For unemployment: You need to rebuild your offices as there was a bug. And you def need to get your education up. You have such a HUGE deficit of higher education. That is your biggest problem. Yes there’s going to be some upfront costs.

Make the metro bigger for no reason

the electricity aspect of this game is actually really impressive

Here you have some tips for the next episode :) 1 As a quarter of your citizens are highly educated you should create more offices instead of just generic industry, I bet that will fix your unemployament issues. 2 You should also spend some of your research points because they might help with some of the other problems.

12:30 This made me realize the game needs a map mode that shows the load on city services. For electricity this would be colour shades from bright to dark to show how much of a lines/plants capacity is in use. Just like one would for traffic levels.

I believe you were on the right track regarding assigning districts to various service buildings. I'd recommend finish establishing your districts first, then leverage that data to redistribute your services (garbage, education, etc). You may want to consider doubling up where appropriate on education in districts to help too. Also, use trees to buffer the sound from the highway. The thicker the tree, the more you can muffle the sound

For noise problem just build sound barriers on all sides of the road. Fo getting more commercial demand - lower taxes for people so they will have more money for leisure. Than you can bump up commercial tax to get more money.

It took me a while to figure this out myself, but when the demand meter says "-unoccupied buildings" it means you have too many zoned areas, in other words, your number of zoned squares for that zoning type is too much and making demand go down, hence the negative sign. Hope that helps

you have to put sound barriers on the highway ,check noicepollution info. afterwards.

Upgrading ur education wold boost ur demand for offices and it wold decrease the unemployment in ur city

The unemployment is for your service for the school system and other needed services jobs. And with as slow as the trucks are moving around the map, it be good to set up a central cargo hub in your new industry area that is creating all the absolute needs of the citizens of the city. It be cool to actually know what the city is paying for government employees.

Some jobs need more highly educated people and that might be the problem, so youd definitely need to beef up your education system especially in higher education which your really lacking in

Also the garbage issue is also related to districts. So you really do need to get that set up

Replacing your all the schools with the 2 new schools is very cost effective as the 1st vanilla school cost approx 145,000 and the new ones cost way way less

If you want to do any development in any tiles you have not yet purchased, use anarchy and it will make it possible. For noice pollution use trees between house and highway and also add sound bars in the highway, you will love it

For your electricity, if you’re over producing too much, that can actually be a bad thing. CPP experienced this in his last live stream

Love the progress! For the unemployment issue but low demand for job creation zoning such as industry, offices, commercial etc. I think the problem can be solved with these two changes: firstly your taxes are too high so demand after new zoning bounces back slower than had there been lower taxes for those zones. So reducing taxes to get them developed then ramping up taxes once they are in might be the play. Secondly the international airport from my testing boosted job creation zoning. So if you plop that I think you’ll see more demand. Hope that helps! Excited to see more of Bixton as it grows.

The abundant homeless people are working in the jobs! Look at the jobs info tab for the total jobs and note that there are few available, then look at the people info which shows that you have fewer people employed than the jobs available these are homeless people working. 1- demolish every office building and let them rebuild which will fix the too few employees bug. 2- there is now a mod that will look for all people who are stuck "looking for housing" and change their status to moving away (some will find a house once the queue is reduced so the AI can catch up.) you will see a big surge of people leaving and moving in to rebalance the jobs and housing. I did this and gained 7k new citizens and had commercial and industrial demand again for the first time since the update. 😊

I would recommend an overhaul of all your public services, particularly your public transportation and education systems. That should hopefully improve the overall quality of life for citizens and then education with the new school assets and transport to provide access to the industrial jobs on the outskirts of town, with the hope of reducing traffic and car dependence that might be stopping people from getting work.

When Commercial demand craters I found it was because the residential taxes were too high. So between Rent and Taxes, the people had very little spending money for shopping.

15:30 or so: well technically people aren't more susceptible to noise, but streets and especially highways just emit more (realistic?) noise. Some other noise values have been adjusted as well, so it's worth looking at the list in patch notes. This doesn't seem like it's a huge difference if it's susceptibility or generation for noise that was changed, but it does matter when considering placing residential next to other (unchanged) noise sources, where the effect should also be unchanged. So it's not necessary to generally keep more distance, just to highways in particular is what I'm trying to say.

Spread out your recycling centre around the city, delete old office buildings

The ❤ hearts ❤ are to show cims enjoying valentine's day, either at home or at a restaurant.

I believe those hearts are for businesses that are popular during Valentine's Day.

I love seeing an upload from you, it always makes my day i hope you know ❤️

If you balance your economy successfully then restore the original sliders on the services. You reduced budgets for key industries like garbage and healthcare which may be causing the garbage pile up issue.

I think it would be a good idea to expand downtown Bixton

The unemployment while having no demand for industry and office is almost surely lack of educated cims. Homeless bug could be hurting you (theres a mod that thanos snaps the bugged stationary homeless every in game 1.5hr) and the office bug is hurting you if you havent regrown the offices since that happened

try to select operating districts for your service buildings, you'll see increased and efficient use of all your service buildings especially schools.

The homeless mod ONLY fixes the homeless bug, it doesn't kill them or anything, it just resets the queue of people looking for a house... Your taxes will rebalance after you fix the office and homeless bugs and you can invest in education to meet your needs..

Your hospital is using almost all of its available ambulances so you should add ambulance capacity if you can to serve the sick people waiting for ambulances to get help.

Also if unemployment is high check your offices for the pffice bug (5 employees) gotta demolish and let em rebuild

Increase all the parking fees to 50

Great video as always Timeister, the heart that you see happens in February and it's for Valentines. If you go back and watch, you see it always happens in February.. Cool huh....

When you said Les Deux Lacs, i thought u had a stroke 💀

When you look at the population panel, above unemployment it’s showing employed people and jobs. You have 20k jobs not filled. I think if you really increase your schools your people will be able to take those jobs

This update has been *Pacha's kiss

Also delete all the office buildings and let them grow back again. That will help with the workers count

Put a save game of bixton on pdx mods

Reduce your electricity budget to 100%, i think it is 120% right now, not sure if it is worthwhile to spend money to produce extra electricity and then sell it to outside connections...

It be cool if they added private schools to the game where richer areas can pay their kids to go to school

Next episode can we see your needs on import and export

As stated use sound barriers.

Enjoying your content. I just uploaded my first ever gameplay video!😁

Awesome video! Please continue to NOT use mods!! 🌺👍🏻😁

You’ve got plenty of money in the bank. Take care of your education capacity so you can employ more people for more tax revenue.

Your underspending on Education is causing high unemployment and the lack of revenue you need. Use your savings and and get to proper education levels and the spending will come. You've properly Identified the issue multiple times but won't follow through with the proper solution. There is no help we can give you if you don't do what is right.

You need to invest in the education pipeline. Initially it means more investment, but it will solve te unemployment on long term. Enough money to invest!

investing in education will bring you the tax paying high skill worker u need!

Hi

16:20 gotta disagree. Noise pollution from cars, especially on motorways, is just as bad for people in denser neighbourhoods, and are really not something dense neighbourhoods create themselves - car traffic is more something the suburbs create than the actual urban cities, after all. But it could be realistic to have wealthier residents complain at lower noise levels? Poorer people have to put up with is and don't think their voices matter as much so they don't even try to complain.

bro did everything exept expanding the subburbs

Living under the highway would be worse than hell 😂😂

you have 91000 jobs and 75000 employed ,so ,16000 are still not fill in ,if understand it 17:41 ,why we need to put more industry if we16000 open jobs ??

Aren't those hearts indicating when new Cims are created by their parents over few minutes of passionate encounter..........it's only logical hahahahah

I enjoy your videos but can you please stop saying “guys” every 30 seconds.
