There's a lot of detail on screen with all the cims walking around. Sure, each individual model is super low detail, but there can be hundreds or even thousands of them on screen at once. I'm actually amazed it runs as well as it does.

Been making another city, having fun with this one: the start of an urban metropolis, a bit of a mess right now but at least the traffic is working  The older heart to the city. Much more suburban now.  A small sleepy town on the outskirts of the city, a few offices provide work.  and a moderately large logging encampment for providing timber to the nearby area  An oilfield providing fuel for the city's power.

So, i'm hitting a wall. When i hit the point where I can build offices or other businesses that needs educated workers, my industrial section pretty much closes shop because anyone who can get a better job does so. Is there a way to attract uneducated workers to the city or make working at the plants seem better than an office?

In particular, you need more population than the schools you have can handle. Or build fewer offices.

Educated people in uneducated jobs drives industrial demand but is otherwise harmless. Once you unlock offices, you can't use the industrial demand to let you know what you actually need. Instead, base it on unemployment stats.

Yeah, ignore demand bars all together. Better yet get a demand mod that lets you adjust them or lock them to what ever you want. All that matters is your unemployment. Keep it around 10% or so and you won't have problems. Also gently caress stupid factories abandoning because they can't find staff at 10% unemployment, it's not your fault the game is really really slow and weird about assigning employees. They'll re-grow. And never ever listen to commercial demand, it's a terrible lie that will choke your city with trucks and employment complaints.

The Dropouts mod might also help, I've found industrial areas usually don't run into the doldrums as much as they used to.

…also, setting “school's out” as a city-wide policy works reasonably well too. It sounds scarier than it is in terms of not creating enough highly educated workers, but in practice, they'll all get educated sooner or later anyway.

It's hilarious how gigantic the High Interest Tower is compared to every other building. I put it on the waterfront near the river and blocked the view of like two thousand rich people. It caused my high density commercial zones to turn into low-density huge towers though, so that's weird? But also cool, because I wanted that. The weird thing now though is I have huge demand for industry/offices, but zero for residential and commercial, but they still get filled up anyway. Also what do I do about landfills? They have to be near residential zones because the trucks only go so far out of the city, but since it's high rises and towers it looks ugly, and causes a load of sickness, that even even two overlapping hospitals isn't helping. I'll send pictures of what I have later, I'm pretty proud of what I have so far! It's pretty griddy, but curves along and gets broken up. Traffic sucks but it mostly moves; I need to revamp most of the streets, get buses in place, and fix the taxi stands now that I understand how they actually work. About 33,000 cims there at the moment (I know it's an abstraction but lol that there's only 30,000 people in a city that size).

There's a few counterintuitive things going on with service buildings and I think landfills have all those same quirks. The first is that coverage area is based on road speed degrading service quality, so you can get better coverage with faster roads like highways or 6 lanes. But the other hand of that quirk is that the coverage area is only used for satisfaction. Actual efficacy is based on how fast the garbage trucks can get out there and grab garbage. So with lovely traffic, they will visit significantly less houses. And perfect traffic means they can end up with the time and inclination to travel way far out from their indicated coverage area. In general stick garbage facilities on the highway leading into your city. You have a highway diving into the city center, right? Alternately, they can find a home in an industrial district, which should be well serviced with highways or other fast road type stuff anyway for the industry, but you can cause some serious jams with garbage truck trains blocking stuff this way compared to them being in the relative sticks off a dedicated highway exit.

Yeah, though it all will need an overhaul (I dreaded this day) and another one crossing along. So just move the fills down near the highway (they empty fast enough thankfully), make an offramp to get to them, then make sure they can actually get back to it? Thanks, I had thought they were like the other services where they HAD to be nearby for the level system.

It still counts for satisfaction, but you shouldn't be mortified if a little corner isn't covered. But garbage service areas are loving huge, and if they are on a highway they should have good interconnection for covering huge swathes of city. Check to make sure the funding is set to normal and make sure your city isn't entirely made up of 2 lanes (who's speed kills service coverage dead)

I've upgraded the main arteries to four or six lane, though I'm hitting the point with the office districts where four lane will be needed. I guess that's the next big challenge!

I keep seeing these cities that appear to be planned out. Do you actually plan them, or is it judicious use of a bulldozer after the fact to add train lines and the works? I'm saying that my cities look like Beijing. Well, the bad parts of Beijing.

I have a rougu plan of where I want things on a map. I do the districts when I get to them and tend to plan an entire district out at once, then go in later for detailing. Fairly similar to how fluxtrance plans things, you should definitely watch his rhinestone island lets play on YouTube.

I have a vague idea of what I want (waterfront highrises and offices, logging industry in the forest) then go from there. For me the fun is seeing what impact your random stuff has. Like that interest tower! Didn't see the hill hotels popping up from it.
