Contrary to the usual trend in computer games, SimCity 3000 (SC3K) is actually considerably less complicated than SC2K, which may cause dismay in some hard-core gamers. This streamlining should, however, delight those who were frustrated with certain key areas of SC2K, such as water and power management. In addition, some fantastic additions have been made, including amazingly detailed graphics and animations. And now you can even conduct intercity trade. We think you'll agree that the finely tuned interface, the ease of use, and the enhancements to gameplay make this the best SimCity game yet. This book give you the information you'll need to create a successful and thriving city that you (and your Sim citizens) can be proud of.

There's plenty of help here to take your city-management skills to the next level and beyond. • Appendix: Cheat codes. Nothing but cheat codes. From special garbage management help to underworld payloa deals, a cheater's paradise awaits.
