  (There is @Propfam's Cap Lifter as a separate mod. I can only speak for the Ag one and it works exactly as advertised. (See my review on their mod.) While the others would fall into the cheat category (and that's fine for city painters), the Ag one is really a bug fix.)

  I don't think this is a modding request. However, to answer your question I think that the problem lies in the use of the SuperDemand mod (which one are you using?). That is a cheat that, in my view, breaks the game's playability and the balanced growth that otherwise would occur. It will max out the demand for all job types. However, in practice I do not find that (despite the demand bars being maxxed out) it does not max out residential growth. Residential growth won't occur if there isn't any demand, or if there is a Demand Cap being applied despite the SuperDemand Mod (not sure what the specific mod is but I wonder if it eliminates all Demand Caps?) but more importantly, demand is created through the census drives from natural job growth. The census drives occur due to a combination of factors. It seems like the SuperDemand mod artificially is showing you high demand but you might still be experiencing a Demand Cap, or otherwise despite the demand being high on the graph growth is not occurring due to lack of other services. I'd toss out the SuperDemand mod from your plugins folder and apply some needed fixes to make the game play right: Less Abandonment Mod, I-R fix, I-HT fix, and some other fixes depending on your gameplay (like the No-Kickout mod). If you're playing using CAM Core then most of those fixes should already exist. If not, they can be downloaded here and applied. Those are not cheats, they're fixes to make the game work as intended. Then, let your game run and natural demand will stabilize. Make sure you have educational buildings if you want high-tech industry or dense offices, and enough other civic services to encourage natural growth (no crime, high healthcare, etc). Also, make sure that you plop enough civic reward buildings or parks to lower the Demand Caps. If these terms are new to you then please read up on these concepts in the Census Repository Facility documentation and its tooltips. If the Demand Caps are low, civic services are good, and jobs are naturally occurring, residential growth will occur. EDIT: I notice you say you're growifying residential buildings. Are you sure that you're using the Growify Mod properly and that they do not become abandoned after a bit of time due to misuse of the mod? You should growify them right after stopping the game clock, and plopping them. If manually growifying them using the cheat, you have to type in "Growify R M" for growifying a residential lot as a medium zone lot, or "Growify R H" to growify it as high-density residential. A growified lot is othwerwise still subject to abandonment and dilapidation like other naturally grown lots.
