My people are dying and the city is deteriorating so fast because of the ambulances NOT going out and saving them.

What's the deal? I have 7 ambulances and I do not even see 1!!!

bump

Are you sure the ambulance garagages are being funded?

I have the same problem, clinic with 4 ambulances, all are gone. And when i place a new clinic there is no ambulance.
Happened in 2 cities now so i cant even play.

I built more clinics and they send out ambulances but my hospital is just sitting there draining my money

It is possible that there is too much traffic in your city that your ambulance could not come. It happen to me with police and firetrucks too. They could not come in-time because of traffic.

Apparently this is a known massive SHOWSTOPPER bug in the game. There are other threads addressing this. From what I gather, this happens when a hospital/clinic is rebuilt (perhaps thanks to too many disastrous disasters), and the game thinks that the previous ambulances are still out, even though they were destroyed, and so won't send out new ones... unless you have more in the new hospital/clinic than in the old one. Others reported that this also happens with other services like police and fire.

I was wondering why my city was sick and dying constantly. It seems I have to stop playing SimCity until this is worked out so that my city doesn't fall apart.

If you destroy a service building that has vehicles out on the road a bug willy instigate. The game will constantly think the vehicles are still on the road when they're not.

Yeah, cheesy red giant lizard destroyed my clinic. Rebuilt clinic, no ambulances. Also happens if you destroy a streetcar system to rearrange things then rebuild later. It thinks streetcars are still out there, so new ones are not deployed. Moral of the story, never move any service buildings in your city and pray a disaster doesn't take them out otherwise you can kiss that city goodbye. Yes, I've lost many a good city to these bugs.

What happens if you edit your hospital and bulldoze just the ambulance stations (not the hospital) and then rebuild them?

I know it's not ideal, but if it solves the issue at least you can keep playing

It doesn't solve it.

Happened to me as well. No fix unfortunately. Just to delete the region and start over again...

Since this is clearly a bug, and a big one in my opinion, it needs to be fixed asap. Cannot really continue in my city with this problem. And I don't want to start over again just to have it happen again. Also, any software patch should fix existing cities too... not just new ones (!?!).

Yeah, I had this happen to my streetcars.

Well I guess I know why my recycling plant stopped working after the lizard took it out....150k city down the drain...again
