You really need to describe your problem in a lot more detail so we can help you. The game is fairly easy to play, so you should just keep playing until you get where you want.

First of all, play more. Some dynamics might be easier for some while others like me take 5 years to turn this game inside out.

Also, there are alot of wonderfull mods and lots for download. You really should take a look. You don't need to download them, but I like to have some extra options and eye candy.

Ok Well In Most Of My Cities Commute Time Is High - And Iv Never Had A Commercial Skyscraper even though the commercial jobs was 55,069, Also I Tried A Super demand Modd To Help Me But It Diddnt Work

You got to just figure it out by playing and failing repeatedly. I once had a skyscraperville called Iron Point (before I had to reformat) with 1267554 residents, no dilapidation, and a commute time lower than 15 minutes. Al this was on about half of a large city tile. Overall, Mod Mod Mod.

Hello lil-m,

If you can get the pieces to work in 16 small cities, or 4 medium cities - then you should be able to put said pieces together in one large city tile. Although you may need additional demand cap relief - to make up for that provided by neighbor connections between the smaller cities.

If you haven't already - You could register over at SC4Devotion (Note - their LEX requires independant registration) - and read up on their Collosal Addon Mod (CAM); the documention on the CAM explains the Stage Limits that control how many skyscrapers you can get and when you can get them. The CAM itself makes it easier to get higher densitiy buildings, too.

Whatever else - enjoy the game,

No detail is too small to be micromanaged.

Thanks I Will Try That

I would suggest the CAM if you want lots of skyscrapers. Or you could try downloading some ploppable job buildings, like from NDEX (I think).

Hi lil-m

Some tips:

1.Download the super demand mod and NAM trafic simulator

Super demand:up your demand in 500%.More skycrapers will go apper in your city.

Traffic simulator:10x capacity and 10x velocity = low commute time

Good luck!
