Sandbox Mode

This may seem like a no-brainer for a world builder but I wanted to ask if there will be a free build mode where everything is unlocked and you can just build the city you want without restrictions and unlocks?

If there are achievements, they obviously shouldn't be earn-able in free build but there are times I just want to play like a little boy in a sandbox without daddy game saying "you have to build fifty houses before you can play with trains."

I'm also hoping some cheat codes like free cash are available to use in free build mode.

During the livestream I'm pretty sure she typed some cheat and all the buildings were unlocked so i guess there will be a cheat for that

Hopefully the cheats are left in, sometimes they're locked out at launch. Plus if you're using the cheats you shouldn't be able to work towards any achievements that may be in the game.

I may be old school, but I prefer when there's an actual money cheat. So that we get alot of money, that's basically unlimited, but still not.

Some games have sandbox modes where money can be turned off and everything are free. The problem with that is that it disables some functions regarding the economy.

In Sim City 4 I usually used a custom-made building that gave me 700 billions, or something like that, each month. So I started every city with building that building and simulating one month. Then I paused, demolished the building and started building my city.

So my hope is that there will be an option to do a similar thing. A cheat code, for example, that gives enough money so that we will never have to think about money when building the city, but that still keeps all budget functions fully functional.

I've been using the SC4 cheat DLL, as some money buildings are badly modded and therefore can cause serious disruptions in city development. The money cheat, on the other hand, just gives me as much money as I need, without any side effects.
