No Growth?

[andrew13511 88]

Hey guys,

I have been working on my region and I started having a problem.  I have started having issues with the two cities I am currently working on (I am going back it forth).   When I am zoning stuff, nothing is growing.  For example, the first city, the demand is very high for agriculture, with high desirability, cap is at 5%.  The other city, residential is not growing, extremely high demand, and no cap issues as well.  I know in the past, I have stopped playing a region due to this issue.  Is it some time type of bug/glitch causing this issue.  I know mods are known to possibly cause issue but I have not changed anything in months.  Is it possible it to be CAM or something else?  Please feel free to ask for anything else you think would help. 

Thanks

You must supply electricity to a zone before it can develop. Some zones also need water.

It doesn't need it. I am using "howdryiam" and "fightthepower".  The farm was developed but I had destroyed it and nothing will rebuild, it is already next to other growth. I am an experienced player so I feel this must be some bug.

I have not done the Timbuktu tutorial in this decade if that counts.

Demand issues are not something that's buggy that I know of.

You have to really give us a lot more data to fully understand what the cause of this may be. For example, a quick description of your Region, the cities in it which are populated and how many sims/jobs you have. A tool like the Census Repository would make collating all that a lot easier. Likewise, we need some idea of how far along you are, if this is happening early on with low populations, likely you have an imbalance of sims to jobs, zone for that which is in demand, to attract more demand for the other, it's like a see-saw when you first start out. If this is happening later, maybe something more complex is at play. For example, R$ will not develop on land with a high Land Value, so no matter how much demand you have, if no suitable zones exist, little if anything will actually get built.

Remember too, just because Buildings don't need Electricity or Water to function, doesn't mean sims will necessarily be happy without either service. These "cheats" if you will, were not really intended for playing the game, rather so developers could troubleshoot or bugfix without having to create everything from scratch. I really can't say that using them continually would not have some negative effect. I mean, is providing power/water really such a big ask?

Here is the information you were wanting to know.  I tried adding utilities...nothing, years passed.  Then...poof, I had development.  I don't know what caused it fix itself, but thanks to everyone for trying to help.
