How can i make my residentials and commercial hirise!

My city pop. is 210,000 then theres no  hi rises.

[AsianEvolusioner 18]

be patient,

if your city has enough criteria (high education, health, lifespan, and population) and low polution, crimes, etc.

But it's better if you download some scyscapers from STEX, in order to better increase the chance you get that scyscraper..........

or maybe plop them????

[Skyfire2275 23]

Make sure your entire city is watered... Also 210 000 isn't very big. Don't expect much until you get past the 500 000 mark. And even then your whole region needs to be built up. One city in a region is not likely to grow lots of sky scrapers. Try making some suburbs to boost the region population closer to 1 million. Then you will see LOTS of skyscrapers.

P.S. Please don't post your title in all capital letters, it makes us think that you are yelling. Thanks.

Skyfire2275: None of my cities have 500.000 inhabitants! The highest nr. of inhabitants I have is 300.000 and I have loads of skyscrapers!

lianne777: You just have to sea that there is a beautifull area around it. My skyscrapers are build near the water and near parks.. They grow very fast then! Also never place them next to R$ stuff, 'cause then the contrast will be too big

Skyfire means regional population. That could be all in one city, or divided between a few, but regional population is what drives the stage caps.

lliane777: also, you have to zone high-density. Take care you have a good population though. It's true that, at as little as 40,000 sims you could get a skyscraper. But skyscrapers have thousands of residents/jobs - and suck up R and C demand fast. If you have 500,000+ people, that's good. If you only have 40,000, your demand could tank if too many skyscrapers pop up at the same time... then you can enjoy a lesson many others learned the hard way (including me): it is possible to satisfy demand too much, too fast. Morale: when you're ready, zone high-density... but slowly. One or two blocks at a time, let 'em develop and settle in for a month or two game-time, check your demand graphs, make sure you still have demand before you zone another block. (You can rezone existing areas to higher densities without affecting the existing buildings).

there are mods available on the STEX also that make the pop where u receive skyscrapers lower.

Can i just say, please do not post a thread called "HOW CAN I MAKE SKYSCRAPER", posting in caps is considered shouting and rude, and also there are many threads around already if you use the search.

Thankyou

(I mean this in a friendly manner by the way )

Save the game dezone a lot of lower density residential , then zone a lil high density while the demand bar is sky high , this way you be sure to get some taller building s , sounds like you got to much sprawl and not enough density .

I was getting loads of res highrises when my population was only about 150k. Main thing you need for low class highrise is demand since desirability for them is close to 100% no matter what. To get the med and high ones, boost desirability and create more jobs. Commercial skyscrapers, however, are dependent on commercial population, meaning that your 210k residents are worthles for getting them. For them, traffic helps a lot; the more traffic, the better.

You only need 30.000 inhabitants to get hirises.

Oftenly they will only appear if you have a nice traffic network in your city.

the lowest pop i have had a skyscraper was at around 60,000 residents and the regional op was only about 80,000

Go to the bat make a tall building, export it, open up plugin manager, go to models, drag the model to RCI R$$$, then go to lot editor and edit a R$$$ building, replace the building to your building then save, go to simcity and make a High Wealth residents the size of what your lot will be like for example 4x2 or 4x4 anything is good. Hope this helps!

Sincerely

Jimmy
