Pudgy

this makes a lot of sense anyone who has ever lived in the stage 8 city would understand your perspective on the simulation.

I noticed the I-HT bug in my game. Thanks to various i read on this site, I did recognize High wealth sims not getting hi tech jobs within my main cities. That being said the stats show that they are getting jobs in my other support cities. I am not saying its not a bug because people more savy than I say it is. I will say whatever is going on is actually working in my favor. There are no unemployment problems in any of my cities. Which means local economy right now is offsetting the bug. I conclude right now that i will leave my current version of the game alone and i will not install anymore patches.

That last response to this subject sounds like a good idea for a new thread

Yes and no. If you look closely, he already has a lot of landmarks in the city. Landmarks (and plazas) increase desirablity for commercial buildings, and that's good. However, in this particular case the underlying problem is not so much lack of desirablity, but too many possibilities for the game to spread demand over hundreds of lots instead of focusing on a few. I have had more stage 8 buildings in much smaller towns (and much less populated regions) without any actual landmark, just a few small plazas - not because I'm better or smarter or have better karma, simply because I used that "channeling" technique from the get-go. If you get the structure right, have suitable demand and plenty of traffic, you often don't need to spam landmarks everywhere to get some CO towers. I agree. I saw a YOU TUBE video about that strategy about that. It seems to work well. This is motivation enough to start a new city in my region and test the stategy.

what is an infinite loop?

Would landmarks have a positive influence on the situation?
