Hello guys! Yes: I do regurarly play THE KING of all city builders! Right now I'm having a few issues regarding jobs and nights. I'll explain the latter better with images. I mean: is this supposed to look like this? I don't remember having that before... I'm playing with the SimFox day-n-nite mod. The other issue is about jobs and abandonement. No matter what I do, no matter that I follow demand religiously, that I don't do crazy things, I take my time (I zone slow)... my hi wealth buildings are always (and I do mean always) downgrading (and in some cases abandoning). I have lots and lots of Hi-Tech industry and a good numeer of Co$$$ buildings, too. Maybe I didn't apply the "Missing I-Ht jobs" patch correctly? Could that be the case? I mean: if I query mi Hi-Tech factories, they are never full, but always half-empty (average 50-70 sims employed on a total 130 or so jobs). And, can someone please help me read this? This is a screenshot from a different city (I'm starting to have no-jobs zots in this one as well, and these are from Mid-wealth homes!!!), and it's from the "Chamber of Commerce" plugin. I've even read the read me, but I still don't know how to read all those numbers. I'd really appreciate some help! Thank you a lot! Your precious help is always appreciated!

Hello Guys! I've seen even in some of the CJs around that someone uses the River Rock Shopping Mall BAT. I've dowloaded it myself but don't seem to be able to use it in my cities because it keeps being abandoned due to commute time... anyone having the same problem? Is the plugin ruined? Thanks

Hello guys, this is my first comment/thread on Simtropolis, so far I was only a passive visitor, but now I have a strange problem, and I really need your help guys. First of all sorry for my english - I will try my best. Second I read a lot of thread in here and on other pages about my "no job" problem, but I haven't found any solution yet. I know about the commute time problem, I have NAM so my problem isn't about transportation (I think). The problem: I have 2 cities in my region: 1 city around 130k pop (I-DI, I-M, some I-HT), and one more about 30k (lots of commercial, only I-HT), next to each other, connected with train, highway, avenues. Everything seems fine, I have profit in both, great demand for almost everything except industry, and the cities are stable. If I zone residental anywhere, they will definitely find job, and start growing. Image1: The 2 cities in the region and the place of the planned cities Image2: Taxes and other informations on City1 (Industrial city) Image3: Taxes and other informations on City2 (HT and commerc. city) Then every time I try to start a new city (next to one of them), I have no job on my residentals from the start! I know about the R$$$ problem, and I'm trying to keep them on 20-30% of total residentals, so that's not the point. If I have R$$ or even R$ in my third city, they have absolutely no job.I zoned next to them commercial and industrial zones. The commercial zones growth fast, service and office both, but there was ZERO demand for ANY kind of industrial. And the commercial offices and services were empty. There was no traffic, no workers (tooltip said), only no job. When I connected the city to the highway system, the no job sign disappeard everywhere, and the residental zones started to grow. To a small point, where the no job appeard again at this time because the commute time. I tought it's because the a 2 other cities so I choosed another point at the region far from this cities, without ANY connection to existing cities, only 1 to to an empty city because of freight. Happens the same. I started from the very start, mostly low-wealth and some medium-wealth residental normal taxes around 8-9% for everything. There is a few industrial unit but there are no workers but no job signs. They only want to work in commercial businesses, and only a few of them. Image4: What's happening in the third city? Image5: WTF Why is this happening? And why there is a tonns of commuter between the 2 other cities, if they have proper job for their sims? This makes the commute time from 15 to 50 (when the commuting started between the 2 cities I had 15 commute time then I connected the highway)? There is no problem at the other cities, I can zone everything, and the thing going just fine (except the mass travelling between the 2 cities) If you need any more information, please just tell me. I can't start another city with any population
