SimCity Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-26 · 20 entries checked · 4 flagged · 10 issues confirmed · 4 corrected · 6 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Power Plant Manager — Fusion power was introduced in SimCity 2000 (via the Urban Renewal Kit or later patches), not first in SimCity 3000; the entry incorrectly states it was not introduced until SimCity 3000.

SimCity 2000 — SimCity 2000 was released in 1993, not 1994.

SimCity 2000 — SimCity 2000 was not ported to the Game Boy Advance; it was ported to the Game Boy Color, but not the Game Boy Advance.

San Francisco — The entry states that the Shell Building appears as 'Wren Insurance' in SimCity 4, but it actually appears in SimCity 3000.

San Francisco — The entry states that 450 Sutter Street appears as 'Vu Financial' in SimCity 4, but it actually appears in SimCity 3000.

Mountainous — The claim 'First Appearance=SimCity (1989)' is incorrect because the original SimCity (1989) did not feature terrain height variation or mountainous regions as a distinct terrain classification; elevation and slope mechanics were introduced in SimCity 2000.

Mountainous — The claim 'Power lines may require extra poles to maintain height over deep valleys' is not a factual feature of any SimCity game; power lines do not require extra poles for height over valleys.

Hospital Director — [phantom sweep] meta-commentary published as content; rewrite source-grounded
