It looks like your residential zones are being zoned into parcels that are too big. Try breaking it into 1x2 or 2x2 and you should see some growth, especially since the residential demand is there. Hope it helps!

Breathtaking. I'd really like to know more about the quadruple rail tunnel, wonder how you managed that?

I currently run NAM V31, with ultra level controllers. Sorry for not having stated that earlier. Also, education isn't much of an issue. I currently play with the aid of the Radical Ordinance Mod, so that basically settles all health and education issues in the cities I build. The development to the bottom of the images are commercial services, with a mix of low, medium and high wealth lots providing jobs for the area. A quick network check sows that workers come from the immediate area, although it is confusing as to why the workers for those buildings come from further away than the affected apartments. One would think that the simulation would pick the nearest residents for the job because it reduces commute time for them, espeically since the roads/streets surrounding the affected area are running in the green (low capacity). Finally desirability isn't an issue.

Hi guys Not a regular poster but I do have a serious issue I want get the community's opinion on. Commute issues have never been an issue in the 6 months or so I've been building this city. If anything, the city tends to have a significantly greater number of sims who walk/bus/take the subway to work than drive (approximately 40000+ sims take the subway, 80000+ take the bus and around 200000+ walk). Why is why I was so surprised to start seeing No Job Zots over zoned residential buildings despite the fact that they had functioned perfectly fine for over 60-odd game years. No significant changes were made to the neighbourhood. If anything, only an upgrade to the subway station was made, changing it into one that had a higher capacity (shown in the image). Yet, the problem keeps getting even worse. More perplexing, however, was the odd variance of commute times experienced by the individual buildings in the immediate area. As shown in the above images, apartments right next to each other experienced very different commute times. To make matters worse, other areas in the city are beginning to experience the same problem. Any help anyone?

All looking great! Here's a little contribution of mine (you might've seen it on the Berate One Image thread)

Look at the jagged edges! Such sloppiness! Plus what's with all that repition and dilapidation that I can hardly see because it's so zoomed out?! Gosh it's awful in almost every aspect of it. -6/-10 Now that that's all said and done...

My little contribution

This looks really good! Can I just ask though, how you managed to get pavements and grass fillers for the street curves?

Just my little contribution

@Benedict - Thank you very much! @Yanzoxe - Thanks?... @TekindusT - Thank you! @Aaron Graham Thanks More of Colganston (I'll be honest - I haven't touched Solando in forever cause I haven't had motivation to do it, which means you'll see a lot more of Colganston in the coming updates). Bourke Avenue is one of the main thoroughfares that exist in the city, helping to link the Cross-Island Highway to the city centre. What's unique about the avenue is the daily market that borders the avenue, selling everything from souvenirs to tourists to fresh fruits. Government Park is where the main buildings of the Colganstonian State Government are. North of the Park is the main cathedral in the city, christened after the city's patron saint St. Mark. Another market, this time Central Market, a much bigger market with a greater variety of goods, and you can sometimes see the State Premier rush down to get a cup of coffee between meetings. Anyway, in tribute to the release of SC2013, I've paid a littlle homage int he images. Wonder if anyone notices them... ^^

@vivapanda - Thank you! @RepublicMaster - Yes, very cold indeed. Thanks too! @Benedict - Thanks! And wow gosh #7 that's surprising @Fox - Thanks mate! So I've been away for a long time without an update, sincere apologies for that. I'ved moved to Australia to study, so unfortunately that meant I couldn't update for a long time. But anyway I'm back and what better way is there to start than with a mosaic?

@Benedict - That's American Typewriter, the same typeface used in the I Love New York logos @City_Master - Yes, moar snow! That's typical of the Northeast this time of year @vivapanda - Really? Thanks Given that I'm going to be away until next weekend, I've had to push forward this year's Christmas update to today, the eve of Christmas eve. This is Colganston, in winter. Colganston has always been personified as a fighter. A tough guy, with street cred, walking around with tattoos on his arm and a heavy leather bikers' jacket, but with a heart of pure gold. It's also been considered to have a Napoleon complex, which would explain it's usually-friendly, sometimes vicious competitiveness with Centreburg, and this tough-guy personality shows in the city's architecture and urban culture. Colganston has always had a noticeably different feel compared to the more modern cities of Freedo and Centreburg. Some have even compared it to New York. It seems that the streets here today are particularly quiet. But then again it is the weekend. When night falls, the streets light up in celebration of the Christmas spirit. The decorations lend some contrast to the darkness of the night sky and the warmth of the lamps at home. So here's to a white Christmas this year. Merry Christmas folks

@City_Master - Yes winter scenes are pretty Oh well winter breaks records too sometimes @vivapanda - Thank you Sorry for the lack of activity, I've been busy (even though its the holidays LOL) "You're being moved to Solando, with effect after the Christmas break. Most of the benefits and expatriate allowances you get here will be the same there, and so is the pay. Good luck, and enjoy yourself, it's a pretty place." the boss told me this morning. After spending about a year and a half here in Centreburg (not including the occasional business trip), I'll be moving to Solando, down south in Lanaya. It seems that that was the result of a successful business deal to expand the company's presence in Lanaya, buying farms and stuff like that. I'd better get ready for the move. Mid-afternoon, and the heavens gave way to sheets of snow falling across the city. Nighttime, and the city's Christmas lighting illuminated the streets. Shoppers bustled down the sidewalks, streaming into shops to find the perfect Christmas gift for friends and family. A pretty night, but I have to get my stuff packed to leave after Christmas *sighs*

@Benedict - Sure! Just grab an airline ticket and we'll get you sorted out! @Twenty20 - Yep! Christmas is coming. In 25 days @City_Master - Down in the Southern Hemisphere? Hahah but warm weather's good right? @daTSchikinhed - Sure Just post in the MFR thread on the AIN forums and we'll get that sorted out. And thank the Queen on my behalf for her compliments! @vivapanda - Thank you! I've been very busy these past few days, and exhausted as well. Still, mosaic time! (brought to you in widescreen) Have a happy December! Comments, +1s all appreciated.

Looking pretty good. Just note the UDI icons in future, and I wouldn't want to drive a car with a massive palm tree stuck in the middle of it!
