SC3K had a masterfully executed advisor system that felt both classy and warm. Ditto its music and art.
Unfortunately for SC4, they proceeded to make all the advisors 3D-rendered Sims. For SC2K, well:

(that was the least offensive page to link; for the canonical experience start at page 1)
YOU CAN'T CUT BACK ON FUNDING! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!!
These aren’t actually from the game…
Wait, are those from Sim City 2000, released in 1993? One of them references Google Maps, first available under that name somewhere around 2004?
These were likely made with Foone's Death Generator. https://deathgenerator.com/#sc2k
Also Wazzup? was later. And the dialog looks different in screenshots you find online but then again there have probably been quite a few releases. Still, I would say those images are not real or maybe from some modded version.
I have a very vague memory of being able to name streets, so this might be that.
I vaguely remember 2 different releases of 3k with different advisors. I liked the cartoony ones better.
These are all amazing. Thank you.
