SimCity (2013)

***SimCity*** is a city-building and urban planning simulation massively multiplayer online game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. Released for Microsoft Windows in early March 2013, it is the first major installment in the *SimCity* series since the release of *SimCity 4* a decade before. A version was released on August 29, 2013.

The game is considered a reboot of the *SimCity* series. Players can create a settlement that can grow into a city by zoning land for residential, commercial, or industrial development, as well as building and maintaining public services, transport and utilities. *SimCity* uses a new engine called GlassBox that allows for more detailed simulation than previous games. Throughout its development, *SimCity* received critical acclaim for its new engine and reimagined gameplay; however, publications cautioned the game's use of a persistent Internet connection, with which it stores saved games and allows players to share resources.

#### Thoughts

##### Residential

* I love my new house!
* Living here is going to be fun!
* I am ready to plop down on the couch and watch some TV.
* I could really use some bubble gum right now.
* Mowing the lawn is too post-modern for me.
* We have such wonderful sunsets here!
* What a long day… Home sweet home…
* I’m doing so well in this town; I think I’ll be renovating soon!
* I’m getting rid of this shack soon and getting my dream home!
* Life’s good, I’m saving up money to buy a bigger house!
* Movin’ on up!

##### Commercial

* I need to pick up some groceries. Be back in a few!
* I'm going shopping! Buy buy!
* I've got Simoleons to spend! Off to the store!
* Let's go out to eat!
* Simoleons are the lifeblood of a well-tuned city.
* The life of a Sim is not an easy one, but we get along. Right?
* There are two types of people in this world… shoppers and workers… which one are you?

##### Industrial

* Ready for a long day of work!
* I’ll take any work I can get, but there just aren’t enough jobs!
* It’s great there are so many high-paying jobs out there.
* I never thought we’d struggle to find good managers.
* It’s tough attracting top class talent.
* It’s tough to find good managers around here!
* There aren’t enough blue-collar workers right now.
* There aren’t enough tech workers in the city.
* We’re struggling to find enough people to fill our vacancies.
* Ah… I love the sound of machinery in the morning!
* As long as I wear this mask, I should be protected from the deadly vapor.
* Do we ever get a weekend?
* If I have to drill one more bolt, I think I’ll go nuts.

##### Water

* I’m parched! Mayor, we need some water!
* It’s like a desert out here. Build some Water Towers or something!
* My shower doesn’t work, Mayor! Turn on the water!
* Our city is drying up! Pump some water already!
* We need some water. I can’t wash my car!
* What’s a guy got to do to get a drink around here?
* Hmm… not much water. Maybe an extra water pump would help?
* The water's coming through in a trickle. Maybe the city needs to add another water pump?
* Perhaps mayor ~local\_player\_name~ could start importing water to get over this shortage?
* I guess buying water from out of town could be a little expensive, but it's worth considering.
* Ahhh. This water is delicious!
* Crystal clear water, just how I like it!
* This water tastes so good you could bottle and sell it!
* I can finally take a shower, now that we’ve got water.
* Steady flow of water here, no problems!
* Yuck, this water tastes awful!
* Is water supposed to be green? I guess I'll have to drink bottled water for now.
* This water is disgusting! We need a treatment plant!
* The water supply here is shameful!
* This sludge is making me sick!
* Clean up our water supply!
* Yuck, this water is chunky! They should really filter this junk out.
* Why don't they put a filter on that giant water facility? This stuff is awful!

##### Sewage

* I don’t know where the sewage goes… but I’m glad it goes away!
* This is one time I don’t mind seeing tax money go down the drain. Yay sewers!
* With the sewer system working, I don’t have to dump it in the yard!
* Mayor, my toilet is backed up. Either get our sewage system fixed or stop by with a plunger.
* Mommy! I pottied on my own! Uh-oh, mommy! It’s not going down…
* The toilet water is coming out when I flush it… this must be the Coriolis effect.
* Well, I hope you’re happy, Mayor. Our sewage system stinks – literally!
* I knew that Sewage Treatment Plant didn’t have enough tanks. Now the sewage is overflowing!
* This pipe just isn’t big enough for everything it’s pushing through, we need another one!

##### Government

* Wow, our mayor is terrible!
* I hate the mayor!
* I'm going to egg mayor ~local\_player\_name~'s house… who's with me?
* Awful job, Mayor!
* Our mayor is the worst ever!
* Our mayor is okay… I guess.
* We could use a better mayor for this town.
* If we ever had an election… I'd vote for the other guy.
* Come on mayor, you can do better than this!
* Just be glad you have good-looking hair.
* I think I have a crush on our mayor.
* As a mayor you are not too shabby… could be better though.
* You are a better mayor than that guy in charge of our neighboring city.
* I like you… I don't know why, but I do.
* Keep it up! You're doing really well!
* Wow, our mayor is awesome!
* I love mayor ~local\_player\_name~!
* Three cheers for the mayor!
* Great job, Mayor!
* Our mayor is the best ever!
* Hey, anyone seen Town Hall around here?
* We could use a Town Hall to take our complaints to.
* We should thank our neighbor for building a Town Hall and getting the region in order.
* We need a City Hall to deal with the different departments the city needs.
* Maybe if we had a City Hall, they could lower our taxes!
* I bet city services could improve if we had a City Hall.
* I wonder when we'll get a City Hall?
* I wonder when mayor ~local\_player\_name~ will move in?
* Doesn't the mayor want to live here?
* I heard the mayor might build a house in our town.
* Taxes are too high!
* You think maybe you could lower the tax rate a bit?
* Cut taxes now! I'm so sick of this!
* I can't afford to eat because taxes are so high.
* I'm organizing a group to protest the high taxes in this town.
* Thanks for the low tax level, Mayor!
* Taxes are great here! No need to waste tea!
* I could use this tax break to pay off the mob… uh, bank.
* I love not having to pay so much in taxes.
* With lower taxes I might be able to afford to build my dream house.

##### Waste Disposal

* The garbage is piling up here, we need a Garbage Dump!
* There's so much garbage! Can't someone take it away?!
* All this garbage is starting to stink! We need a dump!
* Why isn't there a Garbage Dump?
* Why do we have to wait so long to get our garbage taken away?
* I hardly ever see any garbage trucks!
* There's garbage everywhere!
* There's garbage all over this city!
* All this garbage is creating pollution!
* I'm glad the city's taking care of the garbage.
* Good thing they're taking all the garbage to the dump!
* My house is spotless! Mayor, thanks for building a Garbage Dump!
* I like that we got an incinerator now for our garbage!
* I want to see that garbage burn! Burn! Burn!!!
* Incinerators are so much fun!
* We could probably get rid of garbage faster if we had a Garbage Incinerator!
* Why don't we get a Garbage Incinerator to make our lives easier?
* Why let our garbage pile up when we can incinerate it? Get an incinerator!
* At the rate we're creating garbage, the dump will be full in no time!
* We better expand our garbage capacity before we fill up.
* I bet that fire was caused by all this garbage. That stuff's flammable!
* People keep getting injured. I bet it was something in all this garbage.
* All this garbage is dangerous. Someone could get injured!
* If this garbage issue doesn't get resolved, I'm moving to a new city!
* Man, I feel really sick. Wonder if that mountain of garbage has anything to do with it?
* I must be sick. I can't even smell all this garbage any more.
* We are polluting our environment with garbage! Let's recycle!
* Build a Recycling Center so we can save the Earth!
* I'm chaining myself to a tree until we build a Recycling Center!
* I'm so glad to be in a recycling city!
* We can recycle now! Yay!
* A Recycling Center? What are we, going green?
* Recycling might even make the city a bit more money.
* To get people to recycle more, we need to start teaching people about it.
* Let's build more schools to make people smarter about recycling.
* Teach recycling by building more schools.
* Here's a load of garbage for you!
* Junk incoming!
* Nobody wants this stuff, so we'll just put it here.

##### Fire

* I feel a lot safer now we've got a Fire Station in town.
* It's great that we've got a Fire Station now.
* I love being in a city that cares about fire protection.
* Those firemen are so hot! Um… because of fire… yeah…
* Now we are talking! A Large Fire Station with all the bells and whistles!
* Now we can provide fire service to the entire region!
* Wow, that new fire station is huge! This city is awesome!
* Electrical short! Oh no!
* I smell smoke…
* I’m searching the Internet for ‘what to do when there’s a fire’ …hmm… slow today…
* Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?
* Let’s see… set to 400 degrees… pfft… I’m just gonna crank it up to 800…
* Oh no… call the fire department!
* I’m too smart to stay in a town with so many fire problems.
* That fire better not spread to my school!
* Hey, keep the fire on your side of the fence!
* Holy leaping llamas! The fire is spreading!
* My collection of old newspapers and historic gun powder will be ruined!
* Oh no! Grab the hose, there are embers popping over to our roof!
* The whole town is burning up!
* These fires are getting out of control! Do something!
* The city's ablaze!
* This is a state of emergency!
* Fires everywhere! Ahhh!
* I'm worried there's gonna be a fire in one of those abandoned buildings!
* I'm really scared some of those abandoned buildings are going to catch fire soon!
* This place is like a tinderbox with all these abandoned buildings. They could go up in smoke so easily!
* Clean up any extra garbage! That increases your fire risk!
* A good education can help you lower your risk of causing fires. Make sure to stay in school!
* This land is a bit dry! Remember that's going to make for more chance of fires!
* If you see an abandoned house, make sure to stay away... those are very risky for fire!
* A house with non-functioning plumbing has a double chance of having fires!
* Wow, the paper says the fire fighters have put out [Number of Extinguished Fires] fires so far. Well done!

##### Health

* \*cough cough\* This cough is just not going away.
* \*sniff\* Anybody got a tissue?
* Maybe if I rest up for a while, this will pass. \*cough\*
* Ugh. I’m totally sick.
* Argh! My back! I’m going to need an operation for sure this time.
* I hope my insurance covers this!
* I think I’ve broken my leg! Someone call me an ambulance!
* I’m hurt! I’m definitely going to need an ambulance… HELP!
* OUCH! I'm injured! Someone call me an ambulance!
* I’m healed! What a great hospital!

##### Crime

* My father didn't love me enough! I think I'll turn to a life of crime.
* I could KILL for a job offer right now.
* No job. No money. Stealing is the only answer left.
* Mugging, robbery, and stealing… this is what you've turned me to, Mayor.
* I'm so bored. I think I'll rob a bank to pass the time.
* I've had it! I'm robbing a bank!
* Mayor ~local\_player\_name~, I have your number. And picture. In your shrine. In my secret alcove.
* It's high time I take the law into my own hands… and by that, I mean break it.
* I'm mad as heck and I WON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
* I'm getting ANGRY!!!
* These criminals are streaming in over the borders from another city!
* Unemployed educated workers are leading to crimes like this.
* Maybe I wouldn't have been embezzled from if these educated workers had jobs.
* I coulda swore I saw that guy shoplifting just last week. Now he mugs me?
* Criminals don't become murderers overnight. Where are the police?
* I've been robbed!
* If someone doesn't get these kids off the street, they're going to turn into lifelong criminals!
* These kids need something better to do than steal from me.
* Wow, they said on the news that there are [Number of Criminals in Jail] criminals locked up at the Police Station!
* I heard that fire at the abandoned building wasn't an accident!
* These abandoned buildings aren't lighting themselves on fire!
* There are so many undesirables on the street. There was just a mugging!
* These criminals are growing more brazen. Somebody just got mugged!
* Purses aren't safe around here, tired of feeling so jumpy.
* Somebody just got mugged! Wasn't that the homeless guy that hangs out in the park?
* These homeless are becoming desperate, just taking what they want!
* Where are the police? People are murdering each other here!
* Senseless murders, how can the police let this happen?
* I need extra security to stay safe here, there's so many break-ins.
* We need more police to deal with these robberies!
* Shoplifter! Get him! get him!
* He's shoplifting! Swarm! Swarm!
* We need more cops!
* Where are the police?
* Criminals are taking over this town!
* The police force needs to be stronger.
* It's nice that the cops are keeping the undesirables off the streets.
* Good on those cops for lockin' up those criminals!
* Our Sims in blue are keeping the riff-raff off the streets!
* The police here are so awesome. I feel so safe!
* You have the right to remain silent! That means shut up!
* Get on the ground! Put your hands behind your back!
* How about a ride downtown for a night in the tank?
* Another crook off the streets.
* I'm so glad we have a police station now!
* Oh great, there goes our doughnut supply…
* They built a police station? How am I going to take over the world now?
* The police station is nice, but I would have preferred a pink paint job. Just my opinion.
* I hope those rookie cops know how to fire their tazers.
* Wow, what a high-tech police station! Can I go in and press all the buttons?
* I like our new Police Precinct!
* We are slowly turning into a police state…

##### Education

* I couldn’t get on a school bus. Oh well, I guess I just won’t go to school…
* That bus just passed me by, packed with other kids! We need more buses!
* Hey, it says here that school attendance is up to [Number] now. Pretty good!
* I’m so glad they finally built a Grade School!
* Now there’s a Grade School, students will go to school instead of committing crimes!
* I hope I pass the test in History class!
* I want to go to a University but I don’t want to have to travel across the region to do it. Hey, build one here!
* If we built a University, we’d be a major educational center. All the students would come here!
* Universities aren’t just big educational hubs; they also discover new things to build through research!
* We have so many smarty pants Sims in our city that a University would be a great fit.

##### Mass Transit

* People need to stop honking! We need mass transit!
* There’s so much traffic in this city! Maybe the mayor should invest in mass transit?
* This city’s snarled in traffic. Mayor, we want mass transit!
* There are more cars on the road than people. Let's just get some buses already!
* We have so many car-driving folk. Let's get some buses and convert the masses.
* So much needless driving. Let's get a bus and crush our cars to dust!
* Traffic is a nightmare. Let's get a proper bus system, eh?
* We are not a small town anymore, Mayor. We need a bus system.
* Alright! Now we can take the bus to get around town!
* With a working bus system, I can get across town without getting stuck in traffic.
* Driving in traffic is a nightmare. Thanks for the bus!
* Our bus system is fantastic so far! Good going, Mayor!
* I'm going to ride this bus every day!
* Ugh, the bus is way too crowded. I'm calling in sick to work today.
* Missed the bus again! They completely skipped us!
* Aw, man… the bus is full. Guess I'll have to walk.
* Mayor, you need more buses for gosh darn sakes. We're packed in here like sardines!
* I say, this coach is quite crowded.
* Rich people shouldn't have to deal with a crowded bus.
* I'm calling my lawyer. I'm going to sue you for harassment. This bus is way too crowded!
* Get ON the bus? I know it's crowded, Mayor, but I am getting IN the bus.
* Wouldn't it be nice if we had a ferry going across the water?
* Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. Build a ferry.
* We have to take advantage of the opportunity water brings our city, Mayor! Build a ferry system!
* When I was a young tyke we used to take the ferry all the time. Aye, such memories. Wish we had one here.
* I want a boat, please. Pretty please?
* Oh boy, now we can take a ferry ride! Yay!
* I can't wait to go on the ferry. What a cool thing for our city to have!
* This is ferry cool. Ha ha! What?
* There's nothing like being out on the water. We are lucky scamps!
* I got sea sick on the ferry, but it was worth it!
* This ferry is too popular. Too many dang people on it!
* I can't get on this thing. It's completely full!
* The ferry is great if you can get on it!
* They can't pack any more people on this boat!
* The boat is full? Shoot… guess I'll have to swim…
* Mayor, we can build rail in our town now!
* Streetcars are for little girly cities. Heavy Rail is what we need!
* If we build railroads, we can bring in more Global Market resources.
* I'd sell my two front teeth for a train station!
* I'm going to have to train you how to build a train. Ha ha! What?
* Heavy rail is the only way to go! I like to travel in comfort.
* I go 2 hours to work and back on the train every day! Everyone thinks I'm crazy!
* Choo-choo, Mayor. Good choice.
* I remember taking the train when I was young. Glad I can still do it!
* That train is so loud when it comes into the city!
* I can barely find a seat on that train! The mayor needs to build another train station!
* This is outrageous! There's so many people on this train!
* I'm going to have to sit on top if this keeps up!
* This train is so packed. Hope mayor ~local\_player\_name~ is planning on building another train station.
* Can I sit here? What about here? Here? Aw forget it, I'll walk.
* We desire some streetcars!
* Get us some streetcars, Mayor. Transportation would be easier and tourists love 'em!
* If we had a streetcar, we could get across the city much faster.
* You could even upgrade your avenues to have streetcar tracks in them. Cool, eh?
* Streetcars are easy to build and very effective.
* Hey! Now we've got a streetcar system, it'll be easier to get around!
* With streetcars, we can get from A to B so much easier now!
* We are so happy about the streetcars!
* The streetcars are so much fun to ride.
* Streetcars makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside.
* The streetcar is pretty crowded. Maybe they should add another garage?
* We sure are packing into this streetcar!
* I'm going to have to rail the mayor on how crowded this train is. Ha ha! What?
* We need more streetcar trains! Now, already!
* Eh, you'll fit. Everyone push!

##### Parks

* My kids have no place to play. We need a park!
* Mommy, can I go play on the swing?

##### Mining and Drilling

* Digging coal should be our goal!
* Hey, that’s not a rock, that’s coal! Why don’t we get a mine?
* This soil is rich with coal. We should dig!
* Long live ore! Long live coal! The essence and glory of all humankind!
* All this coal flowing out of the city means money flowing back in!
* Just think how awesome it’d be to smelt all that ore into metal!
* Let’s smelt some raw ore and make it metal!
* Raw ore is so unrefined. We should get a Smelting Factory!
* Can we get an Oil Well? There’s so much oil around here!
* I found crude oil! Woo-hoo! I’m rich!
* I was just digging up my backyard and a bunch of black icky stuff started pouring out.
* Do you know how oil gets turned into plastic? It’s actually not magical unicorns… just build an Oil Refinery.
* Gas prices are skyrocketing. Build an Oil Refinery so we can make our own fuel!
* If we refined oil into plastics, we could sell it on the Global Market.

##### Trading

* Did you know you can trade resources to and from the region?
* We can make more money by selling extra resources using the Trade Depot.
* We could play the Global Market if we buy a Trade Depot.
* Do you think we’d be able to get a Trade Headquarters?
* If only we had a Trade HQ. Think of how much better our lives would be!
* Our company would flourish if we could trade more stuff. Build a Trade HQ to help us!
* The Global Market is like a rollercoaster, Mayor. Build a Trade HG to get on track!
* Forget roads. A HeavyLift VTOL Pad on the Trade Port would let us ship goods through the sky! The very sky!
* Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a VTOL!

##### Tourism

* I’m going home with empty pockets, but I had a great time!
* Well, I spent all my money, but I had a blast!
* I wish I could stay, but there aren’t any hotels.
* Not a single hotel for me to stay at. Guess I’ll go home.
* I wish there were more attractions in this town. Guess I’ll go home.
* This town’s kinda boring. Guess I’ll just spend my money back home.

##### Worship

* Our mayor is clearly in touch with their spiritual side!
* Perfect! I was just wanting a place to quietly congregate!
* With the new House of Worship, I finally have a place to tithe. Where else would I tithe?

##### Gambling

* A Casino?! Awesome!
* Bring me more nickels! I gotta have more!
* I’m going to get my gambling shoes ready!
* Lucky hat. Lucky shirt. There’s no way I’ll lose!
* Ready for some casino action! Bring it on!
* Big buildings are cool. Build the Casino HQ!
* I’m tired of working out of The Fluxor’s basement… build a headquarters!
* If we want more casino types, we need a headquarters to properly design them!
* Let’s use our vast gambling riches to fund an HQ for ourselves, no?
* We should build a headquarters for our casino empire!
* I can be a professional gambler now!

##### Futurization

* I love these new futuristic buildings!
* Now THIS is a high-tech city!
* Hey, it seems like most of [City Name] is high tech!
* Oh dear, hopefully our new high tech home style doesn’t catch on with the masses.
* Our business has all the modern tech to support our customers.

##### MegaTowers

* I’m so sick of sunlight. Can’t we just live in one giant building… some sort of mega-sized tower?
* The city can’t just keep spreading out indefinitely. Let’s build up. We need a MegaTower!
* There’s too much open space in this city. I want to live in a massive MegaTower!
* The MegaTower makes our city a global leader in modern city design!
* We’ve got so many neighbors in this futuristic skyscraper!
* I hope they don’t expect me to go work at an Academy. I don’t work. I shop.
* I hope this neo condo allows dogs. At least robotic dogs.
* I’ve got 99 problems and one of them is garbage. We need a waste reduction level!
* It’s a waste that we don’t have a waste reduction level. Heh. Aww…
* We need to create education better! Let’s get an education level!

##### The Academy/ControlNet

* I bet other cities are researching new technologies at an Academy. We need one!
* This city is so low tech. We need the Academy to research new technologies!
* We need a guiding technological hand. We need the Academy!
* I think the Academy is listening to my phone calls… but hey, high tech!
* Imagine the good we could do with even more green power. We need a power amplifier!
* Let’s get a power amplifier and run this city on clean, green power!
* The Academy could research power amplifiers for us. We should get one to pump out more clean energy!
* We should get a power amplifier to pump out more clean energy! I bet the Academy could research it!
* Seems like a shame to dump all this sewage in the yard, when the Academy could research a Sewage Sanitizer for us.
* If we’re not busy researching, I’m just going to check on my fantasy quiz bowl team…
* Why can’t I go home, if we’re not going to research anything?
* We’re not transmitting enough ControlNet for all our tech to function!

##### OmegaCo/Drones

* I hear good things about this ‘Omega’ stuff. I don’t know what it is, but we need it!
* OmegaCo is supposed to be ridiculously profitable. Now THAT’s where I should be working!
* We should get an OmegaCo Factory. It practically prints money!
* Ha ha! The tabloids said Omega comes from outer space! Yeah, right.
* The OmegaCo company is really moving up in the world.
* Would you look at that OmegaCo tower?! I’m sure glad I have stock in this company.
* OmegaCo is our new leader! All hail!
* We were bought by OmegaCo. It’s okay, they gave us free Omega.
* I haven’t seen the Omega truck in ages!
* Omega is running dry! Our business has become dependent on it.
* We can’t keep up demand for Omega products! Ship us more!
* I’m tired of talking to people. OmegaCo should make some drones.
* Can’t we just sell to robots? OmegaCo, why don’t you make some BuyDrones?
* I hear OmegaCo was considering a Robotics Division, so people could use drones to shop!
* If the mayor gets us FireDrones, then I don’t have to worry about my kids playing with matches.
* If we got LawDrones, the police could focus on real crimes, like kids downloading music!
* I sure would feel safer if I knew there were experimental medical robots flying through the air with medicine!
* This city would be safer with MediDrones. Ambulances can get stuck in traffic!

#### Tips

* Follow road guides to maximize your city's density.
* Start with cheaper streets, then use the Road Selector tool to upgrade as traffic increases.
* Medium Density Avenues make a good region connection because they can be upgraded later.
* Power plant not generating enough power? Add a module before plopping another power plant.
* Leave room around your Town Hall for the inevitable upgrade to City Hall.
* A Trade Depot or Port is the only way to sell resources your city produces on the Global Market.
* Many of the City Specialization buildings provide a place for local industry to ship freight.
* If tourists don't spend all their Simoleons in one day, they'll stay at nearby hotels.
* If you’re going to plop a high-wealth casino, make sure that you can attract high-wealth tourists!
* Gambling and crime go hand in hand. Be ready for a spike in crime if you add a casino to your city.
* A smooth supply chain is key if you want to top the Electronics leaderboards.
* Dirt roads are useful for remote buildings that don't require many workers, like Water Towers.
* Wind Turbines are connected to Wind Power Plants by service roads. Those roads can go up steep hills.
* Reclaimed metal, plastic or alloy from a Recycling Center can be used for Electronics manufacturing or sent to a great works project.
* Hold Shift while drawing roads in arc mode to draw 90-degree arcs.
* Hold Ctrl while using the Bulldoze tool to bulldoze contiguous blocks at a time.
* Hold Ctrl while zoning to zone entire blocks at a time.
* Hold Command while using the Bulldoze tool to bulldoze contiguous blocks at a time.
* Hold Command while zoning to zone entire blocks at a time.
* Use Esc to cancel using any tool, even while drawing roads or bulldozing.
* Abandoned buildings are a fire risk. There's a higher chance of fires in abandoned neighborhoods.
* Hold Shift while drawing roads in curved mode to draw straight roads.
* Educated Sims are less likely to accidentally start a fire or to get sick from germs.
* Your city's homeless will congregate in parks, taking up valuable space.
* Sims get happy by spending money. If there are no shops, they can visit parks to become happy.
* If you extract all the coal from your city, it may be time to start another city or re-specialize.
* Neighbors strapped for cash? Send them a gift!
* Send trucks with resources directly to neighboring cities to help with their industry!
* Buildings need workers to operate! Make sure your city has enough workers when you plop a new building.
* With the “Guides” checkbox checked, road guides are shown for the last two roads moused over.
* Zoning residential down-wind from pollution sources will make your Sims sick.
* Buses help solve traffic problems within the city by reducing the number of cars on the road.
* If you want wealthy Sims, you’re going to need parks.
* Ambulances pick up injured Sims. Sick Sims need to be able to get to a hospital themselves.
* Buildings provide your city with jobs. They will need workers before they can function.
* Need cash fast? Pass a bond measure from the Budget panel.
