Start a new city, enable the you don't deserve it code, then immediately place the Federal Prison, Army Base, Toxic Waste Dump and Missile Range anywhere (and nothing else). Click the "Speed Up Time" arrow and allow the game to idle for five minutes. When you return, you will have been paid big money over the years with no expenses.

Place an open area grass park in your city and you will be paid handsomely. The amount is usually in the 2 billion Simoleon range. This is the first park on the menu.
A. Davis.

If your city's trash is under perfect control, save the game and exit to the region. Build four cities around it and put a neighbor connection from each city to yours. Enable the the you don't deserve it code and place the Federal Prison, Casino, Missile Range, Toxic Waste Dump , Army Base, and give the city about $500,000. Put anything to do with garbage in, but nothing to get rid of it, and send it to your city. If done correctly, your city will have about $100 million if you let it idle for twenty minutes.

Hint: Double rewards:
Enable the you don't deserve it code, and write down requirements for reward (hold the pointer over the picture.) Place that reward. Then, do the requirements for it. Neil Fairbanks will ask your permission to build the reward a second time in your city.

Hint: Easy money:
Your first goal is to generate profit. After naming your city and mayor, activate the "Legalized Gambling" ordinance to get an extra $100 per month. However there will be a 20% corresponding increase in crime. However because your city is small this will be easy to deal with. Also, raise all taxes to 7.5% to 8.0%. You may want to lower them later, but people will flock to your starting town even with the raised taxes.

Taxes can be a helpful tool. You can lower them to attract a certain type of development, or raise them to do the opposite and get the reward in reaping the benefits. At the start of your cities, try raising all the taxes to 8%. This usually results in enough revenue after a few years for a full educational system and fire/police protection. Your Sims do not usually complain at 8% or 9%, as long as they feel they are getting what they paid for.

Hint: Extra reward building:
Open up the "News" window and Reward Buildings Toolbar. Build the reward building that you have chosen by clicking on it in the Rewards Building Toolbar. Once built, open up the news item concerning the chosen building. Click "Accept" and you will now be able to build another awards building. Note: This does not work on the Casino, Military Base, Missile Silo, Federal Prison or Toxic Waste Dump.

Hint: Unlimited rewards:
Enable the you don't deserve it code, then completely quit the game. The next time you play, enable that code again. You can do this as many times as desired.

Hint: Water systems:
Because water systems cost a lot to build and maintain, do not use them at the beginning. Sims can live without water because they can have their own wells. Note: High wealth Sims will not live or work without city water. If you start a water system, begin in the industrial areas where they are needed most.

Hint: Brainwashing:
On the adviser screen, click the query box, then click the "X" on the bad or good messages.
Eric Law.

Hint: Abort Obliteration:
If the "Obliterate City" button under "God Mode" was accidentally clicked, anytime before the game screen starts flashing white, press [Esc]. The game will stop the obliteration sequence.

Hint: Extreme God mode tools:
When in God mode, select a tool and hold [Shift] while using it. The tool will be magnified as if it were on the next higher magnification, however on the highest the game normally allows it goes to extremes.

Hint: Save money on traffic:
Building highways is a heavy hitter on your budget, and noisy as well. If you place two roads side by side and connect every segment with streets (roads have stoplights), then you should be able to get traffic moving just as fast as on highways, but much cheaper and quieter.

Hint: Zombies:
You can get zombies by putting a graveyard by a toxic waste dump. Wait a few seconds, then zoom in. Green zombies will be walking around the graveyard.

Hint: Command And Conquer reference:
If you get High-Tech Industries within your town, you may find a small Bio-tech firm called "Kane Tiberium". Kane is the name of the Brotherhood of Nod Leader, and Tiberium is the resource that you buy things with.
Locke Carnelia.

Hint: The Sims reference:
If you are losing money badly, and are under the easy or normal difficulty setting, you will receive financial advice from the financial advisor. She will mention "I cannot summon gnomes to give you an endless supply of money." This sentence is referring to a trick in The Sims where you can sell the gnomes you build for an endless amount of money.
buhrmans.

When you choose the "Giant Robot Attack" disaster, you will see that other than its eye, it is virtually the same as the robot servant from The Sims "Servo".
andy lawson.

Hint: SimCity 2000 reference:
After you have the ice cream truck, take a free drive in it. Press [Space] to turn on the music and you should hear the SimCity 2000. If not, press [Space] repeatedly until you hear it.

Glitch: Money from Neighbor Deals:
When you make a city, connect it to at least two cities; one with water or some other major resource and another that needs it (water works best). Do not have that resource in your city or the glitch will not work (for example, water pump, power plant, etc.). Make the connection to these two cities using your city and go to "Neighbor Deals". Under the deals, select the resource to buy, then the other city to sell to. Then, cancel the buy, but not the sale. Follow this exactly. Select the pull down menu and reselect the resource you are selling to the other city. If done correctly, the dollar amount should significantly increase. You can now reselect the resource to buy. After a few months, the game will reset the dollar amount but you can do glitch again. When using water, it is possible to get all the way to 1,000,000,000 Simoleons. Note: If you play the other cities, make sure you check on the Neighbor Deals. You do not want to bankrupt the cities. [Screenshot]
