Thanks for your reply. Not sure if any particular wealth level are creating the problem, though I do have mostly medium-wealth inhabitants. Also, since there are less sims taking up the space usually inhabited by a lot more lower wealth sims, there are jobs that now don't get filled, so my industry basically slows down and goes abandoned. I've tried upping the density, but in the past this effect was immediate, whereas now it takes quite a long time to up density. I agree that the SC4 system was more forgiving - and I'm sure this will get sorted out in time. Thanks again -

Hi, I'm having so much trouble with my zones at the moment. Here's what's happening: I keep getting the message "Not enough freight producers", which makes sense since I don't usually zone industrial - something I'm changing since this message started showing more and more. But no matter how much industrial I'm creating, it's not making that big of an impact. In fact, I find that I'm caught in a weird cycle right now. I can't build more industrial because I don't have the residential population to fill jobs. I can't build more residential because of space issues, and the current residential population is moving out because there is not enough commercial. Commercial isn't doing well because there are not enough freight producers. How do I get out of this cycle? I'm building an arcology at the moment hoping that that will make some sort of impact. The region I'm playing has 7 cities (5 inhabitied) and one Great Work zone. Is anyone else having this problem, and how do I get around it?
