<p>I have a region with around 150.000 inhabits and big demand for all classes but i can't even get the medium dense building. When i zone medium there's just family homes there too. Shouldn't they come around 20.000? The "biggest" buildings i've got is those two stories apartments. What can be wrong? I had that demand cap mod installed but removed that now and tried but i didn't get them anyway.</p>

Do you have water? This is required for medium/high zones. Another thing could be your zone size, is it too small for larger buildings?

[KeanoManu 42]

Yes, water, power, schools, hospitals and all that stuff.

2x2 and 3x3 zones is what i have tried with. I want them to build without those parking lots that sometimes comes with them. I think it is 2x2 for them so mostly is that.

Of course you need power for any growth but you do not need schools, hospitals, fire or police. Do you have too many low density zones that your city does not need to put in medium ones? Did you zone over low density zones already built or make new zones for the higher density? When I use this method, I usually get higher density buildings right away.

i don't have any low at all in the cities i try to build medium but i have undeveloped low dense zones in other city tiles. But in those cities there's no demand for it for some reason. Everywhere else the demand is high but in those cities i want them and where there already is thousands of sims there's no demand at all.

Check your Jobs and Population display.  You need about 3 Sims per job.  You may not have enough jobs.

hm.. demand is high and i have a two medium sized cities full with industry jobs + that i have the quadrapler(?) mod installed.

I'm on my way to loose the motivation to play now. There's always at least one big irritating bug in this game.

I'll give you some stats from the region so you can see if i must develop more of something. The problem is for all classes too.

Residents: 184.571

Commercial: 46.263

Industry: 305.396

Total Jobs: 351.659

That's make a different of 167.088. So i should easily be able to fill medium sized apartments. There's low taxes in those cities too. The only thing i can think of is that i have used SuperDemand mod to get all the industries but it shouldn't make any different.

In a word, get rid of the Super Demand Mod.  You can see how your game has been skewed.

It sounds like you're getting so frustrated w/ some of the game's idiosyncracies that you're ready to uninstall it so I'll recommend something that would be considered a "cheat" if you can indeed "cheat" in a single player/builder/god game like SC4: download and plop a pollution condenser in your cities.  With all that industry, I'll bet you've got pollution out the ying-yang.  The pollution condenser (magically) eliminates pollution and makes your residential demand skyrocket.  Yes, it's a "cheat" but it sounds like you're desperate to get some pop growth and that will probably do it.

Good luck.
