Jason's Sim City 2000 Tips, Hints and Cheat CodesSim City 2000 Tips and stratagiesHere's a few simple tips you might want to try.In order to get inexpensive power, cut down on pollutionand increasepopulation density, try the hydrodam trick. Either (1), build a largemountain of waterfalls while editing the land, and then build hydro dams asneeded, or (2), put waterfalls and hydrodams just along hilsides, especiallyin areas where high value is unimportant, as needed. Although the price of waterplus the dam adds up to $500, it's still pretty cheap per mW as power plantsgo.If you want high property value, go tree crazy. Sincehillsides arevirtually useless, put a tree on every one. In 'downtown' areas, i.e. Thosewith lots of built-up, adjacent commercial towers and little traffic,consider removing a few roads here and there and replacing them with trees.This all can take some time, but it will increase values.Unless you're cheating and have unlimited funds, bus terminals are farsuperior to trains and subways to reduce traffic at cost.Trains arevirtually useless, taking up a lot of space and only slightlty affectingtraffic, and while subways take up less space and do more than trains,they cost huge amounts of money to build. In cities with unlimited funds,I usually use subways and bus terminals.Light commercial zones are a waste of time and money.Unlike residential and industrial zones, the leap from light to densecommercial does not really increase traffic, pollution, or decrease values.Light commercial just has lower population density.
Plus, those huge officebuildings are really the best-looking part of your city. Why bother withrows of small, blocky bed-and breakfasts that do little more than takeup space?Highways suck. It seems to me that placing highways inmost places generates more traffic out of nowhere. Plus, they're expensive,require multiple onramps at intersectons, and take up lots of space. The onebenefit they have is when connecting to other cities; they help get rid ofthat annoying 'industry needs connections' message. Unless you're usingthem to make you city look more realistic, there's no point in making highwaysthat extend far from your city's borders.Though true in the real world, in SimCity 2000 water does notincrease property values. Believe it or not, I built several citiesunder this assumption before I noticed this little bit of trivia.
So don'tfeel like you wasting pristine riverfront or beach on industry and waterpumps. The sims don't seem to care.And for god's sake, turn off disasters. Screw any'realism' that natural disasters may add to your experience as mayor (howrealistic is the monster anyway?).
