Mayor Rating Dropping

[quesocat 3]

I just recently installed CAM and when I loaded the city I had been working on, the mayor rating had been very positive, but had dropped to negative, and I had done nothing. No matter what I do to try and raise it, it doesn't come up. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening?

Installing CAM on existing regions is strongly discouraged. If you look at the CAM Manual, pg. 5, there is a section titled "Using Existing Regions with CAM." There are mentioned some possible problems:

"If you region has any problems with demand, those problems will probably be more difficult to 5 handle after the CAM has been installed."

And:

"Eternal commuters comes from poorly designed intercity connections. Mainly from building connections in the corners of cities. Commuters exit the city looking for jobs. Upon reaching the neighboring city, they don’t find jobs near enough to the edge and travel to the next city. They do this eternally, in a circle, causing traffic issues on the networks they are commuting on. This is not new to SimCity 4, just greatly enhanced by the higher growth stages in CAM."

Etc. etc. etc. It is hard to tell exactly what is happening, because there are so many factors combining. I would advise you to read the manual again.

Hope you will be able to get rid of unpopularity in your city. If not, starting a completely new region would be the best option.
