The best city-sim game

[Kristijonas]

Hello, please recommend a good game like from City Motion, City Live, Sim City series or anything similar with skyscrapers and all that jazz 😎 Please only share the games you really find enjoyable. I'm thinking to play Sim City 4, but it's an old game and I already know it well, so it might be dull for me.

SimCity is really the only option. Goto http://www.simtropolis.com/ and I promise you'll never, ever get bored of SimCity will all the mods they have 😉

And holy bleep a desert city in SimCity!!! http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/journals/1490/entry-11544-khrsybicat/

Next up would be CitiesXL, but the buildings don't grow like they do in SC4.

Do you have some SC4 mods you could recommend? Only professionally made, please, no texture imports from other games that look ridiculous ;D

What about this game?? http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/citi...ry%3Bread-review&tag=stitialclk;gamespace

Ran well. Good balance. No extra bullshit. Its what you want.

There's hundreds of mods for SC4, you'd have to browse them to see what you like: http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/category/1-simcity-4/

You can sort them by rating or most popular. The one mod you can't live without fixes how transportation works: http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/21355-network-addon-mod-nam-version-29-for-pc/

That link you have for Cities in Motion is more of a transportation game, but fun none the less from what I've heard. I have it, but haven't had a chance to play it yet.

Cities in motion is just moving passengers from place to place. fun game, but zero city building aspects.

3000 was terrible. SC4 with RH and some mods is much better.

Tropico 3 was really, really, REALLY good, but criminally short.

How was 3000 terrible? It was a great game.
