CO$$$ desirability-need too high

[Mercurio]

Hey guys!

I've got a problem with this desirability-boost for CO$$$...

Yesterday I played CAM without the changes in desirability and traffic networks and it worked well... just like it was before there was CO$$$ in merely good places everywhere in the city centre.
Now I installed the engine-core of CAM with the traffic changes and so on and now i just WONT get CO$$$, even the demand is at max and people are 180 educated.
I already tried to create a small CO$$$-centre with a huge area of parks around it, bunches of police stations, fire departments and so on.
actually they DID build 2 or 3 small (50 jobs in a 1,2 mio city) CO$$$ but when the ppl came to work there the small air pollution of around 300 cars was enough to get the CO$$$ to leave the area.
also the parks created an insane amount of criminality which had a big influence too.

Now could there be any conflict in my plugin folder causing this after reinstalling the CAMcore or is this a normal thingy?
if so i'd like to know how i could change the CO$$$ desirability-need back to standards because at this stage its simply weird...

Thx in advance

Which desirability boost? Is it an ordinance or a lot? Could you please clarify that a bit?

Regarding demand related questions in general,
I would prefer if you could provide a snapshot of the query window from the Census Repository Facility, Version 2.

CAM changes the minimum attractiveness in the commercial zones to grow CO$$$.

so if i dont put a ridiculous amount of parks around a tiny commercial zone they wont even build a 30 workers CO$$$ building. its just not attractive enough..

now that i updated sc-deluxe it seems to get a little bit better as CO$$$ isnt 0% anymore but i'd still like to change the CO$$$-need of attractiveness back to SC4-standards.

here a pic of CO$$$ after updating SC4:

As i know CAM changes the needed desirability in a spot to be 120/200 instead of 50/200 to get a CO$$$ building... so if someone could plz tell me how to change that back to standards i'd be glad.

i had around 100k CO$$$ jobs in a city and now after reinstalling they're almost all abandoned due to lack of attractiveness

I don't think it's the desirability threshold that's keeping your CO§§§ from growing.
There are 204,126 available jobs in the city, but still no commuters coming from your surrounding cities.
Are your residential cities properly connected to this one?

The CO§§§ drives aren't that immensly high yet.
There is clearly a bigger need for I-HT than for CO§§§ at the moment.
Nevertheless, the RCI type growing the fastest in this city is CO§§§, +17,441 during the last year.

Since the highest desirability value is 200, a desirability threshold of 120 shouldn't normally be a problem.
You could check the desirability dataview for CO§§§ to be certain there aren't any negative desirability factors.

The factors that would reduce CO§§§ desirability the most are:
- radiation
- crime
- garbage (since CS are the largest garbage producers, check this especially)
- air pollution
- lack of landmark effect (provided by plazas and landmarks)
- lack of traffic effect (no customers)
