the 'extra cheats' DLL package and the moolah command to fix your budget as needed.

thank you. i will install the dll package!!

I also uploaded a version of SimoleanRH that is compatible with CAM 2.1.0. True, it is not needed, but I use it to do quick dirty tests without having to use the moolah cheat. So far, I haven't had any issues with lack of growth with CAM 2.1.0. Just to explore the issue further so I can fine tune things, a little bit of further information here.

Is it just the Commercial lots that were failing to grow?

Are you using any type of maxis building blockers?

Was this the only city in the region?

Plus a little more help for using CAM that I can see from the photo. Definitely zone more residential. But in these residential sections, try to keep the desirability down so you can get some R$ sims and R$$ sims going. They are in very high demand. You can keep the education up, but zone in a high pollution zone to keep them poor in certain sections. CAM needs R$ sims more than the vanilla version.

I also see the large building at the top of the photo. That should not be growing at this stage, so be very careful with what you plop as well. Plopped buildings can really throw the balance of the game off, especially if it is done before you have the proper demand for the buildings. 

Other than this stuff, I just want to duplicate the problem so I can get CAM to defend against it.

you need lots of apartment buildings.
