That Mayor WAS a Disaster

Description
You know all of those unique buildings that have to be unlocked by unleashing unspeakable horrors upon your city? Yeah, that just happened. And the Cims ran their last mayor out of town. Now it's up to YOU to turn things around, get people to move back in, and increase the value of the city to impressive levels...with a few caveats.

Yep, that last mayor let crime run wild, let garbage pile up, encouraged mass unemployment, cruelly withheld healthcare from sick Cims, shut down all city services to rack up abandoned buildings...and then thought cutting everyone's taxes to 4% would make up for it all. But all that did was drain the city's budget surplus to something on a downward spiral toward bankruptcy.

Once boasting a population of ~14,000 Cims, you are down to fewer than 400 masochistic residents. Your city budget is running at a deficit of more than 11,000 per week. It's not looking good for the town of Byer-Biwair.

Scenario Overview

Win conditions: Have more than 5,000,000 money; population over 175,000; city value larger than 10,000,000.

Lose conditions: Build Eden Project, build 4 water drain pipes (3 already exist), build 4 oil power plants (3 already exist), build 4 landfill sites (3 already exist), build a coal power plant. Basically, don't make your city dirtier, but you also don't get an automatic cleanup and boost to city value with the Eden Project.

Disasters: No natural disasters. The previous mayor WAS the disaster. YOU are responsible for disaster recovery.

My own play-testing found that the original win parameters were unbalanced, as I had little notion of how city value worked. I tweaked city value to make more sense with the population requirements because my original city value goal was met decades before the rest of it. For play-testing purposes, I turned off all of my workshop assets and all mods, so this can be completed playing with the vanilla city service buildings.

Warning: An unintended consequence of making sure you use water treatment plans for sewage rather than building more dirty drain pipes is that the game considers the fresh water outlets introduced in Natural Disasters as drain pipes. I accidentally lost my own scenario that way.

Hey all, as a big scenario player myself and i remember playing this scenario before it broke (probably due to game updates) it was fun. I went and edited the scenario and fixed the triggers causing an instant loss on startup. So i hope you all enjoy as i did in the past. Big thanks for Karistina for making this original scenario. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3322882879

Following thread to see if this fun scenario gets fixed! @Karistina, this looks so fun! I hope when you have time you can fix it :) :stardrop:

Same problem as the others.

Yup, same as kcates94. Note that I do not have Disasters DLC and it says you need it - but I played earlier versions of this scenario successfully. Thanks much for updating for this latest update (which seems like it broke a lot of stuff). I agree 175k is a high goal, involving so much new city that little is left of the original.

Please remove or change the fourth drain pipe at the water pumps or allow for 5 drain pipes

I hope you can fix it, the premise looked entertaining.

Hmm, I will have to look into the problem and see if I can fix it.

This was one of my favorite maps to start with, but after a clean install i have the same problem as kcates94 below. The scenario fails upon loading because of 4 drain pipes build, and upon checking the goals the oil powerplants and landfill sites conditions have also been fullfilled on a clean load. Upon checking the map, there are only 3 instances of those items, so something somewhere goes wrong unfortunately.
I hope this either gets solved by an update to the map, or a game update, as it was working fine before the financial districts update.
