New to CAM, loving it but have a minor issue.

[foskcoa4]

As the subject states I am fairly new to CAM and I've been scouring the internet for answers before I made an official post.

Anyway my issue is, with CAM installed my residential won't grow past the smaller side residential 4x4 buildings. For example the Primeavera instead the Ong Condos in the Houston Building set, and Idylic View Condos instead of Twin Peak Towers for Euro.

I installed the CAM Residential Pack and installed all the stages that involved R$$$ as well as all of the dependencies required.

I did the above statement with CO$$$ and it works amazingly for the most part. Mostly all stage 10 CO$$$ according to CAM counter but I see Pan Pacific Buildings growing.

Anyway the only mod I have that I can see that may be interfering is RadicolOneDemand Mod, I have it set to R$$$, CO$$$, and I-HT. (Mod gives 6000 active demand for categories listed).

For CO$$$ and I-HT its great, I just can't get past stage 7 R$$$.

When I take CAM out of the picture I get Ong Condos and Twin Peak Towers.

I love CAM and I would love to see my R$$$ to grow as well.

Side note: My city block building strategy is 8x12 (so I can fit 6, 4x4 tiles in a 2x3 configuration). Smaller tile dimensions as space fillers.

Any help would be much appreciated,

FoskcoA4.

If I'm not mistaken, most - if not all - mods that alter the demand, are incompatible (or inCAMpatible) with the CAM. This might have something to do with your problem.

EDIT: Yes, the demand mod you mentioned is definetely not compatible with CAM. Check out this list.

The mod could be modded to give 24,000 demand instead of 6,000 for residential/commercial...

Otherwise, as you've found, the game sticks demand to 6,000, which simply isn't enough for many buildings.

The PanPacifics shouldn't be growing at all if demand's only 6,000...they have almost four times that capacity! When you downloaded the model, did you make sure to delete the lot file that came with it?

How about xxdita's Turbo Mod?

It IS CAMpatible!

XX Turbo v1.0 Description:
This mod expands the RCI Demand Graph, from -10,000 to 50,000. It also increases the maximum growth rate to 52,000, in order to speed up the game a bit, provided you have enough demand, and the ability to handle it all. And to get your cities started faster, Initial Demand for R$, CS$, ID, and IR has been boosted to 500 each, to start out with a little more oopmh. Not recommended for systems that are already starting to smoke when you play the game. This mod has been tested extensively with CAM & SC4 Deluxe/Rush Hour, with no compatibility issues. If using CAM, the install path is very important, in order to load xx_turbo after CAM.

Don't forget to make backups!

Cheers

Thank you very much Biriali, I should have actually read the first paragraph on the list rather than skimming through it. When I ran Cleanitol it only got rid of my stage caps mod so I thought I was safe ><.

HappyDays - I tried to change the values in SC4tools with that .dat modifier but I was having trouble getting them to balance out. I most likely didn't delete the model, I see the building in my plugins as a .dat with (model) in parenthesis. I was sure if I needed to delete it.

Gringamuyloca - I tried that one out and I didn't like it as much as RadicolOne. The demand was crazy, I had R$, R$$ pretty much maxed out and R$$$ was barely registering. I'll have to give it another shot. I was hoping there was a version out there that was more customizable.

If I was more proficient in editing .dats it would be much easier.

Thank you guys for the prompt responses, I really appreciate it. I still have a lot to learn about making unrealistic metropolises.

Have been trying to post back for a while now, seems as though the server was down.

I downloaded that xxdita one and opened it in iLive as well as edited the max values for R$$, R$$$, Cs,CO$$ and $$$ all to 50k.

The demand shows up as 50k but the same issue arises, still same stage 7 buildings. /sigh

Well...it could be your region isn't big enough for the larger buildings to grow. See this thread:

Here's the bulk of my region.



The region itself should be large enough to sustain the residential capacity NAM needs. Each city has roughly over 1 million sims, a few about 2.5 mil and one at 3.9 mil.



I think I may just as well reinstall CAM with all the dependencies and make sure I get every Cleanitol file ran for sure, again.
