Here's some fun stuff to do!
Here's some fun stuff to do!
The Magic Eraser:
It's possible to overlap some kinds of buildings and erase corners! To do it: 1.Select the Landscape Tree tool. 2.Click the
tool on the map and hold down the left mouse button. You'll see a tree or two plop down. 3.While holding down the shift
key and the mouse button, move the cursor over any zone, building, or object, and it will disappear.
This is a truly wonderful tool, especially for those DOS owners out there, because when you erase arcos, the entire
building may be gone, but the population remains! After it's gone just zone and build over it.
Phantom Water Pump:
This trick allows you to water a whole city with just one water pump! Yes, it's true. This egg isn't in as widespread use as
the other ones, but it's one of the most useful of all. It's prime advantage is that is saves space and worries about your water
system. Here's how to do it:
1.De-zone a 3x3 square of land.
2.Place a water pump on the middle square.
3.Connect power to the pump.
4.DO NOT CONNECT PIPES TO THE PUMP!!!
Now check in your graph window. Your water % should be at 100.
Frequently the message "Water Shortage Reported" may come up. Just ignore it, everything is fine.
Crashing Copters!:
A really fun thing to do if you were a SimCity Classic player is to destroy the helicopters! In the origional SimCity the
helicopters were always saying annoying things to you. Now it's payback time. Just click the centering tool on the center of
a helicopter and it will crash and burn into the ground. (Just make sure that you have disasters disabled or it will start a
fire)
Bull Moose Roar:
If you bulldoze enough trees you will get a jeer from your citizens and then after a while be asked if you would like to hear
the endangered Bull Moose Roar.
Growing Trees:
Just like real trees, trees in SimCity 2000 will grow, mature and reproduce by themselves. However, you probably will not
notice it unless you stare at one piece of land for a very long time.
Loch Ness Monster:
Every now and then you may see a mysterious head appear in one of your lakes. If you guessed that it is the famed Loch
Ness Monster then you are correct. Don't worry though, in this game she is strictly plant eating, except for one exception. If
you own a marina, sometimes she will munch on your boats!
Free Advertising:
If you watch the movie at the drive-in carefully, you will realize that the star of the movie is one of the stars of another
Maxis product.
Ruminations:
If you have version 1.1 or later, then you have an extra feature. Click the query tool on a Library and note the special
ruminate button. Clicking on this will cause quotes from the graphic-novel author Neil Gaiman to appear.
Super Sim!:
Faster than a speeding bullet, stronger than an ox, yes, its SuperSim! If you do not have a military base and a disaster hits
your city, every now and then a littly guy known as SuperSim will come and save you. Don't cound on him though because
he seldom appears.
