i've tried all the advice people have given me, but skscrapers just won't grow! :bash: I would like it if someone could give detailed advice! :)

THANKS ALOT FOR YOUR ANSWERS!! :D

How many people do you currently have in your city?

How many people do you have in your region?

Did you zone for high density?

Do you have big enough zones?

Do you have high education, low crime, and low commute times?

Well, i do have like a population of 21,00

I have 100,999 people in my region, (because my sister messes it up)

I zone for high density, but they won't form

high education, low crime, and medium cummute time

Thanks for your questions. Hope ya' can answer back

21,000 ppl isnt enough. When you start getting 35-50 thousand people in your city, with sufficient jobs, the skyscrapers will start building. To get stage 8s, you need max R$$$/C0$$$ demand (which can be hard to get), and a considerably large region and city population.

here are my suggestions:

-also you need many parks (res) and plazas (com)!
-Most skyscrapers grow on a 4 x 4 lot (hint: use ctrl button to get the right sized lot)
-Commerial skyscrapers like highways and avenues, build some of them.
-Lower pollution
-at least 25000 population.
-have at least 2 connections (highway,av ,road, rail, monorial) to 2 differnt neightbours.
-High density zoning
-Lower crime (commerical people love love crime)
-Increase traffic (commerical love this too)
-Have good educational system
-Have good hospital system
-High demand at least 3000
-Reduce commute time (res)
-Have landfill or export garbage
-Reduce traffic noise in res areas.
-Have landmarks (commerical).
