I think the problem was I was building them or plopping them at night, and so the lights wouldn't show up unless I turned it back to day, and then back to night. It seemed too that the landmark version was the only one lighting up, rather than the ploppable or growable, but again, this was found to be false. Thanks again~

Never mind. It's working now. I don't know what I was doing wrong >< Thanks for the help, though!

Eh, I waited for about a year or so. Still no dice.

Yeah, the version's up to date. But still nothing. If it helps, I'm mainly referring to stuff made by nycc06, like the Amethyst Hotel Tower, or any of the other "newer" ones he's put up. Just... No lights at all. It's strange.

It didn't do anything, unfortunately, as far as the lights go.

So, I'm having issues with buildings I've downloaded not lighting up at night. I've downloaded several skyscrapers and none of them light up, but some utility buildings I've downloaded do. Is there something I'm missing, or is it just a compatibility issue with my computer, or what? It's kind of annoying, and I'd like to get it figured out, since half the reason I got some of them is for the lighting scheme.

Okay, so, I know I already asked this, but I'd still like to know... Especially since one of the Euro skyscrapers, Hurt Enterprise HQ or whatever, always shows up, but the other Euro one and the two Houston ones never do... Same with the 'best' of the residential buildings in all but the NY set. I only had 2 "Twin Peak Towers" buildings pop up on their own. Tips, tricks to be able to get these to grow on their own? "These" being: van Prooijen Trading ...The other Houston one Ong Condos Twin Peak Towers Walkup Tower and the like.

Got another question. How do you stimulate growth of buildings like the van Proiijen Trading building or the huge, high capacity residential buildings? I have tons of stage 8 buildings everywhere in my city, but not these specific ones. Heck, I even have the space zoned out. So... Tips?

A word of warning, though. If you use the mods I mentioned as a lifesaver, do NOT use the desirability override thing, because it actually ends up tanking all desirability, so yeah. I found that out the hard way and had to start my city over, but it's going well. Thanks again for all the tips and whatnot! ^-^

So far, I haven't been able to do much with SC4Tool other than view capacities of buildings. And no, I don't think I can see how many R$$ or R$ jobs haven't been filled. Will filling these jobs keep the high wealth offices in demand? Also, could I get a link to the thing you mentioned? I'd be interested in editing the properties of the buildings and whatnot. EDIT: I found this set of mods that someone mentioned in the 'top 10 mods' thread. I'm going to try it, and I'll post back to comment on how well it works. If it doesn't work, I'll ask for more help. Otherwise, things will be better. Here's a link to it, if you're curious as to what it is~ Potential Lifesaver? EDIT (Again): Turned out to be a TOTAL lifesaver. I can still work with what I want, but without all the issues. Thanks for the help, all!

Alright, makes sense. Just out of curiosity, first of all, is there any update for the SC4Tool which can allow us to modify capacities and whatnot? I doubt it, but one can hope. Second, how do I keep high wealth office buildings to stay in demand? I have almost 900,000 high wealth commercial office jobs, so the demand will not go up in the region... Well, ever again, I fear.

Could you possibly explain how this would screw things up, and how I would not understand it? 'Cause I'm not as stupid as some think I am.

No offense to anyone, but I do not want to use any BAT buildings this time around.
