To get everything for free including abandoned items, enter the "Powerplants" screen, then exit by clicking the "X". Then, go to the "Rewards" screen, and exit. Then go to "Garbage/Incenerators", and once again exit. Finally, go to the "Landmarks" screen.

Services are the buildings found in the health, education, fire, and police menus. Remember that these buildings don't only cost you money to build, but also carry a monthly expense to pay for labor and equipment. Sims will have to hold out of the luxuries of having police and fire protection for the time being, since you don't have enough income to support these monthly expenses.

In contradiction to the last technique, this involves buying power and exporting garbage. But, you have much more money to start off with to zone a lot more. Make sure you don't zone too much of one thing. If you do, you won't see development on them, because of the low demand, and you've just lost on your investment. If enough gets developed, tax income will exceed the expenses of the deals. Just keep in mind that until everything is developed, you will probably be on the negative side for a year or two. If you want, you could cash in on a business deal if one comes around.

In the beginning you will need a power plant. You can either buy power, or build power plants. I would choose building power plants because you can supply power to your neighbors for money. I would build either plant, although I usually select the oil.

It is far from pollution; It is zoned as light industrial; No more than 3 roads are wrapped around it

When you start a city begin by placing a school, fire station, police, and a hospital. Then you fill the gaps with some zones, mostly made up of residential and industrial, and then you water them. You will find this to be the optimal start for your city. Insecurity will set in since you are accumulating a bit of debt, but your financial advisor will reconfirm your ambitions by stating this is normal. This is the optimal time to grab a loan.

It is important to use your loan money wisely to make a profit. Don't use the loan money to build more fire stations, police stations, and other expenses because this will make you get into more debt since these items are all are deducted from your annual budget. Therefore, using your loan money to make facilities that will cause more expenses in your budget is foolish spending.

Loans should only be used for things that cost money to make, but not to maintain:Zones; Business Deals;Neighbor Connections (Only to sell)

Those three items are not expenses, but are income making things. . Don't use your neighbor connections to buy, though, since that is an expense.

If you use your loan money correctly, you will find yourself having more income than expenses. Leave the expensive police stations and such until you have a steady income of 1500 simoleons or more.
