I've finally gotten it under control I think. I've taxed the R$$$ out of all the other cities and now that the whole region has grown more and stabilized and I made one city just for R$ it's starting to get under control, and I reverted back to the simulator z which seems to help a lot. Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions!

Yeah thanks a lot Yunxlang! I will look for that mod, and I will also try taking out some plugins because the commute problems did seem to start after I moved my plugins over from my old computer to my new one. Cobhris96, I will try simulator Z again later, but I actually already tried that simulator, simulator A, and standard so I'm not exactly sure if that will help. Thanks again for all the advice from everyone!

It's not occasional. They're in nearly every district of the city, and they are constantly appearing. It's definitely some kind of bug or wrongly installed plugin that is causing the commute times to be messed up because I just downloaded a brand new region and the game is telling me these sims have medium length commutes when they are just as short as the one in the picture above. Has anyone had any experience with this bizarre thing before?

Thanks for the suggestions, but that road has no more than 100 or 200 commuters traveling on it at a time, which is far below it's capacity of 1000. It seems more like a bug but I don't know how to fix it. has anyone else experienced similar problems?

I am working on a new region that has about 100,000 sims in it total. Recently I have been getting jobless zots over a lot of stuff in my large city with 95,000 sims. They are almost always on the high wealth stuff, sometimes on middle wealth stuff. There are very few low wealth sims in this city. It's almost as if the computer has reversed the high and low wealth sims because it seems to only build new high wealth apartments that are almost immediately abandoned due to long commute time. According to the jobs & pop. graph there are mostly middle class sims and then far below that are the high wealth sims and then the low wealth sims. This is not normal. I have tried using the simulation z, simulation a, and standard forms of the nam traffic controller and none have done much to stop the jobless zots. The strange thing is that I do not lose population, the buildings just dilapidate into a lower wealth and then eventually come back for a very short time and then go back down so there are always new jobless zots throughout the city, but also dilapidated buildings. In the much smaller neighboring cities I have the same problems. I have a picture of a commute for one house that the game says is a long commute.

I vote for Mission City as the county seat. Great job so far though!

I just want you guys to know that with my NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX video card which came with my imac the game has been virtually unplayable since 10.4.3 came out. This is EXTREMELY frustrating to me since I have payed 80 dollars for simcity and rush hour and for more than a year now I have hardly been able to play it. I feel as if aspyr has abandoned me. However I would like to know if anyone else with a similar video card (since the problem seems to come from there) has had similar problems and more importantly has anyone with this same problem bought the deluxe version of the game and experienced an improvement? Thanks a lot!

Wow! I just read this entire cj and it's really spectacular! I love your use of custom made buildings! Keep this up! I really like your road/avenue lay out with all the diagonal intersections etc. -uncrazycooper

Well I'm glad that you had two hard disks and that worked out for you! However, I don't have to hard disks and my game is still unplayable and I would like to have a solution or atleast some concrete of advice that would help. It's quite frustrating to me because I feel like I'm the only one with this problem and aspyr has not fixed it and it's quite a problem so if someone could please give me some advice it would be very much appreciated! Thanks, uncrazycooper13

ok I'm sorry to double post but I really need an answer about this stuff. My game is completely unplayable right now and has been for weeks. Is there a way to uninstall a mac os x update? If not what else could I do to improve the performance of the game until they figure this out??? Thanks! uncrazycooper

yeah I'd like to know about that too. as I said before 10.4.4 doesn't seem to help us folk with an nVidia thing at all. -uncrazycooper

I just downloaded 10.4.4 and it doesn't seem to have changed anything. My sim city with 10.4.4/10.4.3 doesn't go fast at all and is virtually unplayable. I'm on a Power Mac6,1/Power PC G4 and I have a nVIDIA GeForce4 MX. I'd love to know anything that I could do that would help even the slightest bit but I don't know much of the computer lingo so I don't know if the information I gave you will help much but I hope it does! Thanks! -uncrazycooper

Wow louisville excellent update! Even though Hiro is the obvious choice you make Wendgram look like a semi-viable candidate! Excellent job! -uncrazycooper13

This cj gets better all the time! I hope Hiro wins, I'd hate for Eureka to lose it's charm justs because of some old rich people. However it would be kind of cool if you let the sprawl develop and then you could go back in with a new mayor and show how to fix sprawl. Anyway I can't wait to see more! -uncrazycooper13
