While playing, highlight the toolbar and type "oivaizmir". You must enter this in lowercase, so make sure your Caps Lock is off. If you do this correctly a new menu entry called DEBUG will appear. From here you can get free money, all the technology and gifts, and choose from more disasters.

To enter debug mode in the Windows 95 version, type "PRISCILLA" while playing. Note that this code may only work in SimCity 2000 CD collection (the one that comes with SimCity 2000, the Urban Renewal Kit and Great Disasters.)

Anyone who has built a successful airport in Sim City 2000 knows that SimCopter 1 can get annoying. To eliminate it, shut off disasters, then go to the icon bar and select the centering tool. These are now your official SimCity cross-hairs. Possition it over the unfortunate copter and press the left button on your mouse. This will take some practice, but it's funny when you hit 'em.

Make sure your population is over 300,000, then build 100 churches in your city.

To lower the crime rate and raise the land value in your arcologies, simply build police staations and parks nearby. Also be sure to add power and water.

With the magic eraser, you are able to erase structures. But when you query on the blank tile, it still shows the structure! This is perfect for arcologies, because you can build over them, and the population remains! This is how you do it:

1. Select the "Tree/Water" icon on the toolbar, and choose trees.
2. Click and hold the mouse button over the part of the structure you want to erase.
3. Without releasing the mouse button, press and hold Shift
4. Without releasing the mouse button or the SHIFT key, drag the mouse over anything you wish to erase. The buildings will vanish, but the population will remain intact.
