Hi newbie here (Laura), well sorta a newbie, used to play Sim City 2000, and then stopped for a long time, wanted to update, but my computer was to slow to run 3000 and 4 when it came out. Now I have a computer that can run it, and a graphics card for good measure!.
Anyways, I've been reading lots of tutorials and video tutorials, and downloading lots of bats.
Finally after a weeks worth of endless hours of playing. I have created a city with a pop. over 200,000!
but I keep seeing 'no job' zots and as you can see unless it's a plobbable building I downloaded, I'm not getting any taller buildings! Taxes are cheap , 8% for all commercial, 9% for all res. and I have Dirty Idus. at 20% so I don't get any of those buidlings Manufacturing is at 15% (I prefer not to have those either) but Hi Tech is at 9%.
Plenty of education, parks and rec. I am making money to.
Commute seems to be a big problem. Any suggestions
