I would like to know if someone could make a few little mods, or if they already exists.
I have a few issues in one of my cities:
1) The commute time in my cities is insanely wrong. Going across the street is, for some reason, considered a Long commute. I have a bunch of buildings gone abandoned due to commute time. I already have the NAM Mod, which I thought was supposed to fix commute times. It would seem that, while freight times are short regardless of how far they travel, passenger commute time has not been affected. Can a mod be made to make commute time based on distance? I have no idea what the formula is now, but it could not be more wrong.
2) My sims are showing they are unable to find any jobs. My Commercial and Industrial Demands are both negative, and all of my Commercial and Industrial businesses are less than half employed. During this same time, some sims are choosing to go clear across town to get a job. Others are leaving because they can't find work. Meanwhile my Residential Demand is through the roof but practically no one will move into the abandoned buildings or rebuild over them, they all want me to zone more Residential before they will move in. Is it possible to make a mod that will make sims look for jobs closest to them before they start assuming they can't find a job or start looking for jobs on the other side of town?
To put my city design into perceptive, I have a very organized checkerboard style where I am altering between Residential and Commercial (with the occasional High-Tech block) with Avenues for efficient travel. All my bars (Environment, Health, Safety, Traffic, Education, and Land Value) are all full and completely green.
Can anyone steer me into the correct direction regarding mods? Those two issues above are making it impossible for my city to grow. I've been stuck with a population of about 8,000 people for like 5-10 years now.
On a completely separate note. I would also appreciate a mod that would allow me to completely fill a region with trees while in God Mode. That is a pain-in-the-ass process to do with the current God Mode tool. Another good one would be a mod that allows people to auto-generate a unique region (random streams, changes in elevation, and what-not).
