Hi-Tech

[BrokeDiamond 2]

Sorry for making this thread since I'm sure other threads out there address this problem, but I couldn't find them.

I have a city of 100,000 Sims, with excellent health care, averageish crime, and above average education. No matter what I do, Hi Tech companies refuse to build in my city (I check by looking at the taxes; I-HT, with a tax rate of 7.0%, yields $0)

The desirability of my industrial areas are very high for I-HT, and the demand is high too. Half of my commercial and residential zones have been overtaken by high-wealth Sims.

Is it possible that I installed the I-HT Bug Fix wrong? Is there anything else that can solve this? Thanks.

Have you ensured your industrial zones are supplied of water?

you must treat HT-$$$ like you would with residential.minimum pollution, water, parks increase desireability. it helps if i increase ID-$ taxes to 20% (dirty industry will no longer build) also you need top notch education

Hi tech requires the same conditions as R/C $$$. Your education level must be very high. Check your education by population graph.

try planting trees on top of the zone

God mode trees. These seem to cause some kind of refresh or reset.

I've already got the I-HT Bug Fix, are there any other mods that might block I-HT?

The zones have water and the education is bright green for most of the city.

If you have demand and HT still doesn't grow, that means it lacks water in the 99% of cases. Also, if there's any I-D buildings around that zone, consider bulldozing it.

If it's still slow, add flowers
