Starting Budget & Tax

Hints

When you first start playing you want to avoid going into the nation's fund as there is no need to do this when you only have one city on the map. Go into settings and on the right side under expanses you will find the national contribution. Make this 0. 

Once you have done that it would be best if you lowered your tax settings as well. Lower your tax settings on retail, commercial, industry, and residential zones. Doing this will keep demand high but cost low for the development of your city. 

The order of things

Hints

Make a road before you do anything. Choose a spot on the edge of the map so that you can lay a long uninterrupted road. Choose the cheapest road to lay and draw your road as long as you can get it. This will most likely be gravel roads. They have 1000 capacity for traffic congestion and don’t require maintenance. 

Once you have got your road set think forward to how you are going to zone off your areas and place water and electricity accordingly. Take a look at the guides section to see how to do this. 

How to Make More Money on Taxes

Hints

Generally when they are a need in one of your zones for a particular service, such as a fire department. That zone will provide the money to pay for those services. If you see there is a need in any of your zones for a service, for example, a fire department, placing one there will up the safety ratings in that area and the overall happiness of your citizens. 

Because you are providing more services in that area you will see more income coming into your taxes. You can take advantage of this by being prompt in placing more service areas before the need becomes dire. 

Keeping Citizens Happy.

Hints

In any city simulator, it is vital that you keep your citizens happy. The consequences of unhappy citizens can lead to your town being unproductive, there being protests and not being able to produce the necessary tax you need. 

Situations that can cause unhappy citizens are things such as highly populated residential areas, residential areas that are too close to industrial areas with heavy pollution, and high unemployment or tax rate. Highly congested traffic is a fast way to make your citizens unhappy. Having areas such as parks and recreational areas for citizens are often ways of keeping them happy.
