first you make more farms then you put your taxes back to normal,then build more houses.

it's obvious that the game is messed up. did you trade for a new one?

residential wont form without commercial.
there has to be at least 30 tiles,exept in dawn of civilization

DUDE U HAVE TO GET MONEY TO BUILD RETARD

dude!seriously!
put that taxes on 4-6%,
every expence on full,
and make a good mix of r+c=
pass!!!!!!!!

you get fire stations on 18,000 sims from goal.
if your zones are not formingcheck the food,or
make more commerical

check if the houses have food and if they dont make some space and build a huge farm so
you dont have to worry about it.

im stuck ive made the plans to build residance but they wont build tell me how to make
them

at the start of the level,it is very hard to keep your city diaster free.keep taxes on
low,expences on highest.u lose money,but enter:MONEYBAGS.make sure to have a good surplus
of food,if you are not sure on what areas are low on food,go on information sheet.make a
good balence of res.and com.make sure you dont have to much of commercial,they
pollute.also,land values,higher the value,higher the amount of people.Waterfrount property
has higher land value.i suggest yo build your city on a island
