Just started playing Sim City 4 again and wondered if anyone has any tips for getting skyscrapers to appear.
So far I've only built one city which has a population of around 30 000 with a large portion of the map taken up. Quite a lot of that is low density residential as a suggestion I read elsewhere was to build low density residential early on, presumably because thats all that will grow there for a long time.
I am now making a decent profit and haven't had to use any of the special profit buildings (toxic waste etc) but I'm not sure whether to start clearing out parts of the city and rezoning them to be high density residential or industrial? For the time being there are still quite a few areas left still to build on but that ground is hilly which leads to my final question of whether its worth zoning high density buildings on hills or whether there is a penalty?
