They look amazing! I'm standing by with my wallet!! /sarcasm What do you guys think, are they coming free or for $$$?

Where is it stored when you gift it? Does the recipient have to build all the storage?

Well I seem to have a traffic problem that is caused by too many commuters coming in for work from the surrounding cities. My city details list a problem that should just be able to go away on its own, or one would think anyway. Low Wealth Workers: 3052 Low Wealth Jobs: 13,188 Low Wealth Workers Commuting: 34,000 As you can see, I have about 24,000 workers coming in that just cant find work. I was expecting that they would eventually level out once the commuters figured out that I dont have that many jobs available. Are they coming in and driving around only to leave and drive through the next city? My brother is the mayor of the other cities in the region, so I told him to check out his details and see what he can do. Maybe I need to create a job city packed full of industry. Suggestions?

I've slowly been increasing the land value to where I have less and less low wealth workers. If I eliminate all the low wealth then I'll be putting myself at risk for not having enough workers when/if he does something about his cities. Medium Wealth Commuters: 0 High Wealth Commuters: 1 LMAO! No Arcology anywhere in the region. We're building one in the opposite corner of the region but it's not connected via roads to this city, and also, not completed..

I try my best to lay down one major avenue through the city. I dont zone anything on this avenue, especially not commercial. I do not connect any high density roads to it either. This prevents stoplights and lets the traffic flow at top speed all the way to the desired road. They then turn off and deal with side street traffic that very rarely gets bogged down. So far this has made for the best city, as all my emergency vehicles can zip around freely and take care of business.

The regional population counters have never worked. I have cities that are full of people. Region still shows 0 population for the city.

What are you gifting to the HQ city? Confused...

Yes, dorms just increases the attendees by a fixed number to let researches go faster and to lvl up university. isn't...that what I said before?...they add 500 students per dorm? and this whole topic is about how to get more students to the university from a site I found http://simcity2013wiki.com/wiki/Dormitory it says it adds additional students to your population that attend your university I thought the OP was asking how to get his own students to attend. I thought he had a bunch of uneducated sims that weren't being educated. Also, the number reflects the time of day, so if it says 33 students check the time. If it's early in the morning then you just have to wait until more students arrive.

Excellent tips perablenta. A grid design is preferred by many but can become locked up if there are too many stoplights.

Just run the city until you get bored. Transfer the money to a fresh canvas and avoid nuclear power. Probably not worth the time waiting it out.

The dorms are only used to meet requirements for research. They dont attract your sims to the University. If I read correctly in a previous post.

FYI, the trees are dying. Mostly from ground pollution. Air pollution doesn't seem to kill them, of course.

I tracked a criminal on the crime data layer and when I clicked on him it said he was going to embezzle funds. My police caught him so he never got the money.

Anyone else having issues downloading the Origin update? I went to get on just now and it's going unbelievably slow. I downloaded SimCity at over 1MB/sec, so why is the Origin update having issues?

You will make good returns day after day if you can get the tourists in and out in a timely fashion. I've seen super high returns, and a few losses, depending on the traffic.

Gotta get soap so you can clean the game of all the bugs it come with.

You can piggyback gifts from city to city to transfer money far across your region. If that's what you were referring to. Gotta be the mayor in all the cities though. Or play with cooperating players that wont hijack your plan.

Sounds like you guys are having driver issues. All my settings are max and I don't have any grid lines.

Advanced mining and drilling upgrades that allow hidden resources to be mined. So basically a way to reroll the resources for a price. This will allow mining towns to stay that way. For a price, of course.

How many homeless does the population data say you have?

I want a city large enough that I don't have to worry where I'm going to put my University. Seriously, that thing is huge.

Lets keep the updates coming!

I think I remember seeing some beta footage where the mayors mansion had an edit button with ploppable buildings. Has anyone been able to do this? My mansion doesn't have anything except an on/off button.

Cool bridge!

You can only change the build style if you have the Deluxe Edition. In order to have the buildings change you must place one of the bonus buildings in your city and the surrounding buildings will reflect the styling. I'm fairly sure it only has a radius effect, so it basically creates a neighborhood.
