SimCity

SimCity Tutorial

In SimCity, you'll be in charge of designing and managing your own city. SimCity is an easy simulator to play with, but to get the most of your time in SimCity you must go through the tutorial on Day 1 of your project. To get to the tutorial, start at the main menu and click on the ellipsis (...) in the top right corner of the screen and then click on Getting Started. Once you've completed the tutorial, you'll be ready to move on to building your first city.

Choosing a Region + Your First City

Before you can begin your first city, you need to choose a region to build the city. Click on play from the main menu and choose any of the empty save game slots and then choose any region you would like. Each region has its own characteristics and number of open spaces to build cities. When it comes time to name your region, please make sure to include either your first names OR your group name (STEM1A). Please make sure that you do not turn on sandbox mode.

CHEAT CODES

There are a number of "cheat codes" that you can find online for SimCity. Please do not try to use them during your time on this project. Since these codes eliminate some of the problem solving that you need to do during this project, any groups that use cheat codes will automatically receive a 50% for their problem solving grade.
