Maximum Population

[選抜.Mezuro]

Hey! I just wanna ask what is the maximum population you should have?
I reached 694k and I can't place anymore buildings: parks, firehouses, police stations, etc. even the growables.

If there's no max population, what should I do about the problem I encountered?

Yes there is a max population, and max roads, and max citzens instances, and max vehicles... you have hit one if not more than one of the many limits.

Get either the watch it mod, which will show you the game limits, or there is another mod, that just shows the limits of the game.

It's time for you to start a new city :)

Max population is one million. Can't get there without mods. With 25-tile unlock only, you are likely at your max, maybe a little more if you optimize better your zones.

If you have other mods, you can get a million easy. To get past building limit, you need to dezone all your tiny buildings and mainly construct 4x4 buildings.

If you start getting a bunch of not enough raw materials, dead and garbage not being picked up, usually means you hit your vehicle limits and you'll need to optimize your zones and roads better to balance out freight and job/worker ratios per district.

Like Mark wrote. 25 tiles is a must. Also a bunch of other moda that make the game playable. At 940k population I have a dozen mods just so the gameplay mechanics can keep working.

Only zoning 4x4 buildings is another must.

You can see how this looks like in my Let's Play Road to 1 million population on the hard mode : https://youtu.be/De4yx6_2ai8

Just make your unemployment over 50% by eliminating work.
Then you can make more high density housing, pack em in, and give em nothing to do but kill each other, and pay taxes.

The reward for over 50% for more than 5 weeks, is you get the US Capitol.

I did it at 200,000 sims, so totally decimated my workforce.
So now to recover my loss of work taxes, im gonna tax the hell out of the sims while the workforce grows back.
Interestingly the sims didn't really move out much, i made it to 61% and 184,000 still living in the city,
