Maxis Ordinances

Benefits, Detriments and Costs

This list contains all ordinances defined by Maxis. There are exactly 20 of them, and they are predefined in the game's exe file. Thus, additional ordinances cannot be added, but the existing ones can be modded to a certain degree.

The ordinances are listed in alphabetical order by their exemplar names within SimCity_1.dat. The name given for an ordinance is not necessarily the same as seen in game. In the game they are given in LTEXT files separately for each language.

The number in front of an ordinance is the Instance ID of the ordinance exemplar (you won't need these numbers). The Type ID and Group ID for all Ordinance Exemplars are 0x6534284A, 0xA9C2C209 (you won't need those either).
