  • Welcome to my Let's play SimCity (aka SimCity 5 or SimCity 2013 ).
    #Simcity #Simcitygameplay
    In today's episode (part 1) we begin a brand new region and a brand new city in SimCity. I'll share some tips and strategies to have a successful start.
    I love this game and have never played it on my channel, so I'm excited for this series. SimCity is a great way for me to unwind and I thought it would be fun to record and share with you along with some tips and my approach to starting a successful city.
    If you are primarily interested in how I start a city then check out episodes 1, 5, 12 and 18.

    I'm glad to see folks still playing this game and creating tutorials. I just picked it up since it was on sale and have been enjoying it immensely.
    Why, though, are you charging low wealth people higher taxes than high wealth people? I tend to go the opposite way and have been charging (from low wealth to high), something like 9%, 10%, and 11%. Even then they will complain periodically about the high taxes. 😅

    • @leonarddavis8732
      @leonarddavis8732  Рік тому +1

      Glad you are enjoying the game. I have the taxes set at a rate that the simulation regards as neither too high or too low. Both will cause residents to complain or even move out. 10% high wealth, 11% medium and 12% low causes neutral reactions while generating the highest tax income. I have a tutorial on taxes.

    Traffic is not really an issue. I’m set with how to control the flow up to 100k ppl.
    My problem is 🩸 money left and right.
    Education, fire, police, and med do me in every time.

      How fast are you growing your city? I go slowly and add a service when I feel somewhat confident I'll be able to afford it.
      The city map size is small. Try to spread it out over 2 or more city plots.
      Good luck with your city(s).
