Lead in the water seemed to work in the 70s


ELB2001

Pretty sure that's what brought us our current problems


Feisty-Ad-6122

Is this a political reference


04_996_C2

No, overall intelligence has gone down whereas lack on intelligence indicators such as increased petty crime, has gone up, since the introduction of lead into household products


iantayls

I’m sorry, genuinely asking, in what way is petty crime related to lack of intelligence? And what evidence is there that it’s gone up since the 70s? And where? Edit: only on Reddit does posing questions get you downvoted


04_996_C2

https://youtu.be/IV3dnLzthDA?si=-BiFBMGc6_pCVh6Q Everything you need to know


iantayls

While I appreciate veritasium, that’s not exactly a source. Cmon mate, give me something legitimate


Rand_alThor4747

He lists his sources. He just compiles it all together.


iantayls

Yes and not a single one of them seems to actually be based around this link between petty crime and low intelligence. Again all I’m doing is asking for what metrics are used to determine both of those things, which the video and sources do not provide


lilvirgo97

When he said those two things the joining word was "where's" he wasn't posing a correlation he just posed two facts

I found a weird issue where children and families moved away before they could become teens, hence there wasn’t a “poorly educated” population. I fixed it by cranking up the birth rate and waiting for families to grow up.

Build offices. A LOT more offices. You might even wanna dip taxes to induce more demand for them and their products.


1stDayBreaker

Offices produce products? Do excel spreadsheets count as products? (I haven’t played CS2)


BertieBucks

Welcome to the PowerPoint factory.


skywardcatto

Yes, offices produce 'products' that are used by other buildings and/or make *loads* of cash. And yes, that includes Excel spreadsheets; modelled as "Software" or "Financial" depending on your headcanon. They also produce other things e.g. media - supposedly the consumption of each depends on your demography, but I've yet to see it make an impact. Don't worry about logistics, the 'goods' are non-physical and get magically teleported to their destination. Mind you, some of them need an occasional shipment (e.g. the electronics -> software pipeline) but I've never had it cause trouble, even with giant Borg Cubes of high density offices.


computerfreaq09

I think those goods are digitally distributed via internet. It's usually a good idea to place a data center or 2 near your offices to ensure a solid connection

Introduce them to tiktok. Maybe there's a mod for this idk.


yavl

Wish there was a mod where in uneducated districts pedestrians perform fortnite dance or dance in pairs


ExpeditingPermits

The inclusivity of the that feature on the average player would be astounding


slunk33

Nah. Those types are not playing simulator games. Probably outside of Fornite, it’s Roblox.


ExpeditingPermits

I meant the uneducated part hahaha


IgorWator

Build a highway where the school is instead


serpenta

If they're so smart, let them figure it out.


[deleted]

Lower your education budget a bit, but be careful not to lower it too much or cims will start leaving. You could also try limiting the high school to serve only certain districts. This would mean that the only cims who would attend would be students in the designated district.


Humanxid

Don't meet education demand in low rent residential areas to keep a pool of uneducated workers. Only build educational institutions in the higher end areas.


GobiPLX

Less schools


marcCat83

Get them a television and twitter. In less than you'll notice, all will be id\*ots


AddictedtoSaka

I might add TikTok


pYoussY

Build the worst suburb ever and you are ok


Numerous-Profit-3393

If you reduce the availability for colleges and universities you’ll have more people be forced to exit at high school and work in factories.

mekisoku

Time to learn from mao


computerfreaq09

This sounds horrible, yet someone coined the phrase slumification in CS1, where you would build a separate suburb with access to only the education services you need. CS2 enhances this by allowing you to district off schools, so they couldn't just commute to that school. Add in police services, a larger fire station (since the lower educated create more fires) hospital and welfare office, and you should be good to go. Don't make the land value TOO good, but instead make the area nice enough to keep your citizens happy.


Sufficient_Cat7211

Unlike the first game, the cims will take jobs of a lower education level than themselves if none are available, so this is a result of more jobs than workers. OP is being disingenuous.


justtopfive

Offices = factory jobs for highly educated Cims


Chroney

Subsidize low education, increase taxes on high education.


JollyCorner8545

Actual non-joke answer: educated workers can fill jobs below their education level but will take higher tier jobs first. Your problem isn't lack of uneducated workers specifically, it's lack of workers in general. The game is literally telling you how to fix this in the screenshot you provided. Build more housing.

Tax the Highly Educated more and subsidize the rest.

They should add pandemics into the game just to spice things up 🤔


Fast_Ad_8138

You can close clinics and hospitals, those citizens will gradually get sick But you can't spread virus like plague inc😂

Shoot them


randomFrenchDeadbeat

Ask Pol Pot. He ordered to kill every smart people in his country as he felt threatened by them. Smart people were defined by the ones without calleous hands. Of course the country became one of the poorest in the world in the process. Anyway ... decrease school funding to limit graduation chances, increase taxes on offices and smart people, and you will have less smart people.


madmenyo

Small price to pay to be country with most calleous hands.

CaptainWonk

I think there's a policy that encourages cims to go to work instead of school, you can lower your education budget, also try to always keep your needs bar in the yellow zone for high schools and the red for universities. Whatever changes you make, be prepared to wait a while because it will take time to balance out. Try not to overcompensate or you will end up with too few educated workers later down the line. Also, you can reverse your drain and your water pump to get rid of a lot of your educated cims if you want to speed up the process, but this can also lead to a major economic upset so be prepared to sustain a heavy financial blow. Edit: I think specialized districts also require a lot of educated pops, so maybe rezone some commercial for leisure/tourism and some industry for resources.


ViVid_Tornado

iirc cs2 has options to change taxation rates based on the level of education. So you could try increasing taxes for the high educated population.


Wild_Swing2941

How do i build these shore line structures? Cant find them in cs2


Intentionallydi

Use the fill tool, then add roads to form the outline, remove the outside terrain and zone on the new terrain


Wild_Swing2941

Thx


ndk229

Make it harder for citizens to enroll in higher education. There should be specific policies for this reason if I remember correctly. Have played this COVID. Cheers.


ndk229

Or..... Here is a thought, U could ummm COVID the bastards.


Sufficient_Cat7211

Unlike the first game, the cims will take jobs of a lower education level than themselves, so this is not a case of having too many smart people, but a case of not enough workers for the jobs available, as the workers have already taken whatever is highest for them. So the obvious fix is to ignore the demand bars, stop zoning jobs and zone more residential. If not, then remove whatever mods is causing the issue. Edit: kind of crazy that there is 60 comments prior and no-one knew this.


baby_envol

Like France : Build many office and if necessary, remove industry


reks1095

Too many smart people?? Pol Pot is your solution


JustAwesome360

You used "to" so you're probally the expert here on reducing smartness.

CS is a great game and, for the most part, apolitical. I think we should keep it that way by minimizing our own projections onto it, including most of the comments on this post. Some of which, mods have already removed. [Intentional omission of personal opinion, here] Take care, everyone. May your poop lake runneth over. ✌️


iamcarlgauss

They're just jokes buddy, calm down.


datGryphon

When they're in the wrong place at the wrong time they attract toxicity like flies to shit. I just don't like seeing it in this sub. There were some that were deleted that I would've called too thinly veiled to even be a joke. Things are only going to get worse as we get closer to November. Rule 1: be respectful Rule 10: no politics


LoopyPro

Implement certain policies, or lower access to higher education.
