Learn how SimCity budget settings carry over between games and how to avoid low funding in transportation and police.

If you play a SimCity game and perform poorly, resulting in your budget not reaching 100% funding for all areas due to a lack of funds by the end of the year, and then quit that game, the budget settings will persist into your next game. This carryover applies whether you start a New City, enter Practice mode, or begin a Scenario.

If you do not monitor this situation in your first new year, negative consequences will occur. If you are fortunate, only transportation funding will be low, and not Police funding as well.

Tips
  • Always check your budget at the start of a new SimCity year to ensure 100% funding.
  • Prioritize maintaining adequate funding for essential services like Police and Transportation.
  • Be aware that poor performance in one game can have lasting effects on future SimCity sessions.
