SimCity 2000 Money Cheats: Complete Comparison Table

There's no single "best" money cheat in SimCity 2000—it depends on whether you want instant cash, long-term stability, or experimental freedom.

Cheat Code	Effect	Pros	Cons
MOTHERLODE	~$10,000 instantly	Fast, huge boost	Trivializes economy, removes challenge
SIMOLEONS	Moderate cash (~$1,000?)	Less game-breaking	Still reduces challenge
THE MONEY IS TIGHT	Increases tax revenue	Long-term stability	No immediate cash
NO MORE GROWING	Stops city growth	Saves expenses	Limits development, unrealistic
NO ZONING	Blocks new zones	Focus on building	Unrealistic, limiting

Recommendation by Goal

Quick cash for building: MOTHERLODE (classic, instant)
Gradual boost without breaking economy: SIMOLEONS or THE MONEY IS TIGHT
Design experimentation (no growth pressure): NO ZONING (with caveats)
Pure creativity: Use SCURK (unlocks all rewards/buildings) + MOTHERLODE

Pro Tip

Try a normal playthrough first. SimCity 2000's economic simulation is surprisingly deep—balancing taxes, ordinances, and zones is the real game. Cheats reduce long-term satisfaction.
