They can't be made to commute. That's the problem with ploppables. They will "survive" in very specific situations, but residents can't leave them. This is controlled by game files. This is correct. Personally if I want a certain building to grow, I zone the specific size and make sure all other building styles but its own are disabled. Then I patiently grow and destroy until I get what I want; sometimes I do this for multiple blocks at a time. I do this in cheetah mode, but be warned, it'll make your city hundreds of years old. I started doing this too, but then there were buildings that didn't appear no matter what! =( I reached 2900 game years and I still can't get some of the buildings, specially the commercial ones. My demand is naturally sky high, desirability data is perfect, and i've checked all the caps. But no luck

Would you make a video tutorial showing exactly how do you do it?

I've put together a building list of the maxis buildings that includes all of the lot sizes officially available for each one of the buildings. I thought it might be of use.

Lloyd Cousins thanks a lot for uploading the file but I don't know why it can't be visualized correctly. Here is a new link that solves this: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B6a9VBMkrBndMThhNTM0Y2ItNzFiMy00YTJlLTg0NzgtYWQ2MTUxZTYwMTQ0&hl=en_US

Do you know how to make them commute? (the plopped residentials)
