Sim Tower is awesome. It's a lot more than just the elevators. My only beef with it is that it's pretty imbalanced. There's almost no reason to build restaurants because they don't seem to ever be a better use of the space compared to adding more hotel rooms.

its..its basically about elevators. you can build nothing but offices and have a 5 star tower with correct elevator setup (other than the minimal reqs needed for each star). spending like 5 mins researching proper elevator / escalator configurations will win you the game easily. the only reason to buy hotels and other things is to reduce congestion. i.e. dedicate like half the floors for an elevator to office and half to hotel. but thats not even necessary with the right config.

yoot tower is simtower but just way harder cause more restrictions and tenant complaint reasons

Bro what? You click buttons to add these guys maybe 2 times per scenario and then put those windows away, and unless your path system is an unnavigable mess or you specifically made a pukefest coaster, you should rarely need to make routes except if it really satisfies your autism to do so. They'll cruise your paths on their own.

RCT is an ad campaign manager, get it right.

I think the restaurants and shops work pretty well in the basement levels. That's what I built there last time I played.

Pic related might be more balanced. Never played it.

You can do that and it works out ok but I've never seen them do especially well. They're always bitching about a lack of customers even as your population skyrockets.
