Sim City 3K
-
anyone a master at this old game? I don't know anyone who can play this game and earn money, except me, which i think is strange since is not that hard. Any pros!?
-
yea. nice game
i can make money too. initally mostly from neighbour deals and taxes. i built nuclear to sell power initally, take in garbage and sells water.
and later on when city grow, u collect more taxes and become less dependent on neighbour deals, can sell away the nuclear, build microwave and solar those clean ones; and sell away garbage to improve cleanilness and overall citizen auras. then build universtiy to attract high tech clean industry bulldoze those heavy and dirty ones..blah blah blah -
wah u basically summed it all up lol
have u tried playing from 1900s onwards? quite interesting
and i always hate that i build my city halfway liao, den after that no space for highway mus destroy some parts
-
i play from 1990 onwards. i nid nuclear 1st otherwise cant maintain a black book.
oh yea.
try elimate roads and build subways. the air MUCH cleaner and citizen auras can be improve alot which means more ppl wan to move in and more taxes.
its expensive though high inital cost and maintance cost -
since when u play this game to earn $$$ de?
go open cheat console, type "i am weak". all constructions costs waived, $0..... demolishing still costs $5....
go find out the complete list.... i dun spend time balancing my sheets at the start, i just build, after the city is built up then i adjust tax.... -
the whole aim of the game is to make as much profit as possibe. while maintaing a huge city. which wont be possible if ur sims are not happy. which happiness comes with a cost well. depends on your balancing
-
it takes ages for a city to developed into a high rise density building. no matter what kind of cheat you use like free construction or wad... you still have to built the city slowly and properly to ensure it would become a thriving metropolis...

yeah. but i've done it many times on the large map. if u build too fast, ur expenses (like road maintenance) can kill u.Originally posted by mhcampboy:it takes ages for a city to developed into a high rise density building. no matter what kind of cheat you use like free construction or wad... you still have to built the city slowly and properly to ensure it would become a thriving metropolis...

so sian... i never play liao...
how do you make the zones into high rise buildings? at most i could have was those middle rise buidlings... that one also only a few... -
use cheat really not fun leh....
campy u sure u talkin about 3k? coz 3k can just select high density and zone it...dun have wat upgrade from medium to high density.
its a pity i reformat my com, or else i haolian my screenshots here!!! much more beautiful den singapore -
put high density zone, and make sure got enough space. i make a 10x10 space inside, then maybe add a slip road somewhere inside on the 4th or 7th grid. high-rise buildings usually need 2x3 or 3x3 grids to grow.Originally posted by mhcampboy:yar... patience is not my forte. so i always built this... zone that... pipe this... etc etc... when my city starts to grow.... slowly am losing money. and there is no cheats that can increase ur money...unless trainer... or uncle vinny...

i used to try different designs, even with one where the tunnels are built nicely and linked from one end of the city to another end. everything else is elevated and flattened so the soil is dark green de.
and i always put all the utilities together, and all the incinerators and recycling centres at one corner there.
my biggest problem is traffic... subways+highways, it's still not enough.

ever tried replicating ur singapore street directory? i once tried to create clementi

those ultra high towers are dense commercial zones, its so chio dats why is worth the waiting time
it will take a very long time to reach that stage right.. sense of satisfaction -
exactly!! i can only see screenshots of it from the net... or the box cover..Originally posted by Kawazoe:those ultra high towers are dense commercial zones, its so chio dats why is worth the waiting time sense of satisfaction
how long would it take..? -
no. u can get tat easily. start in 2000.Originally posted by mhcampboy:oh sorry..wad i meant was... the high rise buidlings... the skyscrapers...

try zoning it along waterbodies, like a river, or ownself make a pond. it increases land value. and make sure it's not a crime haven. once ur land value is high, u'll get 'em easily.
dense commercial, essential stuffs are dense roads, subways and police stations. and of cos dun zone it near utilities area (garbage, power etc). water pumping stations seem alright, and i can one stone kill two birds. stick in some libraries or museums as well. can build city park. using the all buildings hack, try putting science centres and universities there. landmarks help too.
medium and light can be put along thin strips inside residential areas.
the hardest will be putting colourful tech companies inside light industrial zones, cos they could easily become smoke-belching barns and warehouses.
and i always build all the 4 special income facilities (casino, prison, super incineator and one more). put the prison, jails and incinerators in one area of forest at one corner with only expressways passing by. settle. -
hmmm.. thanks.. but now i got to find the cd..and install again... guess i just make do with the rct 3 for now..Originally posted by ^tamago^:no. start in 2000.

Try Sim City4. Im sure you all will like it. I personally prefer SimCity4 more than SimCity 3000, a lot of improvements.
Making money is no problem, just start small, dont overspend, and money will come. -
my computer not fast enough...........
