Too much work. I just remove some in the more fussy areas and end up build water and water pumps there instead.

I made this during the lockdowns. I got really good at this game over the past two decades and somehow, despite making many play thrus, this one caught on. I didn't remember destroying it, but that's what I usually do at the end, because what else is there to do? Many others in the comments said they copied my strategies and they got astronomical land values and skyscrapers. A lot of people also ask about the farms. If you start in 1900, you won't always get a farm, but they passing the right ordinances and only building on the edge of the map, you'll get them. You can sometimes temporarily build them away from the edge, but you will eventually have factories on them and the smog will destroy the whole farm district.

@Scott89878 thank you for your advise. I'll be sure to follow your strategies. I'd love to see another city of yours in the future.

Maybe I should, I made this video long before I got the book released.

I know, but I don't play with disasters, it's just too random and often times, it wastes time with constant whirlpools and locusts attacking all the time.

@@Scott89878 Yeah, I don't like disasters either. I was just throwing that tip out for people that do.

Sims don't use bus stops in industrial, nor subway stations. Only a train station will work in those zones.

@@Scott89878 OK.

I build a lot because sometimes I don't immediately see that the garbage situation is going south. And landfills work up to 5 tiles from a road.

My cities don't really have traffic problems, so I think those T-highways work. I have built like 50 cities like the one I did in my video many times.

@@Scott89878 I haven't done any tests on it so I can't say for sure.

So, you probably lived there when I did, and possibly crossed paths with me.

I read a lot long time ago that trees and surface water, reduce pollution. Thus, as you see, it's my strategy.

100% agreed. There is a certain beauty to the design of this game, I'd love to see it remastered with some slight UI and scaling optimizations.

@@CaptainBango HERE HERE!

Perhaps it's because Will Wright was on this project and not involved in SC4 (sc4 still great tho )

Eh, I just deleted one rich person's house and made his yard, my yard.

@@Scott89878 Yeah they'll live XD

Are you talking about the farms getting eaten by pollution? I started my city in 2000 and immediately enacted certain ordinances to reduce pollution and farm's market, so that there is less of a random factor to the farms. Then you gotta have good transportation, or traffic pollution will eat the farms up.

@@Scott89878 No sorry should have clarified was talking about polluting light industry. Finally managed to get some farms and put trees and water in between but still the polluting industry was trying to take over so just made most historical lol. Yeah I guess it's easier in the beginning when you immediately enact those ordinances instead of later with a 500k pop and heavy industry everywhere which the benefit of having a farm by that point is negligible. But your video helped so appreciate it!

What I like about the maps I use, is that it's like a real city, which are almost never just on flat land, there's usually a beach or river or both. And as such, building a seaport on my map, instantly gives me access to all four neighbors, which gets me the trash deal faster and I think it counts as four connections and boosts industrial demand. Industries want to strategically be located in a city that has a workforce and has connections.

@@Scott89878 wow all these years I always thought that 4th neighbour was inaccessible! I only ever got deals from 3 cities, and that’s probably because I’ve never built a seaport with water connecting all four sides. I’m definitely going to try that now!

The Shuttle Service Ordinance allows sims to travel further. The transportation advisor can explain how it works.

You can actually get up to 5 tiles with high enough land value with mass transit (not direct train access) and like other poster said Shuttle Service Ordinance. Someone said their industrial got up to 7!

There are certain points where the demand on the RCI will stop and you have build certain things to raise the cap. Residential demand goes up if you build parks and recreation. People want to live in a city that is fun. Industrial demand goes up if you have rails in the city that connect with other cities and if you have seaports. It's ideal to build a factory in a location that has a workforce and has the infrastructure to ship the goods easily. Commercial demand is increased via highway connections to neighbors and airports. More people will travel into your city and shop it if people can get to it. Imagine if Vegas didn't have an airport? And residential must equal industrial + commercial, because residents work at these zones. Early in the campaign, I get the gigamall, which tanks commercial demand, the maximum security prison which tanks residential demand, and the toxic waste facility, which tanks industrial demand. But then you make so much money, you are free to build seaports, rails, parks, airports, connections, etc, so you can overcome that. Certain buildings raise the caps, like the defense contractor and the medical research lab greatly increase commercial demand. I think the science research center does too. The military base increases industrial demand, I think. Around the time the residents want a stadium, residential demand will get stuck until you build one. Near the time of your Space Port, the demand of everything will get stuck and you have to build good to get to the Space Port, which, once you build, increases the cap on everything.

Somebody online a long time ago, showed the best layout for the layouts that I ended up using in the dense residential and commercial areas. I think it gives the buses and subway stations good reach and puts in the optimal number of parks. From there, I created a lot of my own strategies out of it.

I found Ctrl S works

I played the SNES Sim City first back in like 1995. I never mastered that one though. I don't even think it had the depth that 3000 has.

Same I haven't been able to implement rail/highway systems in any simcity games and always end up with traffic problems. Usually by the time I get to "late game" it would be too much of a bother to build them in

lol, why, I already showed basically everything I know.

Who is this person calling my name on my Sim City videos?

My name isnt Scott

I haven't really found a good way to exploit elevation to it's advantage. At the end of the game, everything is astronomical land value anyways in the dense center, which is partially why I haven't bothered that much with it.

I never knew elevation increased land value. But it did make it harder to fill the land.

Sometimes the pollution changes them. If the nearby road gets too much traffic, it'll pollute the farms. And you have act fast because light industry is like a disease that spreads to all the nearby farms. You also need to start in 2000 and have the right ordinances, like I always set up clean air and industry pollutant fee right away, which you can't do in a 1900 city. Some areas, the farms just have to be taken out, and usually I convert them into a water pump area.

@@Scott89878 It should be the traffic problem. I set up my cities like you did in the part 1. In order to fight the traffic problem I have to mark the carpool stuff and others ordinances like this, right?

I do later on in the series. The better ones don't have to be built next to the dump, while the cheap one has to be built next to the dump to function. So I opt to build the cheap ones next to the dump and when I run out of space in that area dedicated to garbage, I build the energy incinerators in another part of town, usually near an airport or spaceport, because it's aesthetically pleasing in that zone.

@@Scott89878 The incinerators don't have to be next to a landfill. They will function without ANY landfill at all.
