Ohh so that's why, aside from SimCity 4, games like RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, Factorio, and OpenTTD are such a time sink. They allow us to do whatever we want, with minimum rules and loose goals

I've heard youtuber say, "I like how quick the city was built". You can build quickly in this game. And make quick neighbors, quick development. Cities Skylines takes longer to develop an area, less population per density of building. Agent based traffic (which is a good difference though) Now with ilives reader with the data files manipulations. NAM customizes it, but encouraging customizing the traffic simulator further to aid you in your region's needs. You see, the original copy was rushed to market. With these mods/tools 20 years later, still affords you the opportunity to unlock potential features of the game that have never been seen before... until now!

What killed SC4 for me was that I got spoiled by not having a grid in C:S. If someone could create a mod for SC4 to remove the grid I'd be hooked again. Sad that this is impossible.

I wonder why I'm always drawn to SimCity4/SimCity3000 but Cities Skylines feels so empty...

@Chronostra 11 ай бұрын

For me it was the opposite. I feel like SimCity series are more constraining than Cities Skyline. But that's just me though.

@WickedMuis 11 ай бұрын

@@Chronostra Think it's the fact that SimCity games are more defined and straight forward: only based on USA, using strict grid lines, less transport options. While Cities: Skylines has WAY more freedom and possibilities. The more neatly defined gameplay can feel more comfortable than the vast amount of posibilities. Like staring at a blank sheet of paper and not knowing what to draw or write.

hmm, i love both, i have thousands of hours in each game. no idea what you mean about CS tbh, its probably one of my favorite games of all time, i like it more than sc4 (that being said, i do have about 60gb of mods and assets for CS) so much that i went and literally bought more memory solely for CS. vanilla cities skylines i have no idea about.

I enjoy cities skylines but i prefer sim city 4. It was way ahead of its time. Its so simple yet so complex and the ice on the cake for me is how well it handles the wealth classes and population better than skylines. I’m def hyped for cities skylines 2 but in the meantime i’m sticking with simcity 4.
