How do I reassign medium-density lots to only build under high-density zoning?

[TwelveFloorsUp 1]

Hi. Would someone please tell me how to do this? I'd like to reserve my medium-density settings for rowhouses and very small apartments, which means I need to move a lot of the lots in the game (and addons downloaded here) over to high density.

Hopefully this is easy, and I'm just a dunce for not knowing the process.

Thanks.

A long time ago (2004, maybe?) someone posted a short tutorial on building townhouses.

The gist of it was, you need to alternate medium and high density zones. As in having one 3-tile of medium density, one 3 tile of high density, one 3-tile of medium density, one 3 tile of high density, etc. for the length of the street where you want the townhouses.

They can never turn into skyscrapers because there is medium density in there.

I haven't tried it lately but, from what I remember from back then, it worked.

Not exactly the question you asked but that's what I remembered when I read your question.

That's exactly how it works:

You zone like this:

121212121212121212 > 1 = Med zoned 2 = high zoned 1x3 res zones

121212121212121212 >

121212121212121212 >

----------------------------

---------------------------- > Street

same goes for Commercials, this way they will never build skyrisers. You can also zone 1x2 lots like this to bring up different lots and rowhouses.

You want to change the propterty "LotConfigPropertyZoneTypes" in the Lot exemplars. A low density Res would have this set to 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, meaning that it grows on Low-Density Res (0x01), Mid-Density Res (0x02), and High Density Res (0x03). A mid-density res would have it set to 0x02, 0x03, so if you want it to grow on high density only, set the value to 0x03.

Com and Ind have their own values, 0x4-0x6 and 0x7-0x9 respectively
