    Terrain Editor

    If you want to make a terrain all you have to do is go to some paint program on your com. Change pixels to 257 X 257. Change from color mode to grayscale. You cannot have any color!! (Only if you are doing a large city.) Now using white as highest terrain in the city and black as lowest, make an overview picture of a terrain. (The lighter the gray the higher the terrain will be when you load it.) When you are done, save it. Remember the path. For example: C:/ProgramFiles/Maxis/Cities.
    Go into Simcity and start a new city. When you are selecting the amount of Mountains, water, and trees, press SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+C all at the same time. When the textbox appears type the path. (Like the example above.)

    All buildings (zone, power, water, R&O, etc.)

    1)Open the "Power Structures" window; close it by clicking the "X"
    2)Repeat with the "Rewards and Opportunities" window
    3)Repeat with the "Garbage Processing" window
    4)Open the "Landmarks" window
    You will have a huge list of not only the landmarks, but all of the R&O, garbage, power, water, zone, and lots of more structures.

    Get out of debt easily

    This isn't really a code just a really helpful hint. This helps you get out of debt. As long as you got at least 50,000 people this works really well. what you do is you set the all taxes to 22% and then, put all the fundings (transit, roads, fire, etc.) to zero. then wait one year. you should gain a whole bunch of money. then put everything back to the way it was. this should help a bunch.

    Underground Electric Wires

    This cheat code benefits only with the code "i am weak." they are two ways to accomplish this task.
    1.First zone the tiles with the cheapest zones available. Then plant all of it with electric wires. Now dezone it. Bingo, here you are, under ground electric wires.
    2. plant electric wire's on specific tiles. then zone it. Dezone if necessary.
    NOTE: It is important that the wires planted should be powered with electricity.
