Description
MegaTowers are giant structures where the Sims of the future live, work, and play. MegaTowers are a great addition to any city, or you can build a city based around them.
Because MegaTowers build up, not out, they can act as a self-contained ecosystem. The residential levels on MegaTowers can also house more Sims then the high-density buildings of the same wealth levels, so you can have more Sims in your city than ever before. This is especially important for attracting Sims to work in the Academy, which we’ll talk more about next week.
There are two types of MegaTowers: normal and elite. Normal MegaTowers are designed for low and medium wealth Sims. Elite MegaTowers are designed for medium and high wealth Sims. Normal MegaTowers are less expensive and earn less money, and some of the levels don’t have as much functionality as their elite equivalents. Elite MegaTowers are expensive to build and earn more money than normal MegaTowers. Most of the levels of the elite MegaTowers provide better coverage than the normal version.
Once you have picked what kind of MegaTower you want to build, there are a few things to consider when placing it. MegaTowers have multiple entrances; once you plop the base, you can attach roads to the road stubs on the sides. These “side entrances” can allow you to route traffic to and from the MegaTower in new and interesting ways. Also, MegaTowers can provide many of the essential services to themselves and the area around them by building specialized levels, so you will want to consider that when placing your MegaTower and connecting it to roads.
There are three basic types of levels that you can build on a MegaTower: Apartment, Mall, and Office. Apartment levels are where Sims live, Mall levels are where they shop, and they work in Office levels.
