Even if those are the problems, does that mean I won't be able to get region play working so that I can have my industry in one city and suburbs in another? Desirability is full green in the suburbs and even after putting all of those residential plots, the demand for residential is through the roof.

In both cities, I went back and forth often. Once what you see there was built, everything just stopped. I even went on in this one to add water, a hospital, a PD and a school in the residential and it still did not do anything.

Ok, lets see if this works.

Ok, I just made some screen shots. Maybe these can shed the light on what I am doing wrong. I hope they aren't to big for the forum.

I will redo this with the 1x2 lots, sim for a few years and post some screen shots to see what I may be doing wrong. Thank you for the posts.

I just tend to get way ahead of myself when I play and start bleeding money, so I wanted to try this to keep profits up.

He actually says this in the into "With that said, this tutorial is designed to be replicated by anyone even if all they have is the vanilla version of SC4"

Hey guys, I have already done the whole go into one square, build my city and then stop thing. I now want to utilize each part of the region to its fullest extent. I started off using the -Making Money the easy way- tutorial in the Omnibus, but nothing ever seems to work like it shows in the tutorial. I have redone things about 3 or 4 times to test some things out, but everything always goes astray. If I follow the tutorial to the T, I have about 500 Industry jobs in my one town and in the other that has two neighborhoods in it, only like 8 houses build and it sits there with only about 80 people and only one business. I have gone back and forth and sped it up for 4 or 5 years and nothing else builds in either city. I have found that if I place a school at this point in the suburb, things explode (although the tutorial says this shouldn't come until later). After this, I cannot get any more building until I add water (again something the tutorial doesn't do until much later). Then a little after 2000 people and about 3500 industrial jobs, building stops completely in all the factors of industry ,business, and residential. The demand meter tells me all they want in residential at the same time my current residentials are being abandoned because they don't have jobs. On top of that, I also have to move back and forth between the two towns much more often the the tutorial mentions it has to. Any help for this ***** would be great.
