So Old I'm Losing Radiation Signs

I just re-installed my old copy of Sim City 4 Deluxe, and installed the necessary NAM mod.

I had forgotten how spectacular this city builder was.

I really wish EA hadn't shit all over the franchise, and given us Sim City Societies.

Any other Sim City fans here? Suggestions for SC4 mods I should try? Want to exchange screenshots of your biggest, best creations?

Love it and have played Sim City on all kinds of platforms. I really tried hard to like societies (I can be stubborn) but there was just nothing there to hook me. This is a shame because I loved how it created an ecosystem of cops and robbers, civilians and civil servants. Maybe somebody has made it great with MODS by now but I've long since gotten rid of my copy. The thing I missed the most in societies is the sense of progress... in Sim City your areas grow and flourish and change while in societies you can instantly build and demolish whatever you want and things dont progress on their own.

Personally I do really enjoy Sim City, I always joke that Boston (it is where I live) is that first city you create when you are still learning and when they ask you if you want to save you say no. You know, tiny crammed streets downtown and then it sprawls out in a poorly organized way.
 
I am.

Unfortunate I have never been good at it but I always liked building cities and have them run as efficient as possible.

I know it is an old game but classic Sim City still has a warm place in my heart.
 
Ah. I remember the day when I got a copy of the Sim City enhanced edition with my first computer. Wonderful game. I loved the videos in the enhanced edition. Spent many weeks on it, and SC2000. Haven't played the subsequent installments as often, but I like SC4. One thing I always liked to do was rebuilding my city after a major disaster.
 
Ah, I love Sim City.

My favorite was Sim City 2000. My next fave would be 3000.

I've never played 4, though I'd like to try it.

Also, I also rather liked the SNES version of Sim City. It was pretty fun I think.
 
God if there is one game besides Fallout and Earthbound that has taken more of my precious short life it's Sim City. My buddy, god rest his soul, used to bring alot of his Super Nintendo games over for the weekend when we were in middle school. He'd bring all these great games but we'd end up playing Sim City more than all of them. We'd see what would happen when we'd make this perfect city and see if we can fix a city after several Bowser attacks (Bowser was in, in place of the monster in the SNES version)

God, so many good memories. I even played Sim City 3000 a whole bunch after getting it out of a bargain bin. I used to play it on my old Windows 98 machine. It killed two disc drives (that particular machine was prone to that problem during the Sim City/Diablo 2 years).

I abused that poor machine.
 
I played SimCity 4 a lot as well, esspecially when the Rush Hour expansion was released. But it got very repetitive to me after a while, when all cities and neighborhoods started to look alike. :P
 
I play Rush Hour roughly once a week. I really wish there could be a SimCity5.

I remember the original Sim City and actually have a "Mayor's guide" for the original Sim City at my work. We also have a copy of the 1994 Internet White Pages!
 
Simcity 4 is the pinnacle of Simcity series which allows neighborhood trade and region play. But this old dog is showing its age...things can still run slow even with a quad core CPU and 4GB of RAM. Mods are what's keeping it alive until this day.

It also has this weird impact on me. Whenever I see the road, my city layout, power plant, garbage, seaport and water pipes, I always think that 'Yeah. I can do better than this'.
 
Huh, I didn't realize it but Maxis was behind SPORE. I recently purchased spore not sure if I would really enjoy it but, I've been addicted to it since.
 
I used to play almost twice a week, every week. I made a huge city in the landscape of San Fran, and I was very happy for it, since it was a huge working city, with railroads, subways, elevated trains, buses, good education and health system....


then I put in my mind that all these cities should be connected by highways. I made a lot of loans, and now all my cities are falling apart. I stop playing since then (this happened in the beginning of the year)

Raise taxes on heavy industry to the roof, spend lots of cash on education and you will wind up with a city as wealthy as... Well I was going to name a city in the US thats wealthy but... :wink:
