Creating a national park in SimCity 3000

Contributor/author(s): Kelsey

Have you ever wished you could make a large, beautiful, and green large park or nature reserve? Well, now you can--sort of.

Step One: Open SC3000 and create a city. Any one will do. You can also load an existing city, as long as it has a flat spot and a reasonable amount of space left on the map.

Step Two: Find an area with a medium sized clump of trees on the map. If there isn't one, make one. It should be at least 10x10 tiles-it doesn't have to be a square. Make it look natural if possible. It's fine-good, actually-if your area has a small hill on it. That adds character.

Step Three: Enter the cheat code 'pay tribute to your king' and click on 'Rewards and Opportunities.' Click on the Geyser Park and add it on the fringe of your forested area. Do the same thing for the Country Club.

Step Four: If desired, you can add a few landmarks to your park.

Step Five: Add roads, being careful not to build a road through your forest.

Step Six: Ta-da!

Extra Bits: The Real Terrain for New Orleans has a perfect size clump of trees on its map-that was where I came up with the idea for a park.
