All Platforms - Tricks
----------------------
The following tricks will work with all known versions of SimCity 4. To ensure that these
tricks work correctly, make sure that you follow each step exactly as it is written.
SimPage.net does not provide support on any tricks listed here.
Return to God Mode After you enter the Mayor Mode and name yourself and your city, the game
will no longer allow you access to the extensive terrain editing tools that are available in
God Mode, unless you first select to obliterate your city. It doesn't have to be this way.
To get back into God Mode without blowing everything up, simply hold down CTRL, SHIFT, and
ALT. Then click on the God Mode button in the interface.
Warning! Use caution when applying God mode tools on your existing city. Some of these tools,
such as Smooth Terrain will instantly obliterate your city just by clicking the button. Those
that don't cause instantaneous changes may also still damage the city severely, as there is
far less consideration in this mode for the preservation of the surrounding structures.
Animation Recorder Have you ever wanted to show off your city in a cool video file? Now you
can, using the built in "recorder" feature in SimCity 4:
Open the cheat box by pressing CTRL+X and enter the code "recorder" Upon entering the code,
the following applet will appear:
Simply enter the Name you would like to call the animation, the Rate in milliseconds between
frames, the Time in seconds to record for, and select which type of Output format, you want
to use. Click the Start button to begin recording. While recording feel free to move around
your city, or even build things. Anything that happens inside the box will be recorded.
After recording finishes, the recorder will ask if you want to save the images. If you select
Yes, it will place them in My Documents\SimCity 4\RecordedAnimations under the name
animation_name ###_###, where ###_### identifies the order of the images in the sequence.
Click the Close button to close the recorder.
Use a program like Jasc Animation Shop to create a .AVI file from the images.
You can change the area of the screen that is to be recorded, by dragging around the outline
box that appears on the screen while the recorder is open. You can also drag the edges of
the box to change the size of the recording space.
Cheat:
------
Hold [Ctrl]+x and type in the box -moneyeo.This cheat will add $5,000,000 to your Treasury.
All God Options when you are a Mayor:
-------------------------------------
When you are in the Mayor mode, you can't use all of the God Options. If you want to use them,
Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift at the same time, when still holding, click with your left mouse button
on "God Options" And you will have them all.
Faster money:
-------------
Type "weaknesspays" but before you press enter press and hold shift witch will keep the cheat
box open after pressing enter then press the up arrow on your keyboard witch will bring up
the previous code(weaknesspays) a repeat to hearts desire.
How to get a money tree:
------------------------
type in sim city exchange go to the 1 that says this Lot & Building Exchange - SimCity.net
go to the bottom of the page and there should be a key word search type in money tree and a
money tree should pop up on ur web page click down load (its only 38k)the money tree will
be in plugin in your simcity4 file play simcity and go to the parks undernieth rewards it
should say green park or something and it will cost 1000 simelions the money will come up
as 4,375,285,858 or something like that but there will be a minus at the start so thats
how much you get a month 4,375,285,858 :-) happy being the richest mayor in the world.
Cheat:
------
In sim city4 push [Ctrl] x and type you "don't deserve it" and [back space] t and then put
t back it works.
Cheat:
------
Do [Ctrl] + x to get the cheat screen, then type in "riskymoney" then press "Enter". Every
time you type this in it will give you 10,000 simoleons. Be careful when you press enter,
there will be an earthquake, so do this cheat before you actually start the city.
Don't have a heart: Raise taxes:
--------------------------------
Taxes can be a helpful tool in a lot of ways. You can lower them to attract a certain type
of development, or raise them to do the opposite, and you get the reward in reaping in the
benefits. At the start of many of my cities, I raise all my taxes to 8%. This usually gives
me enough revenue in a couple years for a full educational system and fire/police protection.
And sims don't usually complain at 8 or even 9 percent. As long as they feel they're getting
what they paid for.
Save water systems for later:
-----------------------------
Since water systems cost a lots to build and maintain, don't use them at the beginning. Sims
can live without water, since they can have their own wells
