Benefits, detriments and costs

This list contains all ordinances defined by Maxis. There are exactly 20 of them, and they are predefined in the game's exe file. Thus, additional ordinances cannot be added, but the existing ones can be modded to a certain degree.

The ordinances are listed in alphabetical order by their exemplar names within SimCity_1.dat. The name given for an ordinance is not necessarily the same as seen in game. In the game they are given in LTEXT files separately for each language.

The number in front of an ordinance is the Instance ID of the ordinance exemplar (you won't need these numbers). The Type ID and Group ID for all Ordinance Exemplars are 0x6534284A, 0xA9C2C209 (you won't need those either).

C2BF1E04 Car Smogging
Enactment Cost §20
Retractment Cost §10
Monthly Cost §20 + §0.005 per person
Mayor Rating -5
A2BF1DDC Carpool Incentive
Enactment Cost §10
Retractment Cost §10
Monthly Cost §50 + §0.010 per person
COMPLETE [1]


Note that the Mayor Rating, when decreased, are not percentages. The Mayor Rating can be any value between 0 and 255. A reduction of -5 means the Mayor Rating is decreased by exactly 5 (not 5%).

Avaliability

At startup of a new city no ordinances are available until one month has elapsed. After that month the following 16 ordinances become available:

  • Car Smogging
  • Carpool Incentive
  • Clean Air
  • CPR Training
  • Free Clinics
  • Gambling
  • Nuclear Free Zone
  • Paper Reduction
  • Power Conservation
  • Pro-reading campaign
  • Shuttle Service
  • Smoke Detectors
  • Tire Recycling
  • Tourist Promotion
  • Water Conservation
  • Youth Curfew

The remaining four ordinances all require certain buildings to be built first:

  • Junior Sports (Park)
  • Landfill Gas Recovery (Landfill + Gas Power Plant)
  • Neighborhood Watch (Police Station)
  • Trash Presorting (Recycling Center)

Two properties found in the ordinance exemplars are obviously unused:

  • Year Available (0 for all, except 1970 for Power Conservation)
  • Monthly Chance (0.005 for all ordinances)
