The money "exploit" can't affect you in any way. If someone who has low amount of money can't buy anything in trade HQ, also the one with huge amount of money can't buy anything, it's the same for all. Or do you think that rich players have some privilege to buy the items first? No, they don't. When i was trying to buy expansion items, i was not looking for the price and expensive items where impossible to buy as well as cheap ones (dozer blades). So the problem is that trade HQ does not work for all and money can't help you.
Also i think the money "exploit" is the worst one i ever seen.. You have to buldoze your whole city, then do the buldoze cycle all over again like a dron for hours.. This will raise your level and rebuild of your city will be veeery hard and slow, because on high level you will have all items unlocked and you will need the worst materials to upgrade your buildings.. Well, feel free to start "exploiting" if you think you will get any advantage over other players 🙂
Maybe I'm missing something here, but I think I'm with ranwej. Leveling is the enemy in this game. Though I see many people with entirely bulldozed cities and no attempt to rebuild. I'm guessing the objective here is to make key farming as simple as possible? Besides vu what's the advantage of not rebuilding?

I tend to agree I don't see the logic. What's the point of playing a city building sim if you aren't going to build a city. But then perhaps I completely miss out the point of why some people play this style of game mechanic. I know for whatever reason it is quite popular. I play a few of them myself but if it weren't for the story line in said games I would toss them out the window after the first time I played them. In fact the whole sit and wait for this one sometimes gets to me. So I try to plan out things better to avoid as much sit and wait as possible.
What money exploit? I've searched and there is no way to cheat. The only thing I found is a fake program that makes you complete endless surveys with no download at the end. Unless thats a real program.....
Doubt it.

I suspect they mean this: Demo all residential areas in your city. Set (but don't upgrade) two residential areas. One will need nails, one will need metal. Set aside the one that needs nails (i.e. move it out of your way but don't upgrade or demo it). Upgrade the one that needs metal. Pays about 700 Simoleons. Add a new residential area and demo the one you just upgraded. The new one will need one metal to upgrade. Rinse and repeat. Depending on the speed of your device, you can repeat this several times per minute and make several thousand Simoleons per minute.
So let's talk about the difference between cheating and this.
First, a couple of cheating examples: A friend's 13-year-old son found a program he can use on his laptop to help him with his gaming. The program reads the memory registers used by games and allows the player to change those registers. Need a million gold or a million lives? Just type it in and the program changes it. That's one form of cheating. Another is when someone uses an alternate program not approved by the game designer to automate some task or tasks in a game. This is often referred to as using a "bot" and is also cheating.
The steps I mention above are not cheating because they are all steps that are part of the game, even if they are being used in a way that might not have been anticipated by the game designers. The game designers set rules in the game that determine what resources are needed to upgrade; they set a cash payout when you upgrade; and they allow you to demo or move residential areas. It takes hours of very boring repetition to build up any significant bank using this method, and many players will find that it's not worth their time and boredom to bother. But it's not cheating because it's within the rules, such as they are.
