How to Access the Advanced Query Tool? [Solved]

[atreides_99 16]

Hello, please help me with one question.  I'm new to SimCity and I would like to know how you can look at the statistics of the building so that it shows the number of employed workers of different classes.  As shown in this screenshot?  I apologize for my English, he is not my native language, the translator wrote through Google ... Thank you in advance for your help, I just do not know where to write ... I found this screenshot here on simtropolis.  In this topic.  (link)

Hiya, @atreides_99.

That is called the Advanced Query Tool. Select the regular Query Tool (the ? button) just like you were going click a building to see its stats, but while that tool is selected also hold down the Shift and Control and Alt keys. Then mouse over any building to see the additional information.

Btw, I split your post out to its own topic since it does not relate to the thread where you posted.

And, welcome to Simtropolis.

Thank you for your prompt reply and your help!  I apologize for the inconvenience I have caused you.  Didn't know how to create a topic and whether it is possible for beginners to create it (rating system?).  I'm just sitting here mainly for plugins and mods.  Thank you very much again!  I wish you a good morning / afternoon / or evening, I don’t know, maybe you and I are in different time zones, but here I’m with my question.  🙃😅 possibly stupid.  What I can do without Google translator)

It was no trouble at all. Just a few mouse clicks and the move was very easy.

This topic gives an overview of how to use the site: Introduction and Guide to Simtropolis.

Hi @atreides_99

In addition to what Cori explained above, just to quickly mention how the Advanced Query Tool needs the Extra Cheats Plugin installed for it to work.

This is a special .dll file which allows the popup with the added info to be displayed. A key point is to make sure to install it (and other SC4 DLL files) directly in your Plugins folder, which means not to place it in subfolders or else it won't load up in the game.

Thanks for your answer and the link you provided.

Its also possibly worth mentioning @simmaster07's rework of that file, it adds a few extra cheat codes including one with the ability to remove radiation from the city. Useful if you have a Three Mile Island moment.

Good point for the additional cheat commands he added.

From testing, I confirmed these can work in combination with the main Extra Cheats DLL which is still needed for the Advanced Query and the other options. SM's new cheats are added to the menu which appears when right clicking the cheats box.

Like so:
