Sim City 2002 Strategy/Tips
---------------------------
before reading this part: if you read this part then this will be like 
cheating. so first you have to deal with the game by your self.
if you are an expert or you are despeart then you can read this part.

Starting good city
------------------
*first build power plant(remember this can only power up to 15000 of your
city size), without it, the sims could build a thing.
(watch out your power size)
*build also water plant to increase landvalue
(watch out your water size)
*start zoning, you see commerical isn't in demand yet so start zoning only
residential and industrial zones acorrding to sims demand to each zone
as your city gets bigger, the demand for commerical increases
*Low Crime/Pollution/Traffic/City Needs.
*Increase Health/Education/Land Value/Aura

How to keep low crime?
----------------------
Crime is a bad thing which lower safty of your sims and aura&land value
drops down fast.
to keep crime at low level you need to:
*Build police stations according to sims demand
or keep Crime size at [None]
*Pass in your ordinance "Locate Guards" and "Policeman Daily Training"
*build schools to educate students not to do crimes and become an good man
remember smart people get their job they want so money doesn't become real
problem

How to keep low traffic?
------------------------
Traffic created most of it from cars of your city. as traffic gets bigger
pollution get higher that means all good staff such as land value, aura decrease
to keep traffic at low level you need to:
*Build more roads as you can
*Build mass transit- such as subways, bus stops etc.
*Pass in your ordinance "Mass Transit High Usage" and "Fine Parks"
*Repeal in your ordinance "Road Safty"

How to keep low pollution?
--------------------------
Now that's a problam. most of it comes from your industry and some of it
from your cars. pollution is not controlled well as traffic and crime
but you can still lower it. pollution maybe that highest cause of decrease
land value, aura, health.
to keep pollution at low level you need to:
*Lower traffic
*Lower Garbage amount
*Build Parks
*Pass in your ordinance "Clean air" and "High-Tech Develop"
*As year reach up to 2040 and so on, your pollution level drops
because until than your industry develop cleaner high-tech industry
*Zone more commerical and residential zones

How to lower city needs?
------------------------ 
City needs is sims demands and requests. lower city needs means good successful
city with very high aura
to lower city needs you need to do only good things such as:
Low Crime/Pollution/Traffic
High LandValue/Aura/Health/Education

How to increase LandValue?
--------------------------
Landvalue is city's treasure. the higher your landvalue the more $$$ you recive
from your sims, for example: if you have low land value,
you recive only 10$ tax from single home, but if you have high land value,
you recive recive 100$ tax from large apartments. because higher land value
with high aura will allow sims to build bigger buildings which means more income
for your city treasury.  
to increase landvalue you need to:
*Build Parks/FunZones(funzones are Zoo, Pond, Fountain, Stadium)
*Lower Crime/Pollution/Traffic/Garbage
*Increase Health/Education
*Make sure you have enough water for your city
*Pass in your ordinance "Tourism Attraction" and "Advanced Recycling Program"

How to increase Aura?
---------------------
Aura is sims happy. if you have low aura, your sims are sad and angry
so your they build buildings slowly
the higher your aura, the faster buildings sims will build
aura mostly effected from your landvalue, this means: the higher your landvalue
the more happy your sims will be.
to increase aura you need to:
*Increase LandValue (this mean Lower Crime/Pollution/Traffic/Garbage, Increase Health/
Education, Build Parks/FunZones)
that's all you need because LandValue effected from Crime/Pollution/Traffic/
Garbage, Parks/FunZones/Health/Education, and so your aura effected from it.

How to lower Garbage?
---------------------
Garbage is your sims trash, it cause high pollution and lower landvalue/aura
ofcourse you can't get rid of all your garbage but still you can recycle it by:
*Build Recycle Center
*Pass in your ordinance "Advanced Recycling Program"

How to increase Health?
-----------------------
everybody knows that health is the most important thing in humans life
so we need to keep our sims in healthy shape and then they could
live longer up to 100 LE and even more. so if you want your sims to be healthy:
*Build Hospitals
*Lower Pollution
*Pass in your ordinance "Invest Free Clincs" and "Road Safty"

How to increase Education?
--------------------------
Well this part must be the expensive part. education means futrue for your sims
they need to learn stuff and as everybody graduate they have bigger chance to
get the work they want. this mean your aura goes up because your sims are
smart and happy with their life. to give sims education you need to:
*Build Schools
*Build Colleges
*Pass in your ordinance "Educate Pro-Reading" and "University Level"

Are there any cheats for this game?
-----------------------------------
this part are for real cheaters who don't know how to play this game
or just who won the game and want to play the game with cheats to give
the game more functions and interest.
*If you didn't won the game or just started playing you shouldn't use this
cheats at all or the game suprises will disappeared and the game won't be fun
anymore.

Before typing any cheat, first you need to press [F2] - this stops the game
like Pause. then type the following codes you want:
[1] "simcash" - you will recive 2,000,000$
[2] "simgivethemepark" - you will be able to build once a "Theme Park", it is pretty 
expensive 100,000$ so you need to have large amount of cash or to type the cash
code. the Theme Park will increase your Aura really fast.
[3] "simgivelonglife" - you will be able to build once a 
"Medical LongLife Center", which costs 75,000$, so if you thought that 100 LE
is the maxium then you are wrong, because with this Medical LongLife Center
people could live even longer than 100 LE up to 120 LE!!!.
[4] "simgiveknowledge" - you will be able to build once a
"Education Center", which costs 85,000$, so if you thought that education ends
until 150 EQ then you are wrong, because with this Education Center people
could be even smarter than they could imagine to them self. now your Education
level could reach up to 160 EQ!!!.

Will be more of simcity games like this?
----------------------------------------
Hard to know! but maybe?! or maybe not, we will see.
