- Good Morning!
- Welcome to the SimTower Interactive Demo.
- SimTower is an entertainment simulation which gives you
- the power to build a high-rise skyscraper, and manage it
- into a profitable commercial empire.
-
-
- Start SimTower by building a lobby for your base.
- Lay down the lobby by clicking the mouse button
- on the ground floor.
- The Lobby Button is already highlighted and looks like this:
-
- Expand the Lobby so you can start placing offices above it.
- Click the mouse button and drag the Lobby to make it
- wider. Again, the Lobby Button looks like this:
-
- Once you build an office, people will start moving in.
- Click the Office Button. Start at the left side above
- the Lobby, click the mouse and place a series of offices
- across the top of the Lobby. The Office Button looks like this:
-
- Your office will be empty until you install stairs so
- people can enter.
- Click the Stairs Button (Stairs appear by clicking
- and holding the Lobby Button).
- Place the stairs between the
- Lobby and Office floors.
-
- Look! You should start to see offices open and close,
- people arrive and depart. Soon you'll earn rental income
- and become a real landlord! Now click the Office Button
- and add more offices up to the 5th floor.
- Again, the Office Button looks like this:
-
- Now install elevators for your tenants.
- Click the Elevator Button and place an
- elevator by moving the elevator pointer to the bottom
- right of the Lobby and clicking the mouse button.
- The Elevator Button looks like this:
-
-
- Now let your Finger do the walking.
- Click on the Finger Button, and move the Finger pointer
- to the top section of the elevator, where the gears
- are whirling and there is a small upward-pointing arrow.
- Hold down the mouse and drag the elevator up.
-
- Very Good! Now let's put another car in the shaft. As your
- tower and population grows, scheduling elevators will
- be more critical.
- Click on the Elevator Button and place it in
- the existing shaft. Again, the Elevator Button looks
- like this:
-
- Your office workers now need a place to eat.
- Click the Fast Food Button and place a cafe underneath
- the Lobby. The Fast Food Button looks like this:
-
- Click on the Finger Button and drag the elevator down one
- floor. This will allow your customers to get there.
-
-
- Click the Magnifying Glass Button and click on an
- office. Take a glimpse and see what your tenants think
- of you so far. It's your duty to keep them happy or else
- they will leave.
-
- As your population grows so will your tower--up to 100
- stories. Along with this expansion, you will advance
- in Star Ratings which will let you put in hotels,
- shops, restaurants, movie theaters, party halls, metro
- stations and more.
-
