Date: 19 May 1995 04:03:00 GMT Organization: University of Tasmania Message-ID: Here are the codes you've all been whinging for... Type in C-A-S-S to get a small amount of money, but beware, for if you type it in too often you will get a fire storm (Hint: Just stick with the Double F-U-N-D code!). Type in P-O-R-N to hear a guy say "I can't get enough!" Type in V-E-R-S to see what version of SC 2000 you own. Type in M-E-M-Y to see how much free memory you have. Type in D-A-M-N, D-A-R-N, H-E-L-L, or H-E-C-K and all you residential zones will form into churches (Don't do this cheat, for there is no way reverse the process). To get 500,000 and all the rewards Click on the toolbar like you were going to move it and then type B-U-D-D-A-M-U-S. If you have a MAC, just type in PORNTIPSGUZZARDO and you will become 500,000 dollars richer! Do it as much as you wish. Here are some cheats: This works early in your city. When industrial, comercial, or residencial drops to zero or into the negative, save your city. Then reopen the city from FILE. After one month passes BANG, your demand shoots up. If that's not enough for you, do it again and BANG, all three get another shot in the arm. PHANTOM WATER PUMP TRICK Here is a way to fool SimCity 2000 into thinking you always have a water surplus and make those water shortage messages go away. Before you add any water pumps to your city, do the following: 1. Pick an area on the outskirts of your city and de-zone a 3x3 grid 2. Place a single water pump in the center of this grid 3. Connect the water pump to power 4. DO NOT connect any pipes to this pump Now go back to building your city. Pretty soon you will see the water shortage messages go away and if you open your graph window and select water, you will see that the line has shot up to maximum capacity. E-Mail me if you have any questions or comments! MAGIC ERASER One of the undocumented features of Sim City 2000 is the ability to "erase" a structure that you have built and then be able to re-use that land space while still retaining the population values from the original structure. I have been able to use this technique to "erase" 140 Launch Arcos and rebuild over the reclaimed land space. When to use the query tool, the sim still tells you it "sees" an arco. Here's how you do it: 1. Make a backup copy of your city in case you mess up 2. Click on the water/tree icon 3. Select trees 4. Hold down the shift key and the left mouse button 5. Slowly drag the mouse cursor over the tiles you want to erase while continuing to hold down the shift key and depressing the mouse button. You will see your structures "disappear". 6. Make frequent use of the rotate view tool to make sure you only erase the tiles you have selected 7. If you release the shift key or mouse button by mistake, go back to step 2 and start over. To do this code you need a Binary File Disk Editor like Norton's Disk Editor. Open Up Your City File From Here and Go To The String Of 4 Hexidecimals that looks like this: 00 02 4E 20 Change The 00 to a 7F which will give you $2,139,029,504.00 to your city's funds. And don't worry ... it's not illegal !!! debugger menu--type "oigevald" -- Julius Roberts Computer-Science, University of Tasmania, Australia E-Mail: julius_r@postoffice.sandybay.utas.edu.au
