Tourists suddenly stop coming.
Anyone have any idea why tourists would suddenly stop coming to my town? I have no crime/health/garbage/sewage issue, there's an expo center with events regulaly going, 2 fully upgraded gambling hall...

Try bulldozing the ferries at the docks. Then plop them again. It should get it working again.
The region is completely borked still. Anything having to do with the region will always give you issues in some sort of fashion. Usually involves bulldozing regional buildings or garages, or terminals, or other things (et cetera)
Since region is now on our system in offline mode, maybe they can fix it easier.
ps, why do you think the cruise ships themselves hog cpu resources? That isn't trackable as far as I know.
I think it is just the massive tourists causing the resource hogging that the cruise ships bring into your city.
pss. What happened to spell check? It used to be a button, then it was auto-spellcheck, now nothing.
Great! We have 2018, Maxis is already closed and nobody fixed that problem. Thank you, the shittiest comapny on Earth.

There are so many variables for this game, and particularly casinos/tourism. I'm not saying that the game is perfect, there are some bugs that remain that are really maddening, but there are some workarounds, too. I don't know if you followed all of the tips given by nargacugarex or demolishing hotels tip by Rakdoos. It's just my opinion on this, but I think a lot of these problems are due to the transportation/pathing bug, which exists whether it's a casino city or not. There was a bug with casino draw back in the beginning when this thread was started, but they were re-tuned with a patch and its no longer an issue.
Make sure you're supporting the wealth type you're trying to attract. Zone the appropriate wealth commercial within walking distance from the hotel. I don't use casino hotel rooms, let the commercial build hotels within walking distance. For instance, if you're building high wealth casinos, you want to avoid medium wealth tourists and shopping. The biggest issue with a casino city failing in this manner is that high wealth tourists will leave if they have no nowhere to stay. If there are no high wealth hotels nearby they will leave, and if the high wealth transportation isn't within walking distance, then they get in taxis and clog the roads up. Or they get stuck in hotels and can't get back to the casinos, resulting in the need to demolish the hotels.
Watch your tourism maps and the traffic flow. Do the tourists walk to hotels? Is your transportation clogging up? Are all the utilities working properly (enough power/water/sewage)? How's the commercial and casino staffing? You don't ever want a casino to be closed due to no workers; again, a lot of times this can be because of traffic. I had to do a lot of reconfiguring of traffic flow in a city I did with casinos once, just because I couldn't get enough staffing to one of them. I had all high wealth casinos, but not enough low wealth workers to staff them. An arcology and mass transit for the low wealth workers, plus redoing roads to eliminate traffic jams, eventually solved the problem.
There are a lot of good videos out there on building casino cities, and how to deal with some of these issues. I really like Skye Storme's Let's Play Series. The part on building "Pleasure Island", the high wealth casino resort city, might help give you some ideas, tips and tricks.
- Hey.
Of course the game is not perfect.
Yes, I have checked everything. It is annoying, that for no reason the game is always finishing in the same way - bugs are making it not playable at all.
Traffic is always the same, no matter if I have every possible transport type, or only one.
Thank you for your reply, but please do not cover it like that. Demolishing the infrastructure to fix the bug is just pity.
Have a great day!- Yes, the bugs that remain (especially the tranportation and pathing issues) drive me crazy too. I understand what you're saying and agree that demolishing stuff shouldn't be your only option to fix a bug.
I've learned to work around the major bugs. For instance, I only ever build high wealth casinos with ferries as main transport, built within walking distance of the casinos. I rarely to never use train depots for anything because they bug out a lot. That sort of stuff.
Some people don't want to hassle with that and it makes perfect sense. It's really unfortunate that they stopped supporting the game, it could have been the premier city building program for all time.
I hope you find a way to enjoy the game as it is, or find another one that suits your play-style better. Thanks for the response - Happy Building!
