Hi everyone So i decided to give simcity a try since the offline update showed up and it's great i just have 1 big issue.\ I have a town where i have a middle school and 2 University's, it works great for that town but the issue is that all the other students from my other town's won't commute to those schools which causes me to have low Industrial tech lvl. I have the largest bus station in all of the towns and i have school busstops everywhere aswell but my school busses refuse to leave my town where all the schools are. Does anyone know what the issue is here? Also, is there a way to speed up the removal of radation poisoning? It's going so slow, i read that the COT pack had something but i don't have acces to that. Thanks for the help. Apparently that function is still not working, guess i'll ruin my nice layout and put schools somewhere ..

If you're playing solo, a LONG time, with friends? still quite the time But it all depends on how much you export/create. If you have good income you can import the products needed and send them there, otherwise you have to create them, for example i made myself nearly bankrupt for the arcology great works (solo) but atleast it's all done except for the TV's since i can't create those in the town i currently work. So if you're playing solo, try to create as much as you can, even import if you can afford it and send it all to the great works.

So i recently started another city but i managed to mess up again and while i got plenty of public transportation certain sections of my roads are packed again, i included some screenshots, does anyone have some tips on how i can lighten the load? It's still pretty new so it's easier to make changes now. I appreciate any tips ^^ http://i62.tinypic.com/2qw2c0n.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/2qmoq5w.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/25814dj.jpg

So i have a new issue I recently plotted the cheapest megatower with 2 residential, 1 park and 1 office (med tech). Now the 2 residential parts are being a complete pain in the azz, first they were happy, then they complained they were being overworked and had no relief from work, and then they complain there is no work, what the hell is going on, anyone else ever had something like this? How do i fix it ... Thanks

Alright, but what should i do when they complain there is no relief from work? Add more residential or just remove the office level ? Got another question, can the safety levels replace the fire/hospital buildings? Or do they operate only within the megatower itself? (same question for school, etc..)

What do you mean cater them? I tried adding more residents but those 2 levels are almost empty because they all left. Tried adding jobs after that but no change.

I wanted to use bridges that would go from residential to the industrial going over the main road but it wouldn't take it whatever i tried, but are you saying i should use normal high density roads between the residential areas? and keep the big avenues for the sides, etc? i think i'm starting to get the hang of it but it's still hard -edit- I'm also thinking of keeping my use of districts but using underground tunnels and bridges above ground (with a main road above), do you think it would work, or would i just end up getting jams underground XD

How do you have a stable city my city is fine as long as i use normal trading but once i plot omegaco it goes bankrupt in no-time

Something i found that works (to a certain degree) is to work with curved corners, it's a bit easier on the traffic and never go further than a T junction. i'm sure you knew that already but still ^^ I had an "ok" town which was making quite the money out of trading until i put down a megaco factory and HQ, went down really fast after that and my city went bankrupt due to packed streets making it impossible for my import to arrive Also try to have a part residential, commercial, residential, commercial. I used to work in districts (1 part residential, another commercial and another full of factories) but that seems to be hard on the traffic. so you could try residential and connect a commercial part to it with a dead-end road and repeat that process, i'm testing this out atm myself so can't say if it will work properly.

Hi everyone, I need some help because i keep hitting the same problems over and over again. For example my roads are packed, and i mean PACKED. My firetrucks or ambulances aren't getting anywhere, half of my town is residential but still i got more than 13000 open jobs and the game keeps yelling at me that it needs more workers. I added some screenshots so please ,help me out here. I don't mind starting all over again if needed aslong as it solves my issues by a bit. I also wanted to ask if it would work if i were to make cities based on just 1 thing, for example one with nothing but residents and a bit of shopping to keep em happy, i'm new to simcity so i got no clue how this game works >< http://nl.tinypic.com/a/35061/1 Q2: Is it possible to have cities that focus mainly on just 1 thing? For example import and trading or one that is mostly industrie (with the basic police and fire buildings ofcourse) or even one with mostly just citizens (provided that i have busses going everywhere so they can commute), etc..

Note that the school commuting seems to work but for the university (for me it appears that high school students and the others seem to commute but university students won't) And to get workers to commute i'm assuming that you need unemployment in 1 city atleast because i always have a few jobs open and i've never seen any workers commute (although this could be broken aswell) I'm still new myself so don't take my comment as pure truth but based on personal findings till now ^^

What is wrong about my style in laying roads then? Except for the 3-4 way interjections, and i know that T sections is the safest way.

I tend to have 1 high school and either a college or university, and i noticed that the grade and high school do get regional students, seems it's just the uni that doesn't get them. Maybe it would work better if your neighbouring connected cities do play online the same time you play? Of course that would depend on the amount of students they have that their own system can't handle I only played Singleplayer for now, not online ^^
