1. Expanding Your Population is Crucial to Your Success

• Creating a massive city with the type working parts that make it run without too many issues is the name of the game. This in turn leads to your custom city greatly increasing in population. Have plenty of people move in by building plenty of new residences and upgrading them as much as possible. More people living in your city means you’ll gain more tax money that can be used for beautification projects.

2. Pay Close Attention to Your Buildings’ Area of Effect

• Properly running residential areas in the game means making good use of the city services offered to you. Residential zones most definitely need fire stations, police stations and other buildings of their ilk built within the area. These buildings should be built and placed in close proximity to residential zones, which leads to a positive area of effect and helps that zone generate more tax income.

3. Move Around Your Buildings and Pave Your Streets Without a Care

• You should never worry about paying for anything when it comes to organizing and re-organzing the building and streets you’ve already placed in your city. Customize your city as much as you’d like when it comes to changing the location of buildings and streets and your master plan for a well-running city will come to fruition.

4. Make Your Factories Work for You At All Times of Live and Offline Play

• Built up factories produce basic materials, such as Minerals, Seeds, Wood, Plastic and Metal. Before you tend to the other important aspects of your city, make sure you set the jobs required to produce these goods beforehand. Finishing off these materials leads to your stores having the items needed to produce their goods after all. While your waiting for all of these goods to reach the end of their production time allocation, kill some time and work around your residential areas. For the items that take much longer to finish producing, set them to work during those periods of you leaving the game.

5. Always Keep a Great Mix of Materials and Items on Hand for Residential Upgrading Efforts

• Upgrading residential buildings means you’ll need to gather the materials gathered from factories and the items that come straight from your stores. Make sure you have a nice mix of basic materials and store produced items at all times so you can keep your population happy and build up a healthier neighborhood for them. Keep your industrial area far away from your residential area, by the way.
