OK, heres the problem. Iv'e been playing SC4 for acouple of years and iv never been able to get the(growable) really high skyscrapers. Iv'e done all I can but its not working. Here is the statistics to one of my cities. 

Water: Yes

Power: Yes

Zoned High Density: Yes

Road Connection: Yes

Highways and Mass Transit: Yes, busses, subway, rail. and monorail.

Commercial and Residential zoned near eachother: Yes

Commute: Medium

Good Police and Fire Covrage: Yes 

Good Education and Health: Yes

City Poulation: 57,000

Commercial Population: 130,000

Industrial Poulation: 20,000

Parks: yes

Landmarks: Yes 

I have all this but still really nothing above medium density. What else can I do? What Am i doing wrong? Help!

City Population: 57,000..

theres your problem. You need a lot more residents than that until even high rise residential buildings will appear.. but once you have hundreds of thousands of sims you will start to see skyscraper distrticts.

Ohh. Ok. I was just confuesd becasue in the SC4 instrution manual it  says you can get high-rise when your population hits 26,000. Huh, wierd. Anyway, Thanks dogma555. I cant wait till i get high rise!

The conditions have to be top to get Hi-Risers with 21K sims. Usually you will start getting them when you hit the 100K plus mark. I think that there is a mod to get them faster, have a look in the modsection.

Hello cmschulz13,

With Rush Hour (or SimCity 4 Deluxe) at around 9,571 you might get 1% of your low wealth growables in highrises;

But, without mods, the best case will be 20% of your higher wealth (only 5% of lower wealth) developments (i.e. growables) will be Highrises with a regional population of 125,267 and above.

Please see the CAM documentation/threads on the SC4devotion site for further details (and a colossal mod).

No detail is too small to be micromanaged.

Ok thanks guys. This will help.

Oh and BTW, any other help would be great.

Look at the demand bars. I think only skyscrapers will move into the city if the demand for Co$$$ is over the first line. Also, zone high-density commercial in high desirability areas.

Also, the stage limits are by developer type. If it says you need 125 267 to get 20% high rises then that is 125 267 R$ to get 20% R$ high rises, not R$+R$$+R$$$=125 267

I think the thetraeder in Bottrop woul be a great land mark for sc4.

It would be grade when somebody could build it. It is a nice challange; :-)

Here is a link of a picture of it:

Okay, here's some help:

When posting a new thread, don't use a completely useless subject line like, "Please Help!"

Instead, use a meaningful subject like, "Help getting skyscrapers".

This is all covered in the forum guidelines, which of course you read, right?

[nihonkaranws 88]

Well, if you just want skyscrapers and want to be lazy, click here to download a handy little tool that allows you to plop all the growable or non-growable buildings in SimCity 4. Or, if you still want skyscrapers the proper way, but want more demand, click here to get the Super Demand Ordinance, which increases demand in your city all over if you select it in the ordinances menu.

Hope this helps,

your friend nihonkaranws
