Learn to implement the Local Effect Residential Superstructure (LERS) layout pattern in SimCity 4. This guide details its components and benefits for high-tech city development.
This section of the guide covers specific city zones and introduces the Local Effect Residential Superstructure (LERS) layout pattern, demonstrated in the Villa San Girolamo tutorial city.
Tutorial 4: Villa San Girolamo (Year 0-10)
This tutorial city is designed to introduce the LERS layout pattern and the Orbital Residential Structure (ORS) for comparison. The primary goal is to build demand and showcase a high-tech city. Population may initially decrease but will recover as LERS becomes effective. Refer to B2.03.2 for the concept behind LERS.
The diagram below illustrates the LERS layout. Key:
- R: Residential
- -: Roads
- E: Elementary School
- H: High School
- .: Gap / Empty space for amenities or Stations
- S: Bus or Subway Station
- P: Parks, Gardens, rewards, or public transport stations
- C: Tennis Courts or Basketball courts (any recreation facility)
- M: Hospital
- W: Workplace (Commercial or Industrial)
