WIN 10 Edition - Servies and EMS not working and most parks/items within showing no visitors

[rafarios]

Fire stations not sending vehicles, causing lots of fires in the city. Services in pedestrian zones not sending vehicles. Hospitals empty and not sending vehicles causing lots of sick citizens. The only emergency vehicles seen are police vehicles. most parks/items within showing no visitors when visitors can be seen in the area. Is there an update/patch in the works?

Xbox one x/PS 4. More information please. What system? DLC's or CCP's. Traffic % ? Population size? Is there pollution, water or noise? You might be at vehicle limit.

These are all symptoms of a city design issue, which cannot be fixed in a game patch.

Common causes are heavy traffic, too many one way roads, narrow links between city centres, that kind of thing. If you post screenshots of your city, including some with the traffic filter on, folks will be able to help you in more detail.

Thank you for the response. I had tried to find a way to contact support directly, but no luck. I do not believe it is city design. I never had the issues above until the update in December. The main issues are, Hospitals, Fire stations and Service buildings (pedestrian areas) are not sending vehicles. There are no vehicles in the roads from those servies and EMS. Hospitals are empty, lots of sick people and fires that are not being responded to. Fire stations show 0 out of 40 vehicles in used. Before the last update those types of vehicles was able to be seen driving around. For example when when a building was on fire I was able to see the fire truck in front of the building responding. I tried building a small city and have the same issue. I had worst cities before, but never had the issues above. It started after the update in December.

CITY

Service Points - 0 Vehicles in use

Hospital - Empty and 0 vehicles in used

Fire Response - 0 Vehicles in used - Started the fire and waited to see if any vehicles responded to the site. Note the distance from the fire station to the fire site

Well, it always has been before ... ! But I'm not enough of a gameplay expert to comment on your particular case; perhaps @MarkJohnson or @Ragga Muffin can chime in here.

Screenshots of your street layout showing one way roads, and of the levels of traffic, might be useful.

Good luck!

I don't own the newer DLC, but the lack of workers in your mill district are from lack of residential.

You need at least 5% or more unemployment, I try for around 20% unemployment, so I can have a large worker pool to keep business ready for workers.

thats a pedestrian zone, im not sure if that stops emergency vehicals. but it looks like you have found out they wont work from it at least
they will serve it, but they wont drive out on to it from the station
with the parks, you have to make sure all of the entrances are park gates, particularly if you are charging for them, it also helps to have some attractions inside the park
i know you on console, and me to btw but next time you have such a general question about game play admin will most likely not mind you posting on main forum
ty AndrewT for shout, i dont check here every day and all the main action is on main forum.
much resourses here and there further down through the pages

Xbox one x/PS4. I have a pedestrianized city of 24k running smoothly with no issues. Built to get the achievements. Services are working fine. Police, Fire, Ambulance and Hearses can be seen driving on the pedestrian streets. There are helicopters response services also. There is pedestrianized forestry industry and a non pedestrian generic industrial area. Cargo can also arrive via highway or rail. Traffic is fluctuating around 87%. Though I was just tweeking some roads to smooth out flow. Mass transit is via Trams.
You need to provide more information if you would like help.

I have posted screenshots above including the small city layout. I created the small city just for the purpose of showing the empty hospitals and the "0" vehicles not in used.
