No residential development

[Rady 94]

I'm encountering a strange situation. I just started a new city tile and created a small village. I have a small commercial zone, some industry, as well as a mall farm. Everything is fine, except that residential buildings are not evolving. Of course water and power are available, as is a fire and police department.

I'm using CAM, IRM (Industrial Revolution Mod) and the Industry Job Quadrupler.

That's a lot of demand for anything but low-wealth residentials!

First, are you using a plugin to modify the demand levels at large? And do you have other cities on the same region with lots of low-wealth Sims that, somehow, cannot reach this place?

They did mention CAM and that increases demand as well as makes the bars extra stretchy in appearance.

I suspect this too.

I notice some water visible (like a river or lake) and if that connects to another city tile which has development, it acts as a connection for the demand to flow thru to this city tile even if there aren't any road or rails between the two.

Found the problem

CAM and Industry Job Quadrupler are incompatible with each other since CAM uses its own version.

Uninstall Industry Job Quadrupler to fix the problem

Also, are you using SC4pac?

Thanks for your advice ... without single-quoting your answers, let me summarize:

• There is no other mod beside those mentioned (at least in terms of jobs / demand)
• Yes, there is another city to the north, however commute times should be extraordinarily long. But indeed the city tiles are connected not only with a road, but over the sea. This might be the explanation why I don't see any traffic on the road (except the trucks leaving the village) ...
• Industry Job Quadrupler: I installed it as it was recommended by the Industrial Revolution Mod .. I will remove the Quadrupler Mod and report back ...
• and yes, I'm using sc4pac

What does the Demand Graph look like in that city? Is it similar to the local village one we are working with?

[Rady 94]

It seems something is crippling my game. I opened the city tile to the north, it shows another demand picture. After that, I opened a city tile NOT adjacent to the other ones, and from the very beginning I have the exakt same demand curve, plus no residential buildings developing.

 

Edit March 10th: I deleted all city tile files - save those I already played - and copied them into my current region folder from the original region file and started a small zoning of some res/com/ind areas with a street and a wind turbine. They all show normal demand and residential grow again. Also, those two city tiles already developed that I haven't played with since installing the IRM and Quadrupler mod show normal demand and residential grow.

So, only the two city tiles I developed recently AFTER installing both mods seem to be affected by this strange behaviour.

*Shrug* Maybe I just have to discard this two city tiles ....
