Hey guys,

I don't actually have the game, though I would be more inclined to buy the game after certain features were implemented or at least modded by the community. This is what this thread is for, general points that may get the old Sim Tower fans into the game.

If the developers don't create this content, it doesn't mean that the modding community can't, right?

Note that I have not played the game, Project Highrise, nor have I looked too much into the game itself. I sorta just found Sim Tower to play with every few years due to nostalgia.

1; Elevator Management - Yes, it is a pain to new players. But diehard fans loved this aspect. This included selective floors, multiple cabs, double cabs and different types of Elevators. Including vehicle elevators for parking lots or trash collectors.


Personal Thoughts on Elevators; Oddly, from some posts on the forum about elevator management, people fail to realize that older buildings in the world today (In america and canada mainly) did Elevator management actually occur. Certain buildings having multiple elevators that only went to certain floors (Odd floors, Even floors, etc) was done to control traffic on the ground / main floors of skyscrapers. It was a common practice in the 1940-1970's construction due to technological constraints. Nowadays, cables, wiring, etc - are a lot stronger and so buildings have no issues with tall elevators (Even with skyscrapers swaying due to height)


2; Escalators - Not really a must, but some would enjoy this feature to speed up people going up and down stairwells.


3; Outdoor Stairwells / Fire Escapes / Second Layered Stairwells (3d effect / Overlapping stairwells) - Not really something I actually used a lot personally. But still a few people asking about this.


4; Vehicle Interaction - Garbage Collectors, Car parks, etc. It was fun trying to micromanage such things.


5; Height Restriction? - I actually don't know if there is a height restriction or not. If there is one, mod to remove it. Or at least a mod to add in Roof Content, like helicoptor pads, etc.

Anyone else want to add anything? Note that the developers are "looking into" certain designs and other such factors, but this could or may take longer. They may not even choose the designs you want, so why not take a step forward and start scripting for the fans? ^_^
