Learn how to use the essential Query tool in SimCity 2000 to get building information and rename structures. No cost to use.

You can access the Query tool in SimCity 2000 in two ways: by clicking the Query button and then selecting a building or tile, or by holding the key and clicking on the building or tile. The latter method has the advantage of keeping your previously selected tool active after you query.

Depending on the building you query, you may be able to rename it. If renaming is not an option, click anywhere within the query window or press to close it. If renaming is possible, you will be presented with "Rename" and "DONE." options. There is no cost associated with using the Query tool.

PlayStation Note: You cannot rename buildings in the PlayStation version of SimCity 2000.

Tips
  • Use the + click method to quickly query buildings without interrupting your current construction or zoning task.
  • Always check if a building can be renamed, as this can help you organize your city more effectively.
  • Pressing is a quick way to close the query window if you don't need to rename a building.
