Ok, so I zoned some dumping areas and let it run at cheetah speed, but soon, they abandoned the building....my beautiful buildings....I am not quite sure what to do....most of my sims education is high so....i'm not quite sure why...maybe i should build a university or something to get it higher?

Hmm, maybe that's the problem! It's been alerting about the garbage problem...although I'm not sure how that's related to low IHT and high R-$$$ demand. I have Simgoober's waste to energy plant, but i dont' know how to use it....

Yes, it is the Industry quadrupler mod. Ah! I really don't want to have to obliterate it because alot of my nice high-wealth rises like Cobb's Central Park are the ones who have no jobs and it took me a long time to get it grow!

So, I downloaded Industry multiplier x4 and it went through the phase of high-rises being created to people needing jobs etc, and now I am in a situation where there is high-wealth residential demand, and negative IHT demand, BUT at the same time, i have my high-wealth residents who are out of jobs! Not only that more high-wealth buildings are popping up, resulting in more No jobs. So how can IHT be in low demand when there is so much high-wealth? Do they all want Manufacturing industry?? Here is the screenshot. And there are other high-wealth buildings that show no jobs. https://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll113/Juilkca/?action=view&current=weirddemand.jpg

Why would anyone want it at all 0.00?

Yeah, that will help. No water and education. I deal with high demand of R-$ constantly. Zone it as high density and you will get a good building pop up with couple thousand sims, granted you have a high enough R-$ demand.

It's actually true. Some of my sims (although not all) will take a crazy detour. For example, in the below example, my sim will leave his HOUSE and instead of taking the closest street (S) to work (W), he will take the farthest street (2S). AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA W AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA W 2S S 2S S RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR HOUSE

Well, not to say that my computer is better than yours, but I have a AMD Athlon 2.4 Dual core with 1 gig of RAM, and SC4D runs really well. I think you can download B.A.T and view them before you play the game. Now that there are literally thousands of BATS and lots available, i have to organize them really well. Anyway, I am not sure where you can download the B.A.T. Hopefully, someone responds to this and helps you out further.

Err, can you give me an example?? A screenshot perhaps?

Ok, so two screenshots. First is the year i zoned it and second one is the year i stopped and still has not grown... https://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll113/Juilkca/?action=view&current=highwayproblem.jpg https://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll113/Juilkca/?action=view&current=highwayproblem2.jpg As you can see i had road connections and even water and the demand was there but it still didn't zone it...maybe there is something i am doing wrong...

Ok, I took your advice and built a highway with ramp leading to road and residential zone facing the road. I put the time on cheetah and let close to a year pass by and no residential buildings were popping up, meaning the game thinks there is no connection, or whatever the problem may be. What am i doing wrong or what could be the problem?

What if i made a R-$ high density building a landmark? Would that help keep the R-$ sims in check? Oh and good advice about no education with coal plants etc...I placed some high density residential RIGHT BESIDE the dirty industry area, and believe me, you don't wanna live there due to the pollution, but even then, two huge R-$ high-rise buildings grew housing some 2500 sims each. So it DOES work, but it's true that the demand keeps increasing for R-$.

Hey guys, I have built a highway for my sims and most of them are not taking it. Instead they are taking the most direct route. For example, my sims will take the road to the next city even when the highway is right beside it! I have NAM installed and working, but it doesn't seem to help....

Hey guys, I have had this problem for a while now. My R-$ demand is quite high as you can see in my pic, but I can't seem to get much R-$ because many of them just turn to R-$$ or few R-$$$, and this city has one museum and an elementary school that doesn't cover the whole city. I do have a neighboring city with the same problem. NO matter how many zones i place, not many R-$ grow... https://s286.photobucket.com/albums/ll113/Juilkca/?action=view&current=highlowresdemand.jpg Ah! I can't stand this....Maybe it's a glitch? IHT is at a LOW demand and just saw IHT pop up in my city. And my city is like 10 years old....although, I do have a neighboring city with people with high education. Could this be a factor? Anyway, if you could help me with the first question as well. Thanks in advance!

LOL, true true. Uhh, while we are on the newbie topic....I wanted to ask whoever reads this what growth stages are related to RCI? I'd appreciate it
