This works far better under NAM than under plain SimCity, where Sims will only ever avail themselves of one option, regardless of how overused it is. It also gives you far more options for transport.ĭecentralising your zones also helps with NAM installed, but you can also work by having some redundancy too - like having a subway and highway going to the same location. There is a mod called the Network Addon Mod that fixes this issue by making Sims take the shortest route by time to their location. Spamming bus stations is the easiest way to get mass transit going. At first the NYCHA focused on rehabilitating and remodeling existing tenements in the Lower East Side to transform them into public housing. Mass transit also helps, but again there is a tendency for Sims to ignore it. From SimCity 4 Devotion, ' The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) was created in 1934 in the midst of the Great Depression to provide badly-needed housing to New York Citys many working families.
Don't just have an industrial third, commercial third and residential third to your city, have several zones dotted around. The only way around this is decentralisation. This leads to some rather illogical travel paths where Sims will take the overburdened street and ignore your empty 6 lane highway right next to it.
In plain SimCity 4, Sims will take the shortest route by distance to their location.
