I have spent hours searching for answers, yet I cannot get ANY high wealth R, Cs, Co, or I-HT. Health, environment, education, safety, traffic, crime, 0% tax rate, high land value, large airport, passenger rail, swimming pools, sports fields, parks and plazas, park aura, landmark aura, clean water and air, town hall, city hall, mayor's house, farmer's market, university, radio station, neighbor connections, desirability, yada yada yada. All perfect. Ran sim at rhino speed for at least 4 years. ZERO high wealth. Demand won't even change. Makes no sense. And this is a pivotal moment--I feel I have to get this last piece in place or I'm flirting with joblessness if I expand without high wealth. It's been a struggle just to get to 55k--zone, delete, re-zone, delete, rinse and repeat, ad infinitum--which is fine, but why this? Had no problem getting high wealth earlier, but changed my mind, and wanted to further develop other parts of city. Now I return to get high wealth, and the game just says no? What could I possibly be missing now?

How to stop everything turning into high wealth?
DazzaDazza posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Hi People I'm trying to stop everything developing into high wealth, no matter what i do i seem to start on some low wealth, then a hour later all the suburbs are high wealth when they have no right to be. Case one, i have a small city with a lot of farms, but the small town is always going to high wealth, the Com is the worst, the low wealth doesn't even try to develop, when played this game 6 years ago i seem to have it perfect, i seem to be able to control the wealth of lots, most suburbs where medium wealth, and I could control the high wealth with parks and what not, but who knows what plugin i have back then. Any tips? I am blocking the Maxis Lots, but i am pretty sure i have enough Lots to cover it. -
So, I've made it a goal for myself and my region to develop the biggest of the big vanilla skyscrapers, doing so as naturally as possible. I'm talking Hogan Wallace and White Insurance, Lind Entertainment, Hurt Enterprise Headquarters, Cahalane Communications, Walkup Tower, Byall Tower, etc. I want the big mommas and daddies. I have nearly two million sims across perhaps two dozen cities. So far I'm only using NAM and the Industry Doubler mods, and I only have NAM for the improved traffic simulation, I just use vanilla intersections, highways, transit and roads. I haven't had any problems developing my cities up to the point that they're at now, I feel like I have a solid understanding of the game, at least enough that I developed this region in perhaps 10-20 hours of gameplay. So here's my problem. The downtown area is not attracting CO$$$ or R$$$. My hope was to make the downtown area the place of residence for the cream of the crop, as well as the location of the tallest skyscrapers. The problem is, it's just not attracting very much in the way of the residents and offices I was hoping to get. R$$ and R$$$ demand is consistently in the negative, as is CO$$$. The residential region is mostly huge tenement slums, and what R$$$ that does develop usually degenerates to R$$ or R$ pretty quickly. The high-wealth offices that have developed also usually degenerate within a moment of cropping up, usually decreasing to CO$$ and sometimes just abandoning outright, due to low demand. I'm really not sure what's going on. There's plenty of plazas in the commercial region, I have public transit (buses and subways) which are well used, I have a commuter airport, convention center and stock exchange. I also have several 4X4 lots zoned specifically with these office buildings and apartment towers in mind. Similarly, the residential region is well stocked. There are plenty of parks. I have a really good education system, with plenty of libraries (including a main library), several museums, more than enough room in the high and elementary schools, as well as a university and a city college, both of which are more than sufficiently funded. Same goes for the health system, there's plenty of hospitals which are sufficiently funded. I have plenty of police and fire coverage. Despite all this, demand for R$$ and R$$$ remains finicky and highly variable and is usually negative. Demand for R$ remains absurdly high, which of course drives the development of the tenements which in turn drives a spike in demand for dirty and manufacturing industries, for which I do not have room in any of the surrounding regions (and do not want to dedicate any more space to than I have to.) All this is immensely frustrating. I really don't know what else I can do to attract the high wealth sims and offices that I am desiring for this downtown region. Really all that I could think of was reducing the pollution from vehicles, which does impact desirability, although I'm not sure it does it enough to justify the consistently negative demand I'm seeing. Any of yall have any tips? Know what I'm missing? Would love your help.

Questions about residential lot development
JeffSalisbury posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
I have some questions about residential lot development. I likely have quite a bit to learn about how to better control what wealth level develops and how to prevent abandonment. 1. Do high wealth (R$$$) buildings only house high wealth sims, or is the pop of a building a mixture of wealth levels like job (C and I) buildings? 2. If, due to good health and education coverage, parks, rewards, and other factors, your R zones have high desirable for all R wealth levels, is there a way to prevent too many R$$$ buildings from developing? My city has massive demand for, and jobs available to, R$ and R$$, but R$$$ medium density towers keep developing then quickly degrading into R$$ or R$ occupancy, which looks ugly. 3. If a certain area of R zoning is only desirable to R$, and the R$ demand is crazy high, is there a reason why R$ towers from at least medium density zoning wouldn't develop in that area if it's the only place desirable to R$? Thanks in advance to any who can help or point me to some good resources for this.- 8 Replies

Some new CS$$$ Shopping Centers for all the bored stay-at-home moms (and dads) out there representing the hippest new fashion and fast-casual brands out there. Many of these are regionally themed so if you want to use one for an Australian shopping center or a Canadian one, there are plazas for that. Each come with a 6x4 $$$ Stage 1 growable and a 6x5 plop. Optimally, these are perfect as outparcels for a larger shopping center, and they all are the same 3d model with slight cosmetic differences to make them just unique enough.

890 Park Avenue New York, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- One of Manhattan's great survivors, 890 Park Avenue is a house located in the Lennox Hill neighbourhood. In the Queen Anne style, this house was built as part of a row the 1880s and initially encompassed numbers 882-890. Including the basement, the house has five stories. The current exterior is largely unchanged since renovations in the 1900s when the first floor parlour was given over to offices. It is currently being restored to a single family, 6000 sqft home with an estimated value of $15M. In SC4 it is offered as an R$$$ row home on the NY & Chicago tilesets.It is slope tolerant.I have also modelled the basement garden area. Like all of my work, these are suited to both CAM and non CAM cities alike.

Modern Villa 4, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- Made after a request in the 'Bat Request Thread', this is a purely fictional design for the fifth in a series of Modern Villas. Apart from the few Hollywood-hills style R$$$ homes that come with the base game, and a smattering of custom content (if you want top quality, search on girafe's user name), it is an area that has largely been ignored. Typically the modern villa is something of a compound: numerous projections create enclosed, intimate spaces. High masonry walls and hedges protect pools and indoor/outdoor areas from prying eyes. The materials palette is usually understated - monochromatic white/dark grey plaster, zinc, wood, marble and stone. This particular design features a U shaped building that encloses the pool (this becomes the main feature of the interior spaces). There are multiple outdoor entertaining areas, and a sedum-planted roof. Hedges of tall cypress trees cocoon the lots from neighbour boundaries and planting in rows create uniformity of street-scape. These sorts of houses are something of an international style: they can be found in coastal/city/mountain locations across the globe. They grow on the modern Houston and Euro tilesets only and are modded so as not to become too weedy. Like all of my work, these are suited to both CAM and non CAM cities alike. A building-family ploppable, MMP version will be available shortly which will contain all of the series of villas. --------------------------------------- STATS R$$$: Lot size : 3x3 and 4x3 Growth Stage: 3 (Low, Medium & High Density Zoning) Bulldoze Cost: $ 192 Capacity Satisfied: R$ 106 R$$ 60 R$$$ 28 Pollution: 1 (Air)/ 1 (Water)/ 4 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 5/6/0 Power Consumed: 4 Mwh Water Consumed: 8 Gal/Month Building Style: Houston and Euro Occupant Group: High Wealth Residential Building --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: This download contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users and one for the standard Maxis nite.

Mon Repos, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- In the 19th century, the mark of the self-made classes eager to assert their place in society was the grandeur of their home. As the home was an outward expression of the aspirations of its owners: it was therefore important to be à la mode. And in the late 19th Century, the Italianate Villa was all the rage. Home pattern-books were shipped around the globe and would-be-owners could select their house of choice and commission local builders to complete the design. Architects of the day drew inspiration from well known houses and copied different elements at will. This particular design borrows heavily from the famous 1828 villa in Corfu of the same name. This grand home is restrained and symmetrical: striking circular wings protrude from each side; dual oeil-de-boeuf windows grace a covered terrace supported with columns in the Doric order. The only departure from the original design is the central tower which was more popular with Italianate houses of the late 1800s. This BAT is offered as a Mayor's house on a stunning, classically landscaped 8x8 lot complete with Mediterranean inspired plantings, such as Bosco verde, roses and columnar cypresses. It is found in the reward menu. Placing this reward will boost surrounding desirability for business and residential, raise demand caps, provide jobs, and provide both landmark and park effects. It needs road, power and water. There are no restriction as to how often these lots can be placed and this reward will not over-write, or interfere with, any other mayor house rewards (including the in-game version). --------------------------------------- STATS: Lot size: 8x8 Plop Cost: $9,900 Bulldoze Cost: $1,800 Monthly Cost: $50 Wealth: High Park Effect: 180 over 70 tiles Landmark Effect: 130 over 54 tiles Mayor Rating: 20 over 220 tiles Pollution at Centre: 1 (air) /1 (water) /6 (garbage) Pollution Radius: 2/3/0 Demand Created: R$ 3, R$$ 25, R$$$ 3 Power Consumed: 25 Mwh Water Consumed: 60 Gallons Occupant Groups: Reward; Mayors House --------------------------------------- DEPENDENCIES: To ensure proper functionality, make sure the following files are in your plugins folder: *BSC MEGA Props - CP Vol01.dat (https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1180) *BSC Mega Props - CP Vol02.dat (https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2790) *BSC MEGA Props - SG Vol01.dat (https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=746) *BSC Texture Pack - Cycledogg V01.dat (https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=101) --------------------------------------- To install, simply unzip the file into your plugins folder.- 8 Reviews

Filling in more gaps of Parisian growables as there is a lack of hotel particuliers when it comes to custom content posted on the forum. Inspired by those found in the 7th arrondissement and Le Marais. One model is mirrored as well. Please feel free to re-lot these models and input your favorite props as the courtyards are open due to custom LOD-ing. These are growable, however you may use the PIM to make them ploppable as you may not want these unique structures popping up all over your city. To mitigate this, I did make the high wealth growth stage somewhat lower so they may be replaced by more 'generic' structures. *Most of the backsides are modeled too should you wish to plops gardens behind them, much like real-life hotel particuliers. - Hight wealth residential (stage 5 & 6) - Euro Tileset - Low, Medium & High Density zones - Nightlighted, either MaxisNite or DarkNite* - No dependencies *DarkNite version requires SimFox's DayNNite Mod *These have been tested, however please let me know if you find any issues- 6 Reviews

This time you get some luxury apartments of the late 1930s. Built in 1937 in a young quarter not far from the ciy centre, they represent some of the best of the era. The architect's name is Eugene Rosenberg. They have electric heating, elevator, wooden shades to protect the rooms from sunlight and expensive materials used in the interior. Enjoy and let me know if you would like to live in such apartments. Standa TECH STUFF Unpack the files into your Plugins folder IMPORTANT NOTE: Check the SimPrague_readme.txt to learn more about the project! IMPORTANT NOTE: SimPrague project uses a consistent 133% scale! Sorry if it doesn't fit your city. NOTE: Sidewalk in preview is not yet available online, you will see your own sidewalk texture. There are two models with slight variations in texture shades and with unique nightlighting. I've used them to create two 3x3 and two 3x4 high-wealth residential lots, which will grow in high-density zones and in Euro tileset. You can also plop them as college called Antoninska School of Design, it occupies a 3x4 lot. The stats are as usual. There is also a 3x3 ploppable lot, which can be found in the Landmark menu and functions as CO$$$ with 180 jobs. Each of the two ploppables uses one of the two variants, so you can see them both prior to letting them grow. There is only one night version, but I've tested it and it looks fine with and without SimFox Day'n'Nite Mod. DEPENDENCIES NOTE for beginners: Dependencies are props and other files that are useful and generally accessible online, so you don't want to include them again in any new upload. It can be annoying the first few times you spend half an hour downloading them, but as they are so widely used by all other BATters as well, you will soon find yourself having most of them or being able to skip some. I've included one prop called GR_GarageBlock.dat, created by GaryReggae and often used by T Wrecks. The reason is I couldn't locate the file online anymore. Search your Plugins folder and if you have it already, delete the folder "Prop_delete_if_redundant".

Daiwa House, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- This detailed skyscraper first appeared as an unfinished project in the 'Ones That Never Made It To The STEX' thread. Daiwa House is a smaller skyscraper located in Tokyo that used to house the Japan Rail Freight offices. I liked the various forecourt and pedestrian/underground parking space areas, and I have also given the podium roof a green-space treatment (this area of the building has a more Japanese style "karesansui" garden, but raked pebbles and little stones won't work at the small SC4 scale) that makes the building equally suited to either Japanese-styled cities or Western-styled ones. It should also complement the series of other Japanese buildings I have made. The building is offered as a high wealth, high density Commercial Offices Building on a 4x4 lot. It grows on all tilesets and employs 2,255 sims. It is suitable for CAM and non-CAM cities alike. If you want to make this a ploppable, I would suggest using Buggis extra cheats which will enable you to select this (and indeed any other building in your plugins - including maxis content) from a drop down list. --------------------------------------- STATS CO$$$: Lot size : 4x4 Growth Stage: 7 (High Density) Bulldoze Cost: $1,144 Capacity Satisfied: CO$$ 3,223; CO$$$ 2,255 Pollution: 13 (Air)/ 13 (Water)/ 5 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 5/6/0 Power Consumed: 91 Mwh Water Consumed: 981 Gal/Month Building Style: Chicago, New York, Houston and Euro Occupant Group: High Wealth CO, BSC, BSC-Mattb325 --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: There are two model files in this download.

If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod.

PWN London, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- Inspired by the squat and dumpy newer buildings that litter London's west end, the PWN building is a really useful 2x2 building that I made to cap off W2W streets, as you can see in the picture: but it works equally well as a standalone building or in a more typical W2W setting. The building is real, but the sign is just made up (based on the initials of one of the tenants in the building...I couldn't resist). It is a six story, red-brick, limestone, steel and glass box which attempts to convey more complex massing by providing subtle bays along the secondary street elevations. The lot comes in two flavours: a growable Medium-Wealth Commercial Services and a ploppable Clinic, which is found in the Health Menu and is better than the in-game large hospital in terms of capacity (3,700) and coverage (856) radius. The clinic also provides up to 129 civic jobs. For a small footprint hospital, this one certainly punches (some might say 'PWNs') above its weight. Both lots are 2x2. --------------------------------------- STATS CS§§: Lot size : 2x2 Growth Stage: 6 (Medium and High Density Zoning) Bulldoze Cost: §432 Capacity Satisfied: CS§ 761, CS§§192 Pollution: 7 (Air)/ 4 (Water)/ 9 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 5/6/0 Power Consumed: 16 Mwh Water Consumed: 186 Gal/Month Building Style: Chicago/NY/Houston/Euro Occupant Group: Commercial Services Building STATS CLINIC: Lot Size: 2x2 Occupant Groups: Civic, Health, Strikeable Health, Hospital, Ambulance Maker Plop Cost: §2,300 Jobs: Jobs§29; Jobs§§76; Jobs§§§24 Bulldoze Cost: §120 Power Consumption: 7 MWh Water Consumption: 26 Gal/month Pollution: 3 (Air)/ 2 (Water)/ 1 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 3/4/0 Hospital Coverage Radius: 856 Hospital Pop vs. Distance: 100 / 100 Hospital Effect vs. Ave Age: 8 / 8 Hospital Patient Capacity: 3,700 Hospital HQ Boost: 11.52 Catalog Monthly Cost: § 1,100 / § 100 --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: This download contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users (and other night-time darkening mods, such as Gizmos night-mod) and one for the standard Maxis nite. You must keep only one file - depending on which version you use. If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. Regardless of which file you choose to keep, make sure you DO NOT delete the Lot File! If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod.

Why Are There (Almost) None Exclusively High-Wealth Buildings?
Propfam posted a topic in Architecture & Urban Planning
Hello, There are some premium buildings in the world. For instance, Burj Khalifa, Marina Bay Sands, Petronas Towers, etc. However, they are (correct me if I'm wrong) still catering to middle class with some money to spend. Even, the so-called premium airports aren't exclusively catering to business and (even just) first class flights. Budget flights are allowed to exist in premium airports. My question is, why are there almost none exclusively high-wealth buildings? Even in SimCity 4, especially for commercial and industrial, still caters to middle-class. Only residential that doesn't have mixed wealth, but they're degrade to lower wealth if the desirability drops. Some of the only buildings that I know exclusively for high-wealth are buildings in the NY's Billionaires Row and they're residentials. Even Apple, the world's valuable company despite builds $5 billion dollars office, doesn't only caters to high-earner staffs and their luxury still "pales" in comparison to Istana Nurul Iman in Brunei, for instance. Apple Park "only" features glass, concrete, and maybe some exotic materials but Istana Nurul Iman features marble, silk carpets, etc. I know, tech in the building and most importantly land price and bureaucracy can increase the price but at least, if Apple only caters to high-wealth workers, they gonna put marbles on the floor and some golden toilets, for instance. Forgotten paragraph: In practice, buildings cater to middle class by adding cheaper, smaller, and less but still classified as premium facilities. For example, a premium apartment may have floors from 1 to 25 reserved for flats costing (assuming it's the average price of flats) $150,000 and 26 to 30 for flats costing $750,000, $1,250,000, and $15,000,000. That's what I mean. Editorial addition: take One57 for instance. The residential section of the tower features marble-clad interior, floor heating, top-of-the-line appliance, etc. It starts from $3 million for 95 sqm room. I don't know that's really expensive in NYC or not. But, it has luxurious perks. For the hotel section, I don't really know but it must be the same as the residential. The differences are of course the addition of gathering hall etc. Sorry for wrong info. This is a rough idea from me. Thanks.-

How to solve R$$$ unemployment, if there is no Co$$$ or I-HT demand?
Munchmill posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
So I have this city that has just reached 100k sims. I have a ton of R$ and R$$ demand, but the desirability for R$$$ is so high, they usually just end up upgrading to R$$$. You guys know what happens next: R$$$ moves in, they get no jobs, buildings get abandoned and delapidated, lower income residents move-in, and story repeats itself until you have an entire district of old and delapidated highrises. Is there a way to solve R$$$ employment if I there is no demand for C$$$ or I-HT? I pretty sure the no job zots ain't related to actual "long commute time" since there is great mass transport coverage which then frees up the roads for use by R$$$; most of the zoning being just Medium density; and as well as literally having an entire I-HT districts put just beside the blocs of R$$$ neighborhoods. Most of the city is covered with elementary and highschools and one big university, and I am able to generate a fair bit of I-HT demand in certain times so education is not much of a problem either. I was planning to just keep supplying the R$ and R$$ demand, but I'm afraid I will just secretly end up increasing I-D demand since I get them taxes to 17%.I don't know how much I can keep doing it either, since there's a chance that the situation is going to be the sim even if I had filled up my entire city block with residential.- 13 Replies
