Simcity 3000

Does anybody still have SimCity 3000, The city that I started from scratch is -90,000 in debt rounded off and seems to be getting deeper, Is there a way to gain more money. Those loans never seem to help.

Haven't played that in a long time.
"gain more money. Those loans never seem to help"
strange that

Raise your taxes and reduce public works expenditure but only for a short period at a time (3-6 months with similar gaps before doing it again) or you'll lose all your population and keep spiralling down into more debt (no population = no tax revenue).

Well I'll keep trying... Thanks!

I didn't play this for a couple years either, to much to do on the internet. Lately got back into it.

The SeaPort & Garbage Deal doesn't do much either.

That drove me mad, -$111,000 in debt and kicked out as Mayor.

Has SimCity improved any since 3000?

I heard I could upload my city that I actully use to live in. Someone on the net said they were re-building the city.

I wish they would give some "REAL-LIFE" options for making doe.

The mayor in the city I use to live in, own's a bunch businesses, I'm sure he puts a % of his business profits into the city as well.

I think there's some feature of SimCity 4 where you can import your characters from The Sims, but don't quote me on it.

yes Sim City 4 allows importing sims

ive played sim city 2k, 3k, 4
Sim city 4 is the hardest
sim city 3k
start off small and build your town
keep roads in some order make em in like 4x4, 5x5 or 6x6 blocks
or go in rows of 4, 5, 6 and have roads connecting each row every now and then

oh and have services every 10-15 block radius
services as in police, fire dept, school, llibraries
probably have high schools at a 20-30 block radius and college at an even further distance, probably should check to see the coverage for that building, if you can in sim city 3k
obviously you dont need a school in an industrial or commecial area
