Cims walk too much

[Bouyachaka]

Hi everybody !

In my city, cims never take their cars, they walk even if their work are very far...
It's pretty unrealistic and I don't like this.
Anyone have the same issue ?

I have some mods like Real Time and Traffic Manager, do you think it can cause these troubles ?

Thank you and sorry for the mistakes, english isn't my first language.

These two mods you're referring to are not causing such a problem. In this game cims love to walk. I know it can be a bit of unrealistic but this is how this game works. :)

I had real time months ago, then i unsubscribed. I can assure you that cims walk less on the streets now, but as Four Elements said "cims love to walk" anyway

Ok, thank you, i'm going to desactivate this mod to try.
And is there any mod to force cims to drive ?

Walking is a good thing, they will just cause traffic if they all use their cars

[Bouyachaka]

And that's exactly what I want (Yeah I know I'm weird)
But I don't want a functionnal city but a realistic city. And in the realistic city there is traffic jam ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Place some good assets your pop want to visit and build a bunch of commerce + industry

Yeah I hate how many sims are walking in areas you would see nobody walking in real life. Like next to coal power plants, etc. I would rather there by traffic problems I need to fix than everyone just walking. (I'm weird too lol)

On larger cities, cims will walk more and more, this is because there is only a 16k vehicle limit, but there is a 64k pedestrian limit.

Since industry and services need vehicles the most, then I imagine as you near your vehicle limit, your cims will be forced to walk

But I always force my cims to walk, by keeping them within 12-blocks (1km) of their destination, as they will prefer to walk. If they need to travel more than 1km, then they will spawn a vehicle and cause more vehicle traffic.

The best around this, is to build in balance. Get cims that need to drive into vehicles, and cims who want to walk near their destinations so they aren't tempted to drive.

For best results, avoid mods to force vehicles and citizens around. They game's AI is already designed for the game. It doesn't need altering, you just need to figure out what your cims want and give it to them.

Maybe switch over some roads to highways, such as roads that separate different areas. I don't think the cims can walk across highways.

You could tweak this just by changing the speed limit of the sidewalks and pedestrian paths. I don’t know if there are any mods that let you do this (TM:PE doesn’t, for example), but you can edit the roads in the Asset Editor.

When planning a route, the cims assume that they will be able to go the speed limit at all times. The cims generally pick the quickest route, though I believe that there is some randomness when routes are similar enough. The speed limit on the side walks is 25kph, if I recall correctly, and on the pedestrian paths it is 40kph. No pedestrian can actually walk that fast, but it makes even a pedestrian path that is longer than the roads look more attractive to the cims.

I presume that you could also write a mod that uses the real pedestrian speeds (which appear to be at least partly based on age category) during pathfinding instead of the speed limit, but that would be quite a lot of work even for that small change.
