SC4 Education Issues

[I275westcoastflorida]

So basically whatever city I start and play the education always stays low and won't go up. I try building schools, colleges, etc, but still in the red, I still get a middle class and maybe some $$$ but after a while this haults growth. Education funding is also to the max and its still in the red. I have a lot of plugins and some mods, so it maybe a result of some mod or plugin, are there any out there known to cause this? My city really doesn't have any custom education buildings in it, what mods out there adjust education funding or costs?? I demolished all of my maxis education lots and tried with a 2x education multiplier and it helped ever so slighty but didn't change much. So I deleted that mod and now am stuck with what to do, none of the education lots I have increase education, I just used the maxis lots when building one city. This is not the Phantom Funding Sliders Bug as my funding doesn't change. When I do a query on a residential lot it shows the education as being high, same for the opinion polls. But when in the education graph or the visual on the map, its in the red and is a low EQ. I have SC4 Deluxe, and everything else is fine, so really I have no clue what could be causing this! Any help would be very appreciated!

I have once experienced a very similar problem with the mayor rating in one of my cities.
Regardless how many parks, rewards, trees, etc. I plopped, the mayor rating got stuck in deep red.

Unfortunately I never found a solution to it, as it seems to be a bug in the game itself.
In the end I obliterated the whole city and restarted it in order to get rid of the problem.

Hi I275westcoastflorida,
Have you found any answers yet? My Sims keep complaining about wanting a degree but they can't find the college, even if the college is almost right next to them. I can't get them educated. Would love some advice.
