I hope you understand that I don't like EA so much for releasing a game and then releasing an 'enhanced' version where the bugs are fixed, recharging players

How do I make sure the commercial services are on the way to the sims' work if the commercial services *are* their work?

You guys seem to know what you're talking about so I will ask for your opinion on my latest design which I am still working on; The idea is that people can go to the high rail, which I found is efficient, or to a bus with a supposedly short route. I have assigned high density residence area and I hope my design will be able to handle that. Maybe I can place one-way roads in a certain way. Perhaps the southern two horizontal lanes? And another two questions; Where should I place my commercial and industry? What do I do if 4 buildings with 2k residents appear next to eachother and the road in front can't even handle them? Also I'd like to show what I've reached. At this point the few traffic problems that do occur are quite hard to fix. I have so many commuters to the surrounding cities that the highway can't handle it. However the rail and the elevated highway are also loaded heavily by those long distance workers. What I think is the cause is that the commercial zones are completely separate from the residential area. Should I put the commercial next to the residences?

Every time I play SimCity 4 I get into traffic problems. Last time I installed NAM which should 'fix' it. The problems still persist. I tried placing bus stops but somehow a bus counts as a whole lot of traffic so the problem continues. I have also tried; avenues, targeting traffic by trying to use their 'shortest route' algorithm. Can someone explain to me how I should handle traffic? Maybe from where to where traffic likes to go. Which public transport I should use. (I prefer to stick to vanilla instead of NAM addons, but if I have to I am willing to use NAM items) Thanks! Mark [Edit] I have made 5 cities to learn how to handle traffic over and over and I have found that elevated rails really help. Also I have greatly increased the efficiency of buses etc. Therefore this problem has been solved.

I don't really want to go through so much trouble for a mod I don't need. I need like 4 dll files for it. I would rather fix the highway issue first. Why is it still not working?
-
With the NAM mod installed the highway still doesn't work. (I started a new city)
-
I can't install the I-HT bug fix. I need Dat Packer for that. And to use Dat Packet I need some DLL files which are 99% likely to contain a virus Any tips?
-
Wow that I-HT bug is really bad. Thanks for referring me to a mod. As for the unemployment, that is because their jobs are on the highway a bit further down and off the screenshot. Nevertheless I will start watching this tutorial
-
I bought the game, for the second time, and installed NAM. Still the sims aswell as the fire trucks dont use the highway

I own a copy of the non deluxe version. Do I really need to give EA more money to make the game work at all!? Throwing more money at them only supports them in their horrible way of being a company [Edit] You know what, I have sold my soul to the devil for a $%&^!ty game so I can now mod it with third party programs to make the game work at all
-
Thank you for your reply. I am actually using a pirate because I only own the non deluxe version on disk. I found elsewhere that I need to mod the game with NAM to be able to play it. So I am currently installing NAM. It is quite weird that they added highways in the non modded version of the game if they aren't used at all.

I have always loved Simcity 4. There were, however, always the same stupid bugs/problems. One of the biggest problems which I have never been able to tackle in my years and years of playing is traffic. I have tried anything from putting avenues everywhere, to making very complicated infrastructures. Because the traffic AI is so poorly programmed, I never had success. What I tried now, was highways. The sims literally don't use them. Not a single one. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? As you should be able to tell from the screenshots, the sims all go to the work next to their houses. None of them goes over the highway to the commercial or industrial zones above.
