Hello again!

@v701,thank you! There will come a lot of pictures today, and the next update is nearly finished. :yes:

At the moment I spend all free time for this game, pure addiction, and although the town is mismanaged and alive only by the endless money cheat, I did a lot in the last days. One reason for my problem was indeed the education level, it was much too high. II changed a lot of policies in different quarters, and it helped. I was able to shrink the general unemployment from 30% to 15%. This step was opened by a mod, that I found on steam, that gives you detailed informations about the employment of your citizens. And while 100% of the uneducated and educated worked anywhere, there were no jobs for better educated people. Sadly there also was no demand for offices, and so I plopped a lot of them townwide. This worked like expected, and after a while the demand for offices also raised.

This gave me the ability to grow more office buildings, really nice ones but mostly scaled too small. If there weren´t RICO...

Another phenomenon was, that I have buildings in high levels, that won´t grow. There is a wonderful 3x3 made by Feindbild, and some 4x4 Lvl 4 and 5 buldings, that needed a "breeding" station. I made a small quarter, where I grow all this stuff. Luckily with the Themes Mod it is possible to grow them in very little time. So I was able to plant them at the locations I want to see them. And I am so happy about this, that I thought I should make a special with not grown buildings.

In general there is a discussion, if buildings should grow or be plopped. I use both methods, and plopping isn´t easier - see my big financial desaster. Meanwhile I plop buildings a lot, not only RICO but with the eyedropper tool as well. I love to have the ability to plan some corners like around the opera. For example the biggest residential highrise did grow at the most wrong place, and now it is erected at the main street, where it looks much better (although still very oversized). Seen from pedestrian perspective the building matches perfectly in the row but from above it needs getting used to the view.

Enough talk, you want to see pictures. And although the today´s update is merely a hommage to some creators here, first comes an oversight of the town, it is not really up to date but it does the job:

I will start with one of the buildings, that did grow at the wrong place. This residential tower needed a single place, not in a row. I searched a lot for the best spot, and I here I found it:

The next is the 3x3 residential mentioned above. A simply wonderful building in a very appreciated size:

And the highest residential (the brown one in the middle):

Here is a nice new corner building, W2W on the left side, and the other one is open. To fill the gap to the next rowhouses I used the "most ugly" building I have, a small four story building. You can see it very often in my pictures, and I only a miss a mirrored version:

And another one:

Two new modern corners I like:

Here is another one, that needed a matching neighbor, cause it likes to stay alone:

The Manhasset (meanwhile also grown in the small version):

The whole situation:

And a hard to grow one at the next crossing:

Some higher level residentials:

A nice new tower:

Not finished - an industrial complex and an gardening center in the back:

This modern building did grow, the Hard Rock Cafe on the right is a RICOfied one:

Some higher level commercials at - commerce street. They did grow near the airport, and I planted them here again:

Parking Space under the freeway:

And a very useful rubbish collector, that looks like a underground garage:

A not rectangular corner:

The neighboring buildings are semi detached and needed some space, here I could place them as twins:

Now two examples for really nice growing. The first one shows a underscaled building to the left, but here, in a row with the modern office it looks perfect:
