Hey There Well I'm running a region right now an its standing at about 460,000. I was wondering what is going to happen we I approach 500,000? Also I don't know if the game is messed up or if it's me but recently, my regional demand has the R$$ and R$$$ in the negative while the R$ is flourishing wherever I lay any residential zones. Could it be because of the fact that up until this point most of my regional population has been R$$ and R$$$ and that just now the R$ demand is just starting to catch up? Also, the CS demand whether it be high, med, or low is mostly negative while the CO$$ demand is high but the CO$$$ demand is relatively low to nothing at all. Whats up? And just one more question (I've played the game since it came out but I really haven't gone hardcore, so bare with me) Do farms have any effect whatsoever on the other demands whether or not they are there? Do I even need farms? Thank You!

See I thought that once your region population hits 500,000 you unlock a certain building stage where you get huge corporation skyscrapers. Also can someone explain to me the building stages. I know that as your city/region grows in population, the office buildings get taller, at least thats how I understand it. And one last one just for giggles. At any point during the game do you reach a population point where something dramatic happens? Like let's say you reach 1 million sims in a city, do you get a parade or a certain secret reward or does god send it's wrath of fury by sending some sort of apoctolyptic disaster? Thanks Again! -and Thank You to those who already replied!
