Bye the way: I'm just trying to rebuild a real city including all streets and roads, residential, commercial and industry areas. I also use realstic sizes and distances. However some further out residential areas wont develope because commute times are too long. Is it possible to change, how far the Sims will commute to a job within the dat files? Like changing it from 120 (or whatever it is now) to 200 minutes e.g.? Any help would be appreciated, so I can get my city running. Are there any tests that I could help with? Thanx Codex
