Simcity | Cities Of Tomorrow: Megatowers! | Tips For Successful Cities | SimCity 5 | SimCity 2013 |
Welcome to my SimCity Cities Of Tomorrow guide (aka SimCity 5 or SimCity 2013 ). #Simcity #Simcitygameplay #citiesoftomorrow
In this video I discuss Megatowers. Yes, they can be tricky and confusing, so I share some tips and strategies for having success with these structures.
I love this game. SimCity is a great way for me to unwind and I thought it would be fun to record and share with you along with some tips and my approach to starting a successful city.

You're welcome. Hope it helps. Let me know if there is another topic you'd like me to cover.
I loved the sim city series, it was probably the first series i got into for gaming. What EA did with that game was so bad that when they abandoned it they gave everyone who bought it a free game. The bit your showcasing now is my biggest problem with going back. Megatowers are great until you get a problem on your 4th floor and it empties to never refil. At 21:27 i can see by the unhappy faces your about to experience this bug. Loved the game tho just wish it was made by someone else.

Yes. The Simcity franchise was was my first. I started with Simcity 3000. I agree with you about Megatowers.
Thanks, repurchased this and having a blast with these towers.

using megatowers scares me. the city can go wrong real quick. i don’t know what i did wrong but once i start using megatowers my city is always on negative income. and the traffic it generates are massive.

I completely understand. Megatowers are a challenge. Next time you use one just do low wealth apartments with a park level in the middle. Surround the tower with shopping, parks and gambling. See if that helps

You must connect the towers so the sims don't drive they use skybridge
You touched on something interesting in this video. One thing to point out is how some buildings can increase the wealth level in concert with other buildings. I noticed when you placed a high wealth park near the elite megatower the wealth level upgraded. One more point is gambling. Gambling is very relative to tourism. I like to use Gambling casinos just for the lodging. I f I can get my tourist to stay in my city a good 48 hours my tourist rating goes up which means more money. Try to get them to enter city to get the main attraction and when they try to have Hotels or Casino hotels near the city entrance. This way they will stay overnight and the next day they will spend more money than leave. This strategy was presented to me in the Sim City 2013 written guide. It does work. The same strategy will also augment your tourism crowns as well.

Great point. I discuss that in my tourism tutorial. Many service buildings impact land value. Great observation.
For the drones you make them also... When you buy those upscale police station fire and medical the drones are limited when they break you will need to replace them

Yes. Drones are made at the Omega drone factory. They leave there and go to fire/police/hospital and are transformed.

I just had a huge facepalm moment. 8:22 I never knew that panel existed until just now and it likely would of saved so much pain and struggle with failed attempts commonly caused by improper tower use.

ive experimented you dont need to only to apartments, the only trouble i have its with malls, i never seem to fill any of them

That's what is interesting about Megatowers. There are so many stacking options. Using mostly apartments is what works best for me. You're right about malls. I don't use them much. Can't keep them full of shoppers. What's stack do you use?

@@leonarddavis8732 i do like, if we are talking about low-medium towers a try to put a office anywhere, then some parks to increase attraction, as same for medium-high towers, i priorize office and connect them to skybridges, so they can go work or use parks from other towers, (except malls, they appear to be allergic or something), and thanks for the road tip it boosted a bit my towers when i connected the 3 sides
