Explore SimCity building methods, including the Donut Block method and pollution differences between regular zones and specialized buildings.

The reduced block size of regular Zones in SimCity necessitates a modification of the Donut Block method. Since the only available difficulty level is Easy, players will not encounter any disasters.

Airports and Seaports in SimCity appear to generate pollution regardless of their connection to electricity. This differs from the SNES version, where these buildings only produced pollution if they were supplied with electricity.

Tips
  • Be aware that the Donut Block method may need adjustments due to smaller Zone block sizes.
  • Note that Airports and Seaports can cause pollution even if unpowered.
