1. 1001 Nights 🌃
Experience 1001 in-game nights.

Tips:
  • Use a small map and let the game run on 3x speed while minimized.
  • Disable disasters to avoid interruptions.
  • Combine this with passive achievements like population growth

2. I Want It All 🏆
Unlock every building in the game.

Tips:
  • Many unique buildings require specific conditions (e.g., 20k industrial zone buildings, 2k abandoned buildings, etc.).
  • Use sandbox mode or a separate save to grind without hurting your main city.
3. Power to the People ⚡
Have the entire city run on wind or solar power for 5 years.

Tips:
  • Wait until late-game with solid income.
  • Replace all power sources with advanced wind or solar plants.
  • Turn off policies like "Power Saving" that may interfere.
4. SIMulated City 🧠
Reach 300k population.

Tips:
  • Use Green Cities DLC and high-density housing.
  • Focus on efficient traffic flow and public transport.
  • Lower taxes to keep people moving in.
5. Make Them Pay 💸
Have all taxes at maximum for 1 year without losing 15% population.
Tips:
  • Raise taxes at once, then immediately pause and activate happiness-boosting policies.
  • Do it during a growth boom or in a rich, stable city.
Bonus: Achievement Hunter Tips ✅
  • Use mods only if you don’t care about disabling achievements.
  • Keep multiple city saves—one for growing, one for achievement grinding.
  • Speed up slow achievements by letting the game run in the background.
  • Use districts smartly for achievements tied to zones or policies.
Thanks! 🙏
