Learn how to zoom in and out in SimCity 2000 using buttons or keyboard shortcuts. Discover how zoom levels affect visuals and train visibility.

The zoom buttons in SimCity 2000 allow you to change your perspective on the city. When you zoom out, trains become invisible and buildings appear slightly altered. This visual change occurs because each zoom level, with the exception of the two closest views in the Windows version, utilizes a distinct set of graphical drawings for buildings.

PlayStation Note: The PlayStation version of SimCity 2000 features only two zoom levels.
