SimCity 3000 - Hints

Seaports: Go Deep

When planning a seaport, be sure to place it near deep water. If
the water is too shallow, ships won't be able to travel through
the waterways to reach your port.

Seaports: Size Matters

When zoning for your seaports, be sure to make them at least 5 x 8
squares, or even larger if there is sufficient demand for
industrial zones. Seaports that are smaller than this minimum size
won't develop.

Crooks Like Baseball, Too

Every move you make has both positive and negative effects.  Build
a stadium to create a more appealing city, and you'll also
increase crime in that area. While you're saving up for it, make
sure you budget for a few crime-lowering improvements to balance
things out.

Be a Deal Maker

Look to develop neighbour deals early on. Specifically, make sure
you have excess garbage capacity, then contract to handle another
city's garbage. Sure it's smelly, but it brings in much- needed
income.

Ordinance Recommendations

It is highly recommended that you pass the Farmer's Market and
Shuttle Service Ordinances, and that you do not pass Public Access
Cable.
