List of good cheats
First of all, to even access the cheat menu in this game, you will need to press and hold Ctrl and X at the same time. The cheat menu will come up in the form of a little box in the top left-hand corner. Then, enter any one of these cheats. They MUST be typed exactly as I have, excepting capitol/lowercase.
Then hit ENTER. If the cheat worked, the box will close. If it didn't, the box will open. You can't really play the game while the box is open, so if you can't get the cheat right, backspace until the box is blank and hit CTRL + X again to close it.
1st Cheat: Weaknesspays--give 1,000 dollars.
Special note on this cheat. Type the cheat in once first, then reopen the cheat box. Hold shift, then press the up button on the 4 key thing next to CTRL. The cheat will reappear, and you can use it again with just that. Keep holding the shift button and press ENTER. The box will not close. Hit up again, and the cheat will reappear. Then hit ENTER, and the cheat will activate again. This works with Weaknesspays the best, but will also work with any other cheat. Repeat as necessary to get $$$.
The only other cheat I know is you don't deserve it. It gets you ALL the buildings.
Reactivate God mode
To reenter God mode after you have created your City, hold [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Shift] and click the "God Mode" button. The tools will not be the post-establishment tools, but will revert back to pre-city tools. They will remain that way as long as you stay in God mode, otherwise they go back to normal.
Save money on traffic
Building highways is a heavy hitter on your budget, and noisy as well. If you place two roads side by side and connect every segment with streets (roads have stoplights), then you should be able to get traffic moving just as fast as on highways, but much cheaper and quieter.
