Show me the money! 1M+

[MayorJenkins 0]

Just another Show Me thread. This time, it would be nice to see how one acquires more than 1 million simoleons. Preferably post the City Budget panel and strategy. I'll start. This city is currently not connected to any other city in the region. It has an average of 3.5m simoleons at roughly 41k population. 41K seems to be the stable population level - any further nudge would create heavy traffic, etc. It has a lot of high-row trees around the industrial zones. It is currently focused on Tech Industry.

Nice! at work right now but I have 3mil and quickly rising. I seem to make a lot more money with industry than you, with the green bar being equal to money from your sims. I'm also doing processors, making about 375K a day from selling them (with only 1 processor and 1 recycling factory). I also make +7K per hour from industry and sims taxes.

Haha damn. My biggest problem is getting the Electronics HQ to upgrade. I need to make processor factories all over the city!

I just broke 10 million at Year 3. Three things that worked very well for me:

 

1. Low population = No Traffic
2. Efficient Supply Chain
3. Plant forests around industrial facilities = No sickness

just build a depot and "use locally" and wait until they are full including your chip factorys storage then open it for export at once..  make sure you have enough money to sustain while you are not exporting..

Create new city with more challenging terrain I guess?

 

We need bigger map for sure...

I accidentally left the game online the whole 10 hours I was at work. Buildings exploded and so did the cash - 100mil+!

 

Accidental botting FTW.

This was my sandbox test city to have a balanced city once and for all.

Has anyone made it past a billion simoleans? This took 8 hours, 6 of it unattended.

My main city has over a billion, had 14 TV factories for a while making 10 million/day. After I hit 1.1 billion I reduced it to 3 plants, which handles all maxed services (hospital, precinct, large fire station) with 2.5 mill profit left over. That was before they reset market prices though so don't know how much it makes now. Not playing it for fear of a rollback.

 

Just created a new city to try to max out money. Apparently they used a 32 bit int to store the money value so you can hit the max at 2.147 billion. Have 20 computer factories, making around 9 million/day with the new market prices.

 

Edit: Just hit overflow money, https://i.imgur.com/sV598Xh.jpg

This may interest you, though it's a bit overkill:
