Best combination for high traffic and pedestrians and pop in?

[matherto]

I've been fiddling about with MixSets, Project2dfx, the popcycle.dat, etc and I seem to be fixing one issue and creating 10 more each time.

 

Basically would like to have a busy game with lots of pedestrians and traffic but it seems at the minute I can get either of these but as soon as you start moving (walking/running/driving/riding) etc then all the pedestrians disappear.

 

Have been trying to work on reducing pop in of pedestrians and vehicles by playing with the on and off screen numbers but I feel like I'm going down blind alleyways.

 

Could anyone recommend settings that would provide a decently populated game and a reduction of pop in?
