You'll need a healthy Regional Population BEFORE you'd get skyscrapers (level eaight) to grow on a city tile. So you'll first need to have setup several neighbor connected cities all over your region to achieve this.

It also kinda helps to know that the default growables CO $$ and CO $$$ are pretty lackluster. All the images and video's you see of players with truely skyscraping downtown regions are downloaded growable/plopables.

High density CO likes High land value high traffic Lots of parks LOTS of mass transit and requires a good regional population plus anything that relives the demand cap (Airports, landmarks, certain gift rewards).

If you have/are okay with mods, you should take a look at the CAM.

Definately if you want big skyscrapers. It only comes with a few growables itself but there are plenty of CAMeLOTs outthere for download if you dont mind installing a bunch of dependency's

You will need to login to the file exchange to browse and download from Devotions file exchange. Make sure you also download any dependency's anything needs
Unless otherwise stated all mods go into your My Documents/simcity4/plugins folder.

Aside from SC4Devotion which Nadlug pointed you to, Simtropolis...

http://community.simtropolis.com/files/?_fromLogin=1

Is the second place where you'll find mods for SIMCity 4.

There was a third place, SIMPeg which unfortunately shut down several months ago due to server hardware going FUBAR.

Fool~!

SC4Devotion and Simtropolis were probably around EVEN BEFORE you were gaming so files they host are absolutely safe. Also these two sites are very strict with what gets uploaded to their servers, if someone uploaded something fishy, they take it down in literally minutes.

I can vouch for the file exchange on both Simtropolis and Devotion. Every upload is heavily scrutinized. (personally I preferr Devotions file exchange because they give you a list of all needed dependency's if any exist)

All that being said from the sound of things your under restrictions given by parents which can be bothersome.
If your not confortable with modding games, or extensivly and tracking down dependency files Its probaby best that you didnt. Unfortunately thats the only way to get really large skyscrapers.
