Hydroelectric power without a waterfall: ---------------------------------------- Note: This can only be done using the SimCity Urban Renewal Kit, which works with SimCity 2000. In SimCity Urban Renewal Kit, you can build a hydroelectric power plant on any pond, lake, or river tile and not just a waterfall. This is useful for saving space, because it allows for water pumps to be built completely surrounded by water (for maximum output) and a power source at the same time. Save your city in SimCity Urban Renewal Kit, then go back to playing in regular SimCity 2000. Superhero: ---------- If you decline to build a military base in your city, you may be assisted by Maxis Man in a disaster. He will fly around and attempt to stop the disaster. Nessie: ------- Occasionally a sailboat from the marina will be attacked by the Loch Ness monster. SimCity Two Cows: ----------------- In some versions of SimCity 2000, there is a different picture than the Pirate Squid Club picture when the word joke is entered during game play. Cave: ----- In "Edit New Map" mode, make a hill. Next, make a waterfall tile where you want the "cave" to be. Raise the water level until the waterfall is covered. Lower the water level back to normal. The result will be a single tile in the side of the mountain that is flat. 1X1 tile buildings and zones can be placed here. Floating mountain: ------------------ Using the "Cave" trick, one can make a "floating mountain" by making every sloped tile on the hill or mountain into a cave. Zones and buildings can be placed here, but the result of building a road or power line onto the floating mountain will look odd. Swamp or trees on water: ------------------------ Make a small pond, lake, or river. Lower the water or sea level, then raise it back up to normal. You can now place trees on those water tiles. It works just the same if you raise the water level as long as you do not cover up the pond, lake, or river water tiles. Space launch: ------------- Accumulate a large amount of money and keep adding Launch Arcos to the map. Keep filling the map with them until see them launch into space. A message stating that you will be compensated for the Launch Arcos will be displayed. Note: This can be done in both the DOS v1.1 and Windows v1.0 versions of the game. To see the launch Arcos fly off into outer space, choose to the "Load city" option in the file menu. Open the "349arco" file. Set the speed to "African Swallow" and wait. You will receive as much money as the Arcos were worth. Easy Money without Cheating: ---------------------------- Make sure your population is over 300,000, then build 100 churches in your city.
