Learn how the Graph Kludge in SimCity 2000 resets data display in the graphs window, recalibrating scales for city size and other stats.

The Graph Kludge is a function within SimCity 2000 that affects how data is displayed in the graphs window. Its primary purpose is to reset the scale of certain graphs, particularly when a statistic has experienced extreme fluctuations.

For instance, if your city's population reaches 500,000 and then you destroy half of it, the City Size line on the graph might remain in the middle of the chart. Activating the Graph Kludge will recalibrate this line, pushing it back to the top of the graph display.

Additionally, the Graph Kludge can be used to recalibrate the scale of other statistics that have shown a significant increase followed by a decrease. This applies to most statistics except for health, education, power, water, Gross National Fortune (GNF), National Population, and the Federal Reserve Rate.

Tips
  • Use the Graph Kludge to ensure your city's statistics are accurately represented on the graphs, especially after major changes to your city's size or other metrics.
  • Remember that the Graph Kludge does not affect the display of health, education, power, water, GNF, National Population, or Fed Rate.
