About This File

Many users of my Industry Quadrupler have requested a similar mod for Commercial Services. I originally created this mod almost seven years ago , but apparently never uploaded it here at Simtropolis, so I'm correcting that oversight now.

This mod allows you to double the number of jobs in all commercial service buildings, and I've provided alternates that allow you to triple the jobs from the largest ones and quadruple the jobs in the malls. The service buildings in the game are a little closer to reality in jobs provided than the industrial buildings were, so I didn't see a need to quadruple them all. As always with my mods, see the included readme file for full details.

I have no plans to do a similar mod for commercial office; there is no need since the capacities of the office buildings are much more in line with reality.

This mod requires Rush Hour/Deluxe.

This will definitely help in satisfying the sky high CS$ and CS$$ demand most of us have. Thanks for the mod!!!

You're welcome. I'm just sorry I didn't realize until now that it had never been uploaded here. It's been available on Simphoni for years, but Simphoni doesn't get anywhere near the traffic ST does, so most people have probably never heard of it.

Cool but wont it stop stage 8 skyscrapers buildings to grow since the city will have less demand , need less office space zoning and will have less desirability for commercial buildings since a stage 5 buildings will accodomate 2000 jobs?

Good stuff. Now I don't have to create half another town to satisfy the commercial needs of one city.

This mod does not create more jobs. It fills the existing demand in less space, just like the Industry Quadrupler.

I especially like the idea that you quadruple jobs in Maxis malls. You are clearly very observant of the game. Thanks so much.

THANK YOU! ive always wondered why there are only 6 employees in a shopping mall. LOL This is a great cure to make simcity more realistic!

@suomi - This will have no effect on stage 8s. It doesn't change the stage limits, just the number of employees. You'll still start getting stage 8 service buildings at the same level you always did before. Besides, there aren't really any service skyscrapers; the tallest service building is a little over a third as tall as the tallest office building.

@iowndiscti - Not to my direct knowledge, though I suspect it's not compatible with the Colossus Addon Mod, since the Industry Quadrupler is not and this one is based on similar principles.

Not likely. I've changed a number of mods I was using, and I doubt my former region could take the changes. I've been building a new city in a different part of the same region (newly generated though) but have no plans to journal that one.

Awesome! I always hated the large number of cs buildings I had to have before - this is a sweet upgrade, thanks!

@ war master: This mod requires Deluxe or Rush Hour. Deluxe is the same thing as the original SimCity 4 with Rush Hour installed, so if you have Deluxe OR Rush Hour it will work.

@TheGreek - Then you haven't installed it correctly, because it does work; I've used it for over seven years and so have many other people. Have you followed the directions in the included Readme file?
