Control tree coverage in SimCity 2000. Maxing the slider creates forest ambiance, while zeroing it out removes all trees.

The tree slider in SimCity 2000 allows you to dictate the density of trees in your city. When this slider is maxed out, your city will be covered with trees, creating a forest ambiance that some mayors prefer. If this slider is set to zero, there will be no trees in your city. Starting with trees covering every tile can sometimes make it inconvenient to develop land, as the trees have the tendency to obscure small features like pits or hills.

Over time, trees will begin to grow regardless of how desolate the landscape started out as. Given enough time, any given city's undeveloped land will be totally covered in trees.

Tips
  • Maxing the tree slider creates a lush forest ambiance.
  • Zeroing the tree slider removes all trees, which can be helpful for initial land development by making small features like pits or hills more visible.
  • Be aware that trees will grow back over time on undeveloped land, even if you initially remove them.
