SimCity: Population and Land Value Increased
A small balance patch for the SNES SimCity that raises population counts and spreads land value a little wider, so the 500,000-citizen megalopolis goal is within reach on most maps.
What's changed
Reaching a megalopolis of 500,000 people in the SNES SimCity usually means reshaping the land to fit as many zones as possible. RetchE's patch eases that: residential areas count roughly 30% more people toward each population milestone, and land value spreads over a slightly larger area around valuable spots. The result is that the top city size can be reached on most maps without terraforming, while the rest of the game plays as before.
