Ploppable Residential+Commercial

[tariely 4,496]

I've noticed a few times -- esp. in European W2W, and some NYBT stuff  that some residentials lots also have commercial properties, which apparently allows them to be ploppables (common in old cities : commercials are on street level and residentials above them). Could someone explain to me  how that is possible (and of course How To Do It ! )

To my knowledge, no one has ever released a building that successfully functions as a multi-use building (which is not to say that various people haven't released buildings that they hoped would function as multi-use buildings).  That's why we don't have any arcologies like we had in earlier versions of SimCity.

Can you give me an example?

My mistake ! After checking, I realized belatedly that due to the way I name folders when I stash them, those are labelled "Res & Com" -- but because the same building either grows as Res or plops as Com -- two separate files. Darn. It would have been so nice...

Sheepishly yours.

No Problems.

There are more than a few buildings from the early days here, where the authors intent was to provide a "starter" building to "kick start" one's new city.  In this vein, the author included jobs of every conceivable type and wealth level.  Of course they didn't work as intended.  I was curious as to whether you might have run across one of these.
