Learn how to load city files in SimCity 2000 using Ctrl+L (Windows) or Alt-L (DOS) and convert SimCity Classic cities.

The Load City function allows you to open previously saved city files. Selecting this option opens a window where you can browse and choose any available *.SC2 file for opening. Additionally, you have the capability to select a *.CTY file from SimCity Classic for conversion into a SimCity 2000 file. This conversion feature is discussed in more detail in Section 8.1 (T R K).

Hotkeys:

  • Windows: Ctrl+L
  • DOS: Alt-L
Tips
  • Ensure your SimCity 2000 city files (*.SC2) are in a location you can easily access.
  • Remember that SimCity Classic city files (*.CTY) can be converted, but the specifics of this process are detailed elsewhere.
