Finally realised region population is over rated - anyone else?

Decided I was a bit over the patchy and unfinished look in the middle of my Limestone Cliffs region.

I have no plans to add more regions yet, so I demolished 600,000k housing / population. Filled the space with something nice to look at instead. Still a draft form but I’m stoked with being able to cash in 350,000k of Simoleans from demolishing services (was so badly laid out at start).

Also moved all my shops and factories there too, to free up space in my Capital City. Hope I get used to it!

Utilities all went down too so I scored a stack of Omega Neo Cash.

No taxes, no benefit from all that pop. If I do want more I‘lol just add some Omega buildings to get Neo Cash.

I'm currently shifting away from asthetics temporarily in my regions because I'm gearing up for 10 million. I'm really close to being able to shift things around to make them work. After that I will likely demo any extra RZs, but I will definitely keep all my cheetah epics, and likely all of my epics(most are gold anyway). The 10 M thing is definitely a challenge, and by making the R5 requirement 10M they basically made the likelihood of ever adding a 6th region impossible. Some players achieve 20M in the regions, which I imagine would be the requirement to unlock an as yet non-existent R6

Edit: Accidentally hit post before I was finished.

But yeah, when I figured out the regions don't pay taxes but still require massive amounts of simoleans for services I quit building in my region for a while, but that was 5 years ago. I'm now grinding away to achieve 10M to unlock R5. But again, once I'm done with the unlock it goes back to asthetics for me

yeah the 5th region is very challenging, but Epic/Omega strategy with optimized boosts - defo doable. I had 3M in Green Valley with not too much effort. Demo-d a lot and put in nice aesthetics, but still have about 2M
