What is the tallest skyscraper (as of the rush hour expansion, with absoloutely no mods or downloads) that you can get?? The tallest I've ever gotten were Simon and Frank Associates, Khoury Art Foundation Building, and Barthelet Corporation. I have excellent demand and desirability. The cities around it (As well as the core city itself) has around 600 thousand people, around 50,000 commercial jobs (i know, not that many) and the entire region has 1.7 million people. I don't know what to do next to get tall buildings in my core city. Should I zone more land, or, if they really want to, will skyscrapers eventually "buy out" land and build over smaller structures because of demand. I've got police stations out the wazoo (like kiosks every few blocks), so crime has pretty much been eliminated in downtown (0-3 crimes a month in downtown), plenty of fire stations (although i dont have the landing strip, should i build it?), 180 education level, high tech industry, solar power plants, a highway, elevated rail, buses, subways, plazas and parks covering the empty spaces in downtown, the art museum and the main library. I have downloaded the NAM and am playing with simulator z ultra. I can't seem to get many customers (it always says low). is this due to the simulator? So commutes are pretty much taken care of. The only problem I know I have is garbage: I have a garbage to electricity power plant thingie, but I reduced the funding to 0 so that it gets rid of the trash without polluting. Is this adequate for trash, or should I consider making a city that can export trash. I have minimal amounts of trash, but I would think the land value has to be ASTRONOMICAL for huge towers to move in. Also, should i build an airport, or an opera house and stadium in the downtown area? Do those even help?

Is there a mod that sophisticates the Education demographic map and separates the "rings" into Library, Elementary School, High School, etc. I am finding it hard to serve my nice residential districts the educational amenities they desire because I cannot tell within ALL the different rings which region has a library and which doesn't.

Is there a mod that sophisticates the Education demographic map, and divides it up into Elementary School, Library, High School, etc.? I am finding it difficult to make resdiential districts because the range rings are intersecting, and it is almost impossible to tell if a certain region has a library within its range. It would be cool if you could just click the Library circle and the map would only show the ranges of all the libraries, so I would exactly know what educational amenities the district has.
