one final question... if i installed version A of the traffic simulator with park and ride.. and people still choose to use highways over subways or buses, both of which only have a 10% usage.. is that a bug?

ok where are all the nam mods. im looking for everything i need to make the nam simulator work... they aren't posted in the download section or they aren't labeled with the authors name or "nam" . i checked the entire download list and i can't see them there either.. where on earth have they been posted?

*****????????? i searched the forums and downloads and its not there? where the hell have they posted it? couldnt they just add it to the download section under an obvious search term like the authors name ( like i tried) or just nam?? (search "nam" only shows the nam simulator) its ironic that a mod that's supposed to simulate better pathfinding for the sims, is lost in a labrynth somewhere in the download section don't you think.. jesus christ.

theres no such thing as "nam essentials" i looked through the entire download list.. but i do have the nam june 2007 mod combined with the simulator now. or the "nam expansion" doesnt exist... where did you get this from?

so theres no way to fix this problem?.. il try out the mod nyway. it sounds cool.

i cant install the left handed plugin can i?

i couldnt find an explanation of the options while installing this.. such as the "ant" network.. does anyone know where i can find information on all of this before i install?

another question : ) what is the autmatron option in nam june 2007? and the "ant" network? not realyl sure if i want those or not coz i dont know what they are and the readme doesnt explain. i live in the uk too, so the left handed drive would be nice, but i suspect i would have needed to buy the uk version of the game and that wouldnt work with my import anyway.

is that compatible with the nam traffic simulator i got over here? coz i reaally like this mod.. they actually use mass transit to a decent degree now.. seem to stay away from monorails tho, so maybe its buggy.

how can i fix it so that wealthy sims will commute just as far as a medium or poor sim? i think realistically a wealthier person would commute much farther than a poor person, since the wealthier person can afford to.. And it would be worth the wealthier better educated person commuting to a very high paying job, unlike a poor person commuting a large distance for a minimum wage job. Anyway , how can i fix it so that wealthier sims will commute just as far? i think thats why my wealthier sims have the icon above their home that implies they have no job... either that or there arent enough jobs available? how do i tell WHY they have no job? i dont know for sure but i suspect its the commute problem.

links dont work... do all road still act the same ?

I can't find a way to make money or develop my commerce.. it seems that my commerce is always stuck on "low value" with "low customers" why is this? I even built the biggest airport just to see if it made a difference and it did not.. My residential areas have fire service, hospital and an elementary school, but still the value is "low" why is this? now my homes will never become skyscrapers and because there aren't wealthy sims the commerce zones won't have the right type of sim which they need to expand with, so everything is stagnant. third problem is with industry... it seems there is always and i mean always a demand for industry... i try to satisfy the need, and i have about 8 zones of 8x8 industry half is medium half is high density, with some serious air pollution coming from it... but the demand never goes away, is their a way to solve the air problem and the constant demand for industry all at once? i activated ordinances which helped clean the air and at the same time had a negative effect on industry, so i hoped that would kill two birds with one stone, but i saw no significant difference. Presumably if my industry evolved (assuming that it's stagnant like the commerce) then the kind of industry that high density brings would mean less pollution anyway, since high density are usually office buildings and coperations whereas medium are chemical mixers and heavy polluting industries. I need some strong advice how to combat my extremely low enviromental rating ... building thousands of simoleons worth of trees had no effect whatsoever. Finally. I hear a lot of people talking about having agriculture in one city , industry in another and population in another... what exactly is meant by this? do they mean you build heavy industry in one region, exit that region and start another which borders it and in this region build heavy commerce? in that way if they have a road/rail connection then they would all fullfill each others needs efficiently without having to cram everythign in one city. But i suspect that they mean having several "cities" in one region and isolating one zone type from another by a considerable distance maybe? Assuming that's what is meant, is the reason my zones aren't expanding properly due to the fact that the industry is too close to the commerce and residential areas and vice versa... and because of that they are stagnating? I suppose that's a possibility because i did read on a tooltip in simcity that high density commerce wants to be right next door to residential areas but far far away from industry.. so correct me if im wrong.. i desperately need some gameplay advice here, would be thankful of any tips someone could offer a newbie.. as it stands at the moment i just have to give up, because i keep replaying a city and trying to correct my previous problems, but no matter what i do.. i just recreate the same errors again and again. so im forced to quit playing until i know how. thanks in advance.
