I've been playing Sim City 3000 unlimited, borrowed from an old friend.

I managed to build a city of 300000 aproximately and money is plenty, but I'm still struggling with the game.

So I'm looking for some tips from you guys on:
- How can I rise zone demand? So far it has looked a bit randomic to me. It appears that after I changed some ordinances, demand fell through the skies and population dropped almost 100000.
- Why sims keep anoying me about taxes even when they're around 1%?
- How can I build bridges? It doesn't seem to be just like SC2k.
- Do landmarks afect anything at all?
- Is it me or late game economy is all neighbour deal based?
- Any other tips?

EDIT:
- Actually, I had a great drop after that, population kept dropping until roughtly half the original. None of the advisors offered any tip or even recognized that the population had suffered such a loss.
- Sims will complain of high taxes even when they're zero! WHY!?

Hi, Videogameget! Thanks for the reply, but now that I've finally seen your post, it has been a while since I gave up and uninstalled the game.

Sim City 3000 is just too much randomic for my tastes. I bought Sim City 4 on Origin, at a cheap promotional price, but didn't manage to play much of it yet.

Once again, thanks! ;)
