SimCity 4/Tutorials

A quick tutorial guide with some basic concepts.

Zoning
Pause the game first(optional). Zone only low residential, commercial and agriculture.

Notes:

1.There is a limit to how large you can zone. If you want bigger zones, Suggest that after that big zone,do the same beside it. 2.Some buildings need time and demand before getting the building.

Once a while,you may upgrade your zones.Take note that the buildings still be hanging around until rebuild takes over.

Utilities:Power
Try putting out a lot of a wind power plants for a clean city.If you want more power on a few plants,try putting in some parks until you get a solar power plant,nuclear power plant or hydrogen power plant.

To avoid getting the horrible message from the utilities adviser,try putting in more plants.

Utilities:Water
To those who zone farms,put in water treatment plants to reduce water pollution.(Since everyone doesn't like to drink brown water that tastes like chocolate,kiwi,strawberry and mango combined.)

Utilities:Garbage/Sanitation
Garbage centers only put out 10% of the trash so put in a landfill far away from the center.

Civic:Police and fire departments
Avoid plopping in a jail until your population is at least 50,000.

Putting stations in the right places will make your city smile

Civic:Education systems
Put in all 3 schools so you don't have to happen no adults educated.

Libraries and museums educate older people(And it does!)

Civic:Health
Put in clinics and hospitals together to have a healthy city

Civic:Landmarks
Unless you are copying a name from a real life city from the landmarks,put in a combination of landmarks together to boost the mayor rating a little.

Civic:Rewards
City size means population

Did you know that casinos are good when you put in the radical ordinance mod V.02 at simtropolis?

Transportation:Roads and streets
Places with high congestion,upgrade them to roads.IF IT'S roads,try another way to getting to the location.

Transportation:Highways
Highways have a capacity to a 1,000 cars.

When putting a road under a highway,a window pops up saying that you accept to build an overpass.

Same as above for putting highways above each other asking you to build a clover highway intersection.

Transportation:Trains
If a rail happens to be in the industrial zones,you don't need the pick up since the buildings can do it also.

Transportations:Subways
It's optional to use subways.

Subways have a higher capacity than trains.

Transportation:Airports
If the airports efficiency degrades, Jemil Herds will ask you to upgrade them to medium then upgrade to large.
