Hi there! I'm a long-time browser but first-time poster (and just made my account so I can finally talk to all you lovely people!) I've been playing SimCity4 since the beginning, but I've never gotten great at it. (Admittedly I feel like this describes my relationship with almost all the city-builder games I play!) Recently I've been able to get some residential skyscrapers for the first time (yes, I'm a slow learner -- who loves parenthesis!). The problem has been keeping the R$ sims in my cities employed. Without letting I-D completely take over, my R$ sims wind up moving out (and that's not what I want, obviously). I'm using the NKO mod, which means that I'm able to position educational buildings within the vicinity of my R$ neighborhoods in order to build my R$$ and R$$$ neighborhoods. The side effect of this is that the R$ sims become educated, which drops the demand (region-wide) for I-D. Since CS$ buildings don't provide a lot of jobs, my R$ areas are either not developing or they are moving out as a result of not being able to find jobs in the home city tile or connected tiles. I've literally never made it this far in the game and I'm really happy with what I've been able to do and how much I'm (finally!) learning, but this one has me stumped. From what I've read in these forums, R$ is important to keeping a city (or region) going but I can't seem to keep them employed. Is the solution as simple as encouraging more R$$ into my city? (This has, so far, given me a host of other problems, such as the sheer number of slow-developing commercial lots in the city). I'm stumped! Any advice would be appreciated!
