      Oh, and where do I put the Water Treatment plant if I have a lot of water pollution? Near the pump or near the facotires?

        Eli >> I wish I had the answer to the problem... but I don't, I'm having same problem

        And I haven't built any water treatment plants yet, since I don't have a city large enough for this...
        This space is empty... or is it?

          It seems that the sims choose roads over highways, when possible, and are generally stupid.

          Another question, how can I follow one of "my sims" to work? I want to see the route it takes.

              I cant seem to pass the 9-11k population limit. I heard there are limits in the game beyond which you have to build certain structure to continue growing? Is there a detailed explanation somewhere?

                Build a railway with passenger stations on both sides of the river. Also build some bus stations if you haven't, and subway when your population increases, or if you get really desperate.

                The best thing about mass transit is that you get ticket fees from the passengers. I make a decent profit with transit systems in most of my cities.

                  I think somewhere in between.
                  Check your water pollution overlay. If your pumps are near the water pollution, then put it near your pumps. If the pollution is just in the industrial sector (and spreading out towards the pumps) build it closer to the industry.
                  I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                      Eli, you're city has developed very well, but I think you need to organize your zones a little better so that you can control where the traffic goes.

                          I find the radius system of fire departments etc a bit annoying, because they are circles i never seem to be able to get the edges covered of certain zones, and they won't benefit from the schools etc!!! also, do i need to leave room for buildings later on, or should i just destroy some housing blocks if i need to build a new clinic or so...?

                            Just destroy.

                            I've foundd that trying to match radii doesn't work because it doesn't seem to give the buildings near the edge the benefit of the doubt. Overlap but keep your budget trimmed. As density soars you'll need 5 elementary schools where you had 2 so overlaps become obligatory for all the common buildings.

                            Eli you're actually making life a bit harder for yourself by restriocting so severely. Every housing estate should have a few shops nearby. Hi tech industry can be very close to housing without impacting on anything except the wealthiest houses etc.

                            I don't think it matters where water treatment plants go. I put my first near my farms and all pollution dropped. I put the second near my factories and it all dropped again.

                            I've now got under 6% pollution in a 78k city. That is partly because I've relocated most of the heavy industry next door though by setting taxes on $$ to 11% and having a second region as 99% heavy industrial with 11% on $$$ (to keep the high tech in the main area.)
                            To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

                              Both farms and factories produce a large amount of water pollution, so this doesn't show whether it would work in a non polluted area. (although i believe it would, so long as it is connected to the water system)

                                You should organize your zones so that Commerical zones are in between Industrial and Residential. It's better (for traffic purposes) if your Residential zones are seperated in neighborhoods where traffic can only go one way. You also want fewer intersections. Intersections cause the traffic problems you are having. Notice how the bad traffic areas are worse at intersections?
