In order to raise more approval, you need to...
- Raise land values and lower pollution by placing parks.
- Add more police stations, Schools, Hospitals and fire stations and/or raise the expenses
for them.
- give the buildings water and electricity.
- Lower taxes
- pay attention to the RCI+F Meter (which ever one is longest means the sims want it
more.)
- lower pollution in the residential and commerce zones.
- place the jail as far away from the residential and commerce zones as possible (or place
them in along with industrial.
I hope this helps.

ok, if u want more ppl or aproval, build houses, and some more stores maybe, houses r more
important tho!

Whenever i start the adventure mode i'm allready thinking ahead (trust me, had to start
over many times)
I usually choose for the map with the river in the middle. Only build my buildings on one
half and leave the other half empty. If you will enter the industrial times you can put
the electricity thingies wich give much polution far far away from your buildings,
decreasing polution very much. I put all my poluting stuff on the other half, as far away
as i can. Don't forget roads though!! Hope this helps.
