Learn how the water slider affects your SimCity 2000 city, from flooding flat terrain to revealing mountain peaks.
The water slider in SimCity 2000 controls the overall water level of your city. When this slider is set to its maximum value, your city will become submerged in water, especially if the terrain is relatively flat. If your city is built on very mountainous terrain, only the highest mountain peaks will remain visible above the water. Conversely, if you set the water slider to zero, your city will have no water at all, unless you have specifically chosen to include a river or a coastline when initially designing your city.
Tips
- Consider the terrain of your city before maxing out the water slider to avoid unintended flooding.
- If you want a dry city, ensure the water slider is at zero and avoid adding rivers or coastlines.
- Adding a river or coastline provides water even with the slider at zero, offering a way to have water features without widespread flooding.
