My city is spending too much money. I been taking loans but i still can't make the income higher the outcome.

I demolited the whole public transport, which was useless at all.

Now what should i do? Can't cut costs from Hospitals and Schools anymore.

Have a look at the Omnibus tutorials Daekdroom, from there I found the things needed to know how to make my city make a bit of profit.

If your "work" zones and residential are well separated, put toll booths at every crossing point, so the Sims have to use them. Two sets or even three if you have room. (Just be careful, if one route has less they may congregate to it and cause traffic tie-ups).

Another danger is that too many toll roads and you might see some unemployment as sims are too cheap to pay tolls. I have seen it in my cities. Also reducing costs in schools and hospitals are the easiest.

    zwabberaar: I'm going to take a look again then.

    writingliberty: They're in the center of city and i'm not using avenues.

    villagemayor: If i reduce schools or hospitals costs even more their rate will fall. But i think some of overload might not hurt.

    I just failed at making that city because i was using external cheats, so i was wasting money ^^

    Whatever, i remade it, it profits $600 from a 4.000 city.. I think that is good for awhile..
