Learn how to demolish buildings, trees, ponds, and rubble in SimCity 2000 for $1 per tile. Understand Sim reactions to deforestation.

The Demolish/Clear function in SimCity 2000 allows you to remove various elements from your city. You can tear down any man-made object, excluding military buildings. Additionally, you can remove trees, man-made ponds and lakes, and rubble.

Cost: The cost to use this function is $1 per tile.

Note about environmental Sims:

If you begin bulldozing the forests within your city, you will eventually receive a pop-up message. This message will indicate that your Sims (non-player characters) are unhappy with your actions and request that you stop.

Tips
  • Be mindful of the cost, as demolishing large areas can become expensive.
  • Avoid demolishing too many trees, as this can negatively impact Sim happiness.
  • Military buildings cannot be demolished using this function.
