Are you going by the Traffic Query? If so, it looks like nobody lives there yet. Are you going by visual? Check to see if automata is on in settings.

No one would like to live there... not even after 1 Year ingame Time.

Explaining: I use BlockAll MaxixBuilding and all SPAM gizmos. Could it work this Way?

Just asking, Oliver

Hiya Oliver,

It seems that just as Jack said, you couldn't see the traffic in SAM road due to no Sims live there, and I thought it's since you use BlockAll MaxixBuilding mod, You can move this mod out of Plugins temporarily to see what happens there.

If things change, which probably means you don't have enough Lots which matches every grow stages and the Building style you choosed in game. In a nutshell, I presume that when every conditions are met(RCI demand and power water etc), the game will choose the proper (size, grow srage, style) Building then generates them. it will keep waiting until has proper Building.

These are all my immature conjectures, I haven't been through a Blocker, so if there is no change after you removed the Blocker, we'd better to wait an answer from our Specialists.

Sincerely,

@City_Slider @SIM-ple Jack @Raymond7cn

Just to let you all know, I've moved this question into a dedicated SC4 Bugs topic since it'll be more contained here than in the Quick Question thread.

To still be notified of new replies, it might be worth re-following the thread using the option in the top right.

[City_Slider 2,716]

Thanks CB, that´s for sure not a quick Question...

Regards Oliver

After Hours of testing i give up. I cant get it on the Road.

Next Step is... i´m going to install SC on an other PC with only the Plex on it. Thanks God i have enough Desk PC´s (Four right now, and more in the Futur. They are really cheap at the Moment) at Home :-)

Cheers, Oliver

Hiya Oliver, @City_Slider

I'm a bit confuzzled about your issue, I just tested it:

it's your layout.

There are only Blocker and SPAM and NAM and Wallibuk's BATs within my Plugins.

After a while, most of zones has been developed. and you can see the traffic was busy.

Drawpath and route querying showed normal there. and you can tell the cars were spawned on the SAM3 as below:

Besides, I checked the Blocker mod a bit, it just rewrites all RCI Exemplars (Vanilla)'s Building style value of Occupantgroup, so If you have plenty of Buildings which match every grow stages, You didn't suppose to have issue there.

So may I ask that did you set the cars/sims to high? Have any RCI zones developed around? Do you have any other special BATs or Mods in your Plugins folder? such as CAM, and where (directory) did you put the Blocker mod into? Anyway, I thought you can make a test, Just leave NAM and SPAM and Blocker and some RCI Lots in Plugins, Regarding of residential Lots, You can give this one a try:

 

And then let's see what happens there.

Sincerely,

-- Raymond

PS, Sorry that I couldn't follow you very well about this word:

what did you mean when you said "only SPAM Buildings"?

[City_Slider 2,716]

Hi Ray,

Oliver

If I'm not mistaken, I think SPAM is just the farm buildings(which are R-I), not residential buildings. SPAM is just a reworking of farms to allow a wider selection of crops and rural structures. You still need either custom or Maxis res for any houses to appear.

Thats right Jack. After 4 Hours of testing i figured it out. Some of Methews Lots fill it out.
