Access the Neighbors Window (NGH) in SimCity 2000 with Ctrl+H to see your city's relation to four neighbors and SimNation's population.

The Neighbors Window (NGH) in SimCity 2000 provides a visual overview of your city's standing relative to its four neighboring cities. You can access this window by pressing Ctrl+H. If your city has a coastline, one of the displayed neighbors will be the ocean, labeled as "Ocean." The names of these neighbors are determined randomly. The size of your neighboring cities is influenced by your own city's performance, but they will not exceed approximately 5 million residents each. Beyond this point, their populations will fluctuate between 5 million and 4.9 million. The window also shows the population of SimNation, which caps at around 5 billion. The graphical representation of your city within this window scales with its size, ranging from a few buildings and roads to a vast metropolis.

Tips
  • Keep the Neighbors Window open while your city runs to monitor real-time changes in your city's status and its neighbors' growth.
  • Pay attention to the size of your neighbors as an indicator of your own city's success.
  • Note that neighbor city populations stabilize around 5 million, with SimNation's population capped at 5 billion.
