[rcollin26]

im trying to make a car dependent city and there are waaaaaaaay to many people walking to places, is there a way to make them drive instead?

edit: should have mentioned i wanted a CAR DEPENDENT city

Only use low density zones, separate neighborhoods with highways, do not use any public transit, use proper road hierarchy to reduce traffic jams.

You'll likely end up with major traffic congestion but hey, you're entitled to create your city however you like. Place commercial, office and industrial far away from residential, so far that the cims won't walk.

im using only low density but im using rico assets that are realistic but say they are high density for some reason even though it definitally doesnt look like it. I dont have any public transit and don't plan on it

im just starting it off so everything is still somewhat close to eachother so maybe thats why

Cims will walk long distances and bike even further.

get realistic population

Don't know how to make them drive cars but there IS a way to make damn sure they don't walk again. It's big and noisy and yellow and runs on two track. Run that over them a time or two and their done walking.

You'll want to be very careful however what you wish for.
You just might get it.

i had when starting my city and a lot of them walk

build small(ish) seperated districts that are pure residential, comercial or industry.
connect those districts with highwayroads only, they have no sidewalks so pedestrians cannot use them.
don't put education into residential districts.
that way every cim will find themselfes locked into their district as pedestrian, they will need to use cars to go to another district to go to school, work, shopping.

With the 'Lifecycle Rebalanced Revisited' mod, you can adjust the prefered method of transport for different categories of cims. Perhaps setting all these to use a car (100), and the rest to (0) will get you the result you're looking for. Don't forget to untick the option called 'Use custom transport mode probabilities'.

ok thanks ill try it out

Walking is the preferred mod of transportation for your cims. Given a choice that will always be their first. While moving them all into cars using Coookyman's approach is probably a clear possibility it also runs the risk of so severely congesting your traffic that gridlock shuts your city down. And if gridlock doesn't get ya the 16k VA limit will.

Coookyman does a lot with Procedural Objects that might act to reduce the number of cims. or you might consider a combination of metro and underground walkways to get them off the sidewalks and out of sight.

Anyway Your Game Your Rules. Best of Luck.

Just grab TMPE and turn of crossing everywhere, then they can only walk around their little block

Edit: On a more serious note, you'll probably only have to disable crossing at a few key intersections to greatly reduce the number of people that walk.

You want your cims walking. Walking cims have a limit of 64k at once, while vehicles only get 16k driving at once.

You have a problem most people want to have.

Also, bicycles are considered vehicles, so maybe you have bicycling policies enabled? or a lot of bicycle lanes?

[MaxFX]

You can double the vehicle limit though, from 16.383 to 32.767 using this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1764208250
