If you want to assign particular buildings(or a Sim) a number & bring up their information quickly you can do so with this trick:
Click on the building you want, say the Lumber Mill. Then press ctrl 1.
Now click off from the building and press alt 1.
This immediately brings up that particular lumber mill (other lumber mills can be built & assigned a different number) unless you reassign the number to a different building.
To reassign a number click on a different building or Sim and press ctrl 1. Click off from building or Sim and press alt 1 to bring up card information.
Why would you want to have this ability? I use this feature when I want to check on the lumber mill to see if the productivity feature is ready without having to look at the building.
Any building and Sims can be assigned with any number (0 to 9) but no letters or other symbols work.
I only assign important buildings with building abilities or if I want to continue to follow a particular Sim.
The reason I tried this is because Sim City 3000 allows buildings to be assigned in this way!
I hope this helps others with their game!
