SimTower allows the player to build and manage the operations of a modern, multi-use skyscraper. They must plan where to place facilities in the tower that include restaurants, condominiums, offices, and elevators. To prevent tenants from vacating their properties, the player must keep their stress low by fulfilling their demands for medical centers, parking lots, recycling facilities, clean hotel rooms with the help of housekeepers, and an efficient transportation system, which involves managing elevator traffic.[3] SimTower, which was built around an elevator simulation program, places a strong emphasis on good elevator management.[4]
The game begins with a one-star tower with limited building options. To increase the tower's star rating, it must attract more tenants by providing more living space. New facilities are made available while the tower progresses from a one-star rating to a five-star rating. The tower is limited to a maximum of 100 floors above ground and nine stories below ground. Standard elevators, which can span a maximum of 30 floors, and express elevators, which can span the entire height of the building, must be used efficiently to decrease tenant stress.[3]
Certain events can take place while managing the tower. For example, terrorists may phone the player to let them know that they have hidden a bomb in the building, and that they demand a ransom. If the ransom is not paid, then security services must find the bomb before it detonates, or else the tower will incur significant damages.[3] If the player builds facilities underground, the game may notify them that their workers have discovered gold treasure, which gives the player a significant amount of funds. At random intervals during the game, there are notifications that state that a VIP will be visiting the tower soon, so the player must prepare for their visit. If the VIP enjoys their visit because of variables such as a comfortable hotel suite and efficient navigation, the VIP will give the tower a favorable rating. A favorable rating would then allow the tower to advance to the next star level, assuming the other qualifications are met. Although it does not have any impact on the tower, at the end of the fourth quarter every year in the game, Santa Claus and his reindeer fly across the tower.[5]

I've been able to run it on mountain lion but I also can't save the game.
When I go into the "save" screen, there is only the "Open" and "Cancel" buttons, but no "save" buttons to save the game.

I am also unable to save, running mountain lion. Crashes every time. Anyone figure out a workaround?
I just found a workaround on WineHQ. If you're running on a mac, go into Text Edit and create a blank text file, name it whatever you like and place it anywhere you want. Get info on that file and change the file extension to '*.TDT'
When you go to save your SimTower game, change the drive to the 'Z' drive which is your Macintosh HD, then navigate to the file and overwrite it. Fixed it for me!

Will try technique above. Just to say I'm running Snow Leopard and encounter the same save game crash
Not able to save... Running under Mountain Lion...Is there something that I can do?
So I tried the method mentioned above, but there is still no way to save whatsoever, only to open, which then it crashes. i'm running on os x 10.7
when i try to unzip file after downloading it says the file is corrupt
Save problem solved!
Like said above, change the "drive" to Z. Make a text file with .tdt as the extension, and then on your mac drag it into the applications bin.
This was the only one that I could navigate to that was actually my computer. After it is in there, when it tries to save there will be your file in the save tray.
Highlight it, click open and there you go!

It crashes everytime I try to build the Cathedral on the 100th floor for Tower status. Any solution? 
thank you sooo much
