Tips and tricks
- Grouping negative appeal structures will not multiply its negative ratings, so build workshop, recycle center and garden center near to each other. Build business center and refineries ONLY if you need to.
- Always check mail because it usually contains some extra money and sometimes will remind you of a useful game tips.
- The easiest color to paint a house is YELLOW because it's just underneath the "Paint House" button so you can essentially double-click on "Paint House" to shave off a few seconds.
