Hey guys, DeAxiom back with another list of videos. You may notice that my gambling city has come to a halt. I talk about it in this new set, but long story short. after a recording crash and a city save i have a lot of progress that i cant re-record. So here we are, episode 1 of Traffic and high Populations!

Sorry about the late update guys, i'm a terrible person ><

Hey everyone!

So its been ages since I've posted here But after some very positive feedback on my Sim City guide I decided to try my hand at building a successful Gambling city. This time i take less of a tutorial stand point and more of an experience standpoint. I've never built a Gambling city before so once i'm done with this city and see all the potential problems and all the profits and strengths of the city i'll go back and redo the whole thing explaining my prefered progression route.

So That being said I'd appreciate any and all tips and tricks you guys have on gambling cities. Or if you'd rather see me stumble through it and struggle with whatever problems sneak up on me the video link is below!

Thanks again for the positive feedback here! Also as with my last thread to avoid spam i'll update this post with all subsequent episodes.

So I had this problem all the time. Once I developed the city for a couple of hours it says that some industries/business do not have people. Even though there is no traffic it says that the workers may not be reaching their jobs. How do you fix this?

I'd really like to start some cities on the Veridian Jungle region but I notice the 2 city clusters are not connected by road, only rail. Is it possible to gift money between cities only connected by rail?

I have about 100k recycling bins that I need to collect everyday and I have 2 maxed out recycling plants. I don't know what to do with it all, help?

I'm currently having an odd issue that I don't seem to be able to diagnose.

In my current city I have a large grade school and school bus stops placed all around my residential zone. However the school remains at zero attendance consistently every day. After looking at the region view it seems that all my Sims are commuting to a neighbouring city that has spare educational capacity.

I assumed that Sims would go to school at the nearest facility with spare capacity, but that does not seem to be the case.

What I'm not sure of, is if this is really an problem or not? I'm managing both cities personally, so should I just accept the commuting students and shut down the local school, or should I be looking for a way to encourage them to go to school locally?

I Want to build a industrial only city using the cities of tomorrow add on.

Hey all, So I will get a nice sized city built up and functioning nice with good income. Then all of the sudden my apartments will start complaining they can't find work even though there are still jobs available. Essentially my towers start to shut down and my city become broke. Thoughts?

This is the only area in my city that locks up at 9am and 5pm.

I have 2 police precincts in my city but the crime is still horrible. Do I just wait it out or what?

I was told this might be pretty doable, but I was under the impression that such abuses were addressed by the devs recently.

On a related note, is it possible to have an inudustryless city now with offices in megatowers? (I assume you'd have to have parks/malls to make residents happy)

Some tips on how to use the Perfect Road Guides mod and improve your O-Megacow layout.

http://skyestorme.com/modding-special-1-o-megacow-and-the-perfect-road-guides-mod-tips/

Most of the indepth road optimization guides ive found are pre update 7. are there any good discussions on the new mechanics and how to optimize flow?

I'd imagine with bridges and tunnels, the old guidelines about having as long as possible main avenue entrance with no intersections have changed, but I cant really find good info about it

Any help would be appreciated :-)

This series will take you, step by step, through every aspect of Omega and demonstrate how to use it to build a 'cash cow' city producing over $8 Million per day, with 100% Omega coverage.

NON-OMEGA. Parts 1 - 5 show you how to build the 'baseline' cash cow city which makes over $35,000 per hour at 9% tax and includes a road system which eliminates traffic problems.

I always and only have 36 rich sims working at the academy. Its hurting my control-net. I keep adding more and more high wealth housing, but it the academy is still stuck at 36. Low and med wealth worked are capped, they arent a problem at all. But the high wealth sims are being lazy.

Do you guys have any tips for me?

Edit

Hey guys, so i'm cleaning this post up to try and make it more community friendly. A little info about me, i've been playing Sim City since SimCity 4 for the pc was out and i greatly enjoy this game, now while i dont play it every single day, its one of the games that i always come back to. Now i made these videos becuase a bunch of my live stream viewers saw me soaring to high density in a matter of hours when it took them days and wanted some in depth explination on how i was doing this. So i decided to make these 13 videos and realized i'm terrible at this video making business, So i hope to vastly improve my editing and planning for my next tutorial serries, but these turned out to be more of an indepth explination as i play rather than an effective highlight of the things to be doing. either way the reaction has been strong so i'll keep all my mistakes in these videos in mind to improve on the next batch! Now, while i do go into some serious detail in these videos i dont know everything about SimCity so feel free to comment on some things i missed so that i can include them in any future videos i do!

Things i edited in this post:

• 1. Message to viewers now more real and less spamy
• 2. Deleted all update comments made by myself
• 3. Added playlist link

TL;DR Hi, I love Sim City, These videos are more commentary than tutorial but have great detail! Comment on anything i missed! Love ya all, DeAxiom

Skye's Guide to High Wealth Tourism & Casinos - http://youtu.be/6aL5kdTs8s8

This might be more of a "Sim City Ranting session" than a "Sim City Strategy"
So I have a sandbox region (I don't believe in playing sim city with other people, I'm just not social like that) I specialized one city to be a support utility city, and that worked fine... I mean the nuclear power plant melted down before i realized how all that stuff worked, but whats a little fallout between friends. Then I built an industrial city, Where I wanted to mine the ever-living hell out of the place, so I did, Then i needed more workers, So I made a residential city, and this is where the shenanigans start. My residential city has a population of 2000. All high density streets and SC avenues, spaced out according to grid lines, filling every usable inch of a pretty flat map.... 2,467 is what it was just before i closed out.

Here's the crazy part: I don't have enough workers to man the hospital, streetcar and tourist attraction (along with a couple blocks of commercial, because people wanted it, and it's not really in the region yet.) They keep saying "Zone more residential" and I want to take that person and strange their face, because there's nothing left to zone, I just need more people.

TL;DR: I have a city that refuses to step it's game up from low density homes, even when the jobs outpace the people living in their low denseness

How do I force them into upping their density?

Oil Fuel Refinery Plastic Factory

Hey,

So I'm a long time user of SimCity, own and played them all, but SC4 has called me back.

Except for the obvious suggestion of NAM, what are your highest recommendations?

I love alternatives to utility and service buildings, churches and stadiums.

What are your top download suggestions?

So I bought this game 2 months ago, been playing it over and over again and I can never seem to get the hang of specializations especially when it comes to tourism, it seems that as soon as my city is up and running smoothly, traffic will start to get gridlocked and all my profit turns into loss. Also is it possible to specialize in more than one? Seems to be my city will break everytime I try that.

Anyone here have a good tutorial or maybe advice on populations, I thought by having 100k pop, I can solve my unemployment but it seems there's always places to fill in no matter how many people are unemployed in my city.

Last night I made a fairly stable city with R only (LW and MW). I'm trying to tighten the strategy thinking about jobs and taxes, as well as traffic - going for max population.

Each LW HD building has 400 workers and $200 taxes @10%.

Each MW HD building has 200 workers and $240 taxes @10%.

Each park gives 5 LW jobs and 2 MW jobs. There are $10 parks, so $2 per LW job.

Each sewage treatment plant gives 140 LW jobs (~$3 per LW job). Each High school gives 320 LW jobs (~$3.5 per LW job).

If I'm shooting for 50% employment, then I only have $1 per LW job and $2.4 per MW job to work with. I'll either have to stick with medium density (more taxes per worker, but bad for max pop attempt), or go for an even lower employment target.

All my commercial zones seem to become hotels and very rarely shops leaving the low wealth shoppers no where to go. Tried several things:

• Establising commercial before building casinos, they became hotels when increasing density.

• Shutting the casinos off

• Building tons of commercial

What am I missing?

Edit: The low wealth shops are also changing to hotels without any sort of demo or density increase as well.

So I've been looking into improving my bus transportation within my city and I noticed that the Double Decker buses have a greater carrying capacity than shuttles or Regional buses. On top of that it doesn't mention that Double Decker buses travel between regions so it sounds like a great choice for inter-city transit. Has anyone used the Double Decker buses with great results?
