About This File

More than 1200 acronyms and technical terms explained

Description

This is a dictionary of the most common abbreviations, acronyms and technical terms around SimCity 4. It started as my personal notes and since I used the file format of a stand-alone wiki I am sharing it here. I hope it will be useful, particularly to new mayors who try to navigate the SC4 world.

Suggestions and Corrections

I am sure there is more work to be done. There are aspects of the game that I haven't explored yet and there will likely be things I got wrong. Please share your suggestions and corrections with me in this topic:

Thanks to Cori and Cyclone Boom for your advice and input!

I think the first abbreviation I learned, probably 15 years ago when I first started playing this game, was W2W (Wall to wall) but at first I thought: "What the hell does W2W mean? Could it be World War 2!?" But actually, when you think about it, the truth is closer than you think, when you consider so many W2W buildings batted are actually "Pre-War." so it's a weird kinda thing.

At my age brain does simple connections, like: food -> refrigerator, TV -> soccer, Rain -> stay on the couch. At my age this structure for presenting knowledge is really helpfull. You ring bells in me, plenty of bells. All this knowledge seemed to be lost somewhere in time and space, you trigger it! Thank you so much! People like you, they hold the universe together! People like you help me to remember the reason, why this big grey humming thing stands in my kitchen, this .... this ... a you know what I mean.
