help SimTower: The Vertical Empire FAQ
How do you increase a tower's star rating in SimTower?
Ratings rise when the building meets milestones involving population, facilities, and tenant satisfaction. Progression unlocks additions such as offices, hotel rooms, cinemas, and eventually a metro station.
Why do people in SimTower complain about elevators?
Elevator congestion is the game's central management problem because tenants travel at predictable rush hours. Players must choose car capacity, stopping patterns, and shaft placement while preserving rentable floor space.
What is the difference between SimTower and Yoot Tower?
SimTower is the 1994 Western release of Yoot Saito's tower simulation, originally published in Japan as The Tower. Yoot Tower, released later, expanded the concept with multiple locations and more varied events.
Which platforms can run the original SimTower?
The original commercial versions were released for Windows and classic Mac OS. Modern players commonly need an older operating-system environment or compatibility solution because the game predates current 64-bit Windows releases.
