This is a very simple guide that shows you how to build your first city. This is a basic city but you can make it complicated by boosting your population because that brings you money.

How to Traffic

Traffic is one of the biggest things you have to learn to master in this game. When you have a city with a massive population, the routes are going to be difficult to navigate because there will be tons of people.

This is where you need to plan where to place your residential, commercial, and industrial zones. There’s a hack where you can make routes in a zig zag position but the city doesn’t really look good.
