SimCity 4 Cheats

SHARE:

Money from neighbor dealings

When you make a city, connect it to at least two cities. One should have water or some other major resource that the other needs. Make sure you dont have that specific resource in your city or the glitch wont work. Make a connection between these two cities using your "Neighbor Deals". Under the deals, select the resource to buy, then the other city to sell to, and then cancel the buy, but not the sale. 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.

Cheat codes

During gameplay press [Ctrl] + [X] to go to console and enter the following cheats followed by [Enter]. Entering invalid SimCity 4 cheat codes will make the console and text remain indifferent, whereas entering a valid cheat code will close the console. Hold [Shift] down while pressing [Enter] after entering a cheat code and console will remain open.

Fightthepower - Get Rid of Power Requirement
Hellomynameis - Change Mayor Name (add a space, then the name you wish to change it to)
Howdryiam - Get Rid of Water Requirement
Sizeof - Magnify (1-100)
Stopwatch - Pause Clock
Tastyzots - Toggle Zots
Weaknesspays - 1,000 added to Treasury
Whatimeizit - Set Time (add a space, then the time)
Whererufrom - Change City Name (add a space, then the name you wish to change it to)
You don't deserve it - All Rewards
Zoneria - Hide Empty Zone Color
Recorder - Starts the recorder
Gol - Map has greenish tint
Dollyllama - Advisors now appear as llamas

When unlocking rewards the green color appears blue or yellow, depending on what you zone. When this code is active, those colors disappear, but the zoning is still there. Repeat the code to disable its effect. TerrainQuery code shows the x, y, z, cell x, and cell z values in the bubble when the query button is on. Move over something and it will appear.

Double rewards

Enable the you don't deserve it code and write down requirements for the reward by holding the pointer over the picture. Place in that reward, and then do the requirements. Neil Fairbanks will ask your permission to build the reward a second time in your city.

the water cheat and power cheat dont work it is all a scam dont listen to them and half of the time my computer froze trying to use these cheats so dont use them or you will end up like me with my city not working so if you do use these cheats be careful and when your computer freezes up (like mine!) dont come crying to me! Cry to the website owner! I had to buy a new game which costs alot of money (which i worked hard for) and it is working perfectly but i wasted 30 bucks! now i have a game that doesnt even work that i paid for too! these cheats DO NOT WORK and never will! If you do use the cheats then you will have to buy a new game if you EVER want to play it again!!!!

At worst, you may have to reinstall the game. Don't listen to "poop" as he obviously has no idea what he's talking about. Your mileage may vary with this cheat, and I have found some success with it, but if you encounter the same problems as "poop" and come to the same hasty reaction, please box up your computer and return it to the place of purchase. You, like "poop," have been deemed too stupid to own one.

The water and, the power cheats work. There is more to them though than a simple code. First of all you can have nothing that pumps water or makes power in the city what so ever. (This means no way to get rid of trash is what I have issues with.) Before you destroy anything though consider this....... once they are gone each zone will still show no water., and each zone will say no power as well until you build something. I have not figured out how to make it say there is water for the building yet with the cheat everything keeps on building as if there is water, and power though. Once built the building give it a second and chech it. You will see it claims to have "Powered YES", and "Watered NO". This is fine there is still water there. The advisor will still pop up and say you need power stations but it is fine you have power, and water.... if you have ever built without either, and no cheat codes you know nothing ever builds until you add both power and, water. What I am getting at is if folks build and stay you know, you have done both. I used these codes to make large mountain farm areas where there is little trash so I didn't zone a dump and no police were needed. I built no schools or anything that cost money. I used the cheat codes to avoid another monthly $. I made one town like my home town of Pickensville Alabma (Lots of nothing but a few houses and extra large farms), and another town like Galax Virginia (small group of houses a few gas stations and the rest mostly unzoned with trees or small farms). I would not have been able to do this without these cheat codes. If you still want to do this here is how.

Established city
1. Hold down "CTRL", and press "X", then you may release both. When the small code box appears type in the code you wish to use, and press enter.
(Repeat for other code)
2. Pause the time on the city to avoid issues with town folks.
3.Use the bull dozer to destroy the grid of power (all power stations even the waste to energy must go. With power gone select pipes as if you were going to build some. Now with the bull dozer destroy them as well.
4. Allow time to begin and speed it along allowing time for power to arrive, and then repause the time to chech that your city is ok still. (remember it will say powered but not watered and your advisor has no idea about the magic trick you just pulled so he will flip out about there being no power or water.

Note: If you do not destroy your power stations they will run at full power until you do.e

New city or farm
1. Hold down "CTRL", and press "X", then you may release both. When the small code box appears type in the code you wish to use, and press enter.
(Repeat for other code)
2. Zone your first area and be patient while power and, water arrives. Remember it takes a second when you build and it takes a second now. When checked it will say "Powered YES/ Watered NO" This is normal.
3. Have fun and ignore your advisor who will fuss fit and carry on. There should be no power lines, and water pipes, and $$$ to pay for either.
4. (Only if annoyed) you can destroy the lines from another city to the one you are working on and the advisor will no ask you to buy power from them again. The advisor still will tell you to build power stations every now an again but dealing with that is better than all the lines, money, pipes, etc.
IF y'all have issues with this just post and I wll try to help if I can AND THANKS TO Y'ALL that have helped me before!
