I think it was a success in large part because it was small and so I didn't put too much money into zoning, roads, etc. There was all this investment and I ended up with over 1,000,000 simolians and not even enough space to spend all my cold cash. I'll have to follow your suggestion and see if these buildings are vacant when this happens.Ĭlick to expand.I had one city that just took off and never looked back and I still haven't figured out what I was doing right. I've had this happen while my population is either staying steady or slowly rising (I think), and, like I said, it will happen to buildings that have just recently been built. Maybe it was happening to the high class buildings because they built them but the rich population was too low.ĭoes anyone know what the factors are that cause SC4's sim engine to decide to build a building within a zone? You'd think if it was purely based on demand that the building would stay occupied for a while after being built unless your population suddenly plummets. I've seen it happen within a couple of real time minutes to a brand new high class apartment high rise (in cheetah mode). It also does it to businesses too, and to all manner of buildings, both rich and poor.
When I stop blowing off time at work and go home, I'll crank up SC4 again and see what's going on in these dirty buildings. So maybe I should zone less residential if they're building buldings that no one lives in.
