What is the tallest skyscraper (as of the rush hour expansion, with absoloutely no mods or downloads) that you can get??

The tallest I've ever gotten were Simon and Frank Associates, Khoury Art Foundation Building, and Barthelet Corporation.

I have excellent demand and desirability. The cities around it (As well as the core city itself) has around 600 thousand people, around 50,000 commercial jobs (i know, not that many) and the entire region has 1.7 million people.

I don't know what to do next to get tall buildings in my core city. Should I zone more land, or, if they really want to, will skyscrapers eventually "buy out" land and build over smaller structures because of demand.

I've got police stations out the wazoo (like kiosks every few blocks), so crime has pretty much been eliminated in downtown (0-3 crimes a month in downtown), plenty of fire stations (although i dont have the landing strip, should i build it?), 180 education level, high tech industry, solar power plants, a highway, elevated rail, buses, subways, plazas and parks covering the empty spaces in downtown, the art museum and the main library.

I have downloaded the NAM and am playing with simulator z ultra. I can't seem to get many customers (it always says low). is this due to the simulator? So commutes are pretty much taken care of.

The only problem I know I have is garbage: I have a garbage to electricity power plant thingie, but I reduced the funding to 0 so that it gets rid of the trash without polluting. Is this adequate for trash, or should I consider making a city that can export trash. I have minimal amounts of trash, but I would think the land value has to be ASTRONOMICAL for huge towers to move in.

Also, should i build an airport, or an opera house and stadium in the downtown area? Do those even help?

I had a medium-tile city that had 525k Res. and 235k Com., but it was destroyed somehow while I was transfering stuff to my new computer. So far, nothing's been that large because I don't like large city tiles and I've been building only moderatel-dense cities.

I've gotten Pedriana Pharmacuticals in the Chicago theme, and Hurt Enterprise HQ in the Houston theme. Haven't gotten other themes Stage 8 super structures. But I have another question. What CO$$$ are in the Euro theme in RH? Please Respond.

Miller45103 -ROLyoshi - How do you upload such nice pictures of your cities that are within Simtropolis' limits... try as I might... I've never been able to do it right... any help would be greatly appreciated

[jim 546 43]

Here's a view of the most successful region I've made.  I devoted many hours to this one but it was wiped a while ago.  Fortunately I'd uploaded photos before.

 

[Larks2242 251]

Cool map jim 546! sorry it got wiped

[emgmod 16]

Hahaha, largest city ever.

Here's mine, with a record 512 people.

[Larks2242 251]

sc4 overrates pops too.... this is correctable though, just by modding the lots to have a different capacity

great pictures everyone, these are some pretty large cities! lol

[citiesxlfan42 27]

My largest city is only about 500,000, mostly because then, I couldn't figure out region stuff. Anywho, It was a meduim tile, stuffed to the brim and on the outer edges had small homes to give it a (somewhat) realistic feel. It was called Lakewood. I may show pics later. 

[specializedguy 193]

cor2fst & Zokadin, those are some excellent works you have going there. cor2fst, nice realistic touch.

[Evillions 552]

This is a bit different, but I'll show the largest cities from my (past) collection of regions.

And this is considered one city, but broken up into several city tiles.  This was taken from my first CJ, and happened to be the most successful one I've had.

Total Population: About 5 million or more, I can't remember.

[Cobra_nVidia 30]

Oldie but it's my biggest, 1 million!

[paulmc 393]

nice cities, one day i will reach this level.. just learning for now..

[Larks2242 251]

Woah congrads on 1 million Cobra!

[SounderBruce 173]

Here's my biggest city yet, which is actually two cities made into one metropolis. Its Andrewstown! Population is around 25,000 and is expected to increase.

[emgmod 16]

25,000? With all those skyscrapers?

[gianthaiku 5]

Ive had at least a million....

but no pics of it sadly.
