Wider before Taller Method and City max population

[striker16 0]

Good day to pros.

I just follow the methode WIDER before Taller, the problem is they stop developing in some point.

all services are provided.

schools, fire, police, medic. water, power. etc...

I got stuck on 24k population I already rezone them to medium and high zone.

2nd,

mas is the maxed population possible in city? nor region. As I saw in most of the pictures they have

1-2m population total, But I can see there population in city.

so what is the maxed population per city wihtout a cheat. I'm using NAM only and nothing els.

3rd.

I notice they there city only have resident and commercial or something.

I build Resident+commercial+Industrial on my city so this is the cause of problem?

Should I build resident only in 1 city then go to other city and make industrial or commercial then connect them?

thanks alot, sorry for my bad English.

thanks. I really have a lot of question.

1. You have likely hit a demand cap, at this point you need to push the economy in one direction or the other. The best way to do this is to provide more jobs for the city. You can do this by zoning more Industrial and Commercial in another city next door, then provide appropriate methods of crossing the border.

2. I assume you mean what is the maximum amount of sims you can have in a city. The truth is that i don't think that there is a limit! However space and desirability limits it.

3. It is a good idea to have a "Job" city (like i said in 1) however it is hard to have a commercial city, the distances the sims have to travel have an effect. I would say, have a mixture of C and R in one city (maybe a small amount of I-HT) with the I-D and T-M in a city next door.

If you have any more questions regarding this of even something else, post it here or PM me!

I find that building either Maxis stadium helps spark new development after the 25,000 line that you mentioned is crossed. Also, an airport helps with commercial demand which often helps residential demand in turn. Building parks (specifically playgrounds) is sometimes helpful as well.

ok wider before taller methods failed. my first city is I guess success although its taller before wider I don't lose any money on it unlike in wider before taller I lose a lot of money. On my first city I got 2x R$$ taller buildings around 2k+ R$$ for 1 building, I got a very high demand on R$ and R$$ full demands, I don't have space so why there not upgrading there buildings desirability is really high for almost all R,C,I $-$$$. but they did not upgrading to much, my population in my first city was 53-56k stuck, Demands is high. anu solution? so I really need to start new city to provide R$ and R$$ ? why not they just upgrade there buildings?

thanks again

Before any more sims can move in they need to have a place to work. Try zoning C or I.

Good Luck!
