Can I Build a Realistic City in Sim City 4 With 15 Years of Experience in City Building Games? 

Sim City 4 Deluxe was also my first City building game 😊 This game gives me so many loving memories ❤

I’d be down for a series! I spent so much time playing this game.

Sim City 4 wasn't my first city building game, but it was one of my favorites. It has the best music of any that I have played!

I really really really really would have loved the region view solution for Cities Skylines 2. While I'm not sure what's feasible, it would have been a perfect solution to the issue with region sizes. Simcity (2013) tried to do the region view but for some reason added buffers between cities, which I thought was strange. What a weirdly terrible way to ruin what is honestly the most underrated solution to max city sizes and simulations.

I loved the challenging aspect behind the gameplay always encouraging expansion, densification, and diversification of industries, residential, and commercial areas, and associated services all whilst having to be cautious of your budget management. This game makes you work hard to earn that first skyscraper which only makes it that much more rewarding. CS2 and even CS1 don’t have this challenge to building a metropolis and CS2 even less so you can literally just paint an area and have 40, 50 story residential and office towers in minutes. It removes the “growth” aspect of building a city.

Daamn that intro unlocked some core memories

Still play the sountrack, double album, that music was so head of its time!

This was great! I'd love to see you fill out a region!

I have the same childhood for loving city builder than you... remembering when my grandfather buying me SC4 Deluxe at the local supermarket in 2005... great memories :)

I remember getting the original for my birthday and all my friends laughed at those building animations. They are most definitely still cool over 20 years later, regardless.

I still want simcity5….

This brings back memories. I used to spend a lot of time on Simtropolis looking at people's cities, as they created them neighbourhood by neighbourhood. This was before RU-vid existed. I even had my city in the discussion forum. I remember one region that someone built with many small towns and villages. That was amazing to see. I downloaded lots of mods, because I wanted everything to look even better. And the music brings back a lot of memories, too. I played SimCity 4 for countless hours. Loved the game, and I'd love to go back to it.

Thanks for playing the SC4 intro clip - BIG nostalgia hit right there!

I really liked this game. I bought it on Steam in the middle of 2013. Last played sometime in 2019. Thinking of playing it again.

My first city building was Sim City 3000 Special Edition🤗 I still love the music and the ambient sounds of them game, it was just so immersive. I really miss this from today’s games.

"We have a little saying in germany that everything was better in the old days" that sounds abit wrong. Great video!

Please do a series! I was so obsessed with this game as a kid

That nice ! Happy to rediscover the game ! I'm not against to see a small serie to see how you can manage the regional aspects of the game

My father introduced me to it when it launched. My father still plays it sometimes he has a very big city with a lod of mods. Everything looks so epic he would be great at having a youtube channel here but sadly he doesnt have time yet. Maybe when he goes into pension :D

This was so awesome to watch. I say fill out the little region and then go back to CS2. Might have more to do by then. Also... That zoning freedom would be nice in CS2...

That intro music, soo good!!

this gave me so many memories man. i want a full series now untill you co complete the map lol

I remember playing this game on my dads work laptop, I loved playing and it was really addictive. I just find the disappearing and appearing cars on the road annoying

Looks perfect for a EF4 tornado to rip through 🥰

Im def down for a series of this... why not!

I remember getting the first simcity and I loved it. Simcity 4 was absolutely the best. The "sequal" was absolutely garbage. I never even bothered to play it. I wish they would have just made simcity 4 again with some improvements and the ability to walk around your city.

I can tell you that playmat was where it definitely started with me! 😂

Sim City 4 Deluxe is the best with mod

Yes! Sim City 4 series is a great idea!

This is very good, can you make a playlist videos of SimCity 4 from population 0 to 1 million

Now I need to reinstall it. Funnily I always found it more engaging then Cities Skylines because you could start with rail for example and GodMode was awesome for painting a chosen landscape. A shame SC5 didn't really pick up where SC4 left off and more resembled SimCity Creator on the Wii.

Damn, I forgot about those parks where you had to place trees by yourself...

The animations are so good hopefully cs2 gets some updates the buildings themselves look great aswel maybe some mod comes to bring them in high def for cs2

I've put abouit 100 hours into 'Cities' and i have to say, i still think SC4 is the best all around City Sim ever made honestly.

You just need to make a realistic region series now

Please make a series out of this

“We have a saying in germany that things used to be better”. Hmmm. I dunno bout that one. Lol. 😂

Good memories! O how I hope some studio/developers come with a surprise announcement to do to Paradox/CO what Maxis was done to

For me that was simCity2000 and Anno ❤

I used to play this a lot

Blast from the past!

What a useful experience

SC4 is amazing especially considering it's now more than 20 years old. In some ways, it's still better than C:S2.

Love this game to death

Simcity 4 original game basic Yes ! Vanila play without any cheats Yes Refined, No but that takes time and patinence ! Rural setup it´s Ok as its relatively flat forgiving mayor incosictencies ! Not bad for a quick let´s play !

Def suceeded! Love the tow n❤

could you link the cc you used in this build? or will continue to use if it becomes a series?

Better looking than CS2

You'll get my views if you start a series

Last SimCity game I played was SimCity Societies. It just killed the entire franchise for me, not to mention it seriously damaged the reputation of the developer, Tilted Mill.

Das beste SimCity was es gab... Und immernoch das unangefochten beste city builing game... schade das sim city 5 kacke war und CS 2 nicht das erwartet großartige sequell geworden ist

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!

Your town is polluted, unsafe and unhealthy; your mayor rating is tanked and you're running a deficit. 0/10

They Just dont make games like they used too🥲

SimCity 4 will always hold a special place in my heart. Bless those who are still contributing to the modding and asset community to this day

Great video and a lovely town! 🙂

Way to make me feel old... I played th first simcity, when I was like 12 or something? Simcity 4 was already an adult gaming experience for me. And I played a lot of that game.

Being able to specify which road buildings spawned onto is sorely lacking these days.

Such a memorable,I have play in map name Timbuktu,and my younger brother destroy my computer 😂😂😂

Most nostalgic thing about this video to me is the music. That old jazz was good. Also amazing to me that farms just look so much better... like seriously CS2 dropped the ball on them.

Please!!! More Simcity 4!! I love this game

When the "Old Dog" gives me more feels than the "New Kid on the Block"..love to see those little details in SimCity 4..this brings me back to my teen years playing it, fantastic! A few more episodes would not hurt..OK lets go!

You can zone anywhere. Roads do not break up zones in sim city. Loved that. Simtropolis. SimGoober man he did some awesom assets and Pegasus also.

My first Sim City game was the one to the Super Nintendo back in 1991. I loved that game. Since then I have played Sim City 2000, 3000 and 4. Than Sim City lost its charm I think and Cities Skylines took over.

I started on Sim City 2000...way back in the day

God this fucking game's music BANGED SO HARD.

Обязательно продолжи эту серию по симсити 4 Пусть будет несколько городов в SimRegion

I started playing city building games with SimCity 3000... After that: SimCity 4, SimCity 4 + Rush Hour, Cities XL, Cities XL Platinum, and then Cities Skylines. Until today, I miss a city building game with the immersive and enjoyable experience that through the whole time of gameplag that SimCity 4 had (with or without the Rush Hour expansion pack). Even though it used to crash a lot (and piss me off 😂), the only reason I don't play it anymore is because I couldn't manage to install it via the CDs I still have in my PC. It's not the most technically correct, it's not the most advanced, but it still has the best experience ever. Soundtrack, aesthetics, how we could watch our city evolving etc.. I hope some day they manage to create something like that again.

How do you get it to run reliably on a modern system? I got it through Steam and it just crashes constantly.

YES - I would love to see more Sim City 4 content!

поиграй в City Xl platinum😆

The music in this game was always top notch. Still brings me back to childhood

Those were times 😁

you better start a modded series for sc4 or else i'll un-builder your city

This music brings back fond memories. Thank you.

I haven't played SC4 much, but damnd I always loved this artstyle. Your town looks great.

Man I loved this game as a kid, I loved it so much I collected basically every PC version of sim city and almost every sim game. Cities skylines is much easier to play but I still play sim city 4 at least once a year. Just to get that feeling

I started with Sim City 2000. I mainly loaded the prebuilt cities to send giant alien monsters to destroy them, but I mean... I was 8 years old so that was far more interesting than struggling to build and understand. LOL

The US suburban culdesac mazes are economically speaking better due to less road to maintain and more space for buildings in places were there would have otherwise been road, but in terms of urban design and basically every other factor for a modern city it's just bad design because it creates traffic via focring all cars to use a few big roads, as well as making walking more difficult and lethal between different neighborhoods when the collector roads connecting the different maze networks or culdesacs being so big out of the necessity created by forcing all cars to use a few select roads

My God, twenty years old. how many hours I could spend with this game. one of the first loves for citybuilding

Fightthepower, weaknesspays, howdryiam 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Great times.

I think, it´s in my DNA: EVERY City start´s with Canalisation. 6 Tiles from the Edges. Every 13th. a new Pipeline, squared over the whole Region. 😂 Then lean back for an hour or so, imagine wich Character every Segement could have. No cloning. I love this game😍

Mein absolutes Lieblings-Kindheits-Spiel zusammen mit Rollercoaster Tycoon

My journey started with SimCity 2000. I know, I’m an oldie. But man did I enjoy SimCity3000 and SimCity 4. So much good stuff. And then SimCity (2013) happened. So I guess we have to thank EA for ruining Maxis, which let to a gap in the market. And tadaaa, that gave us CitiesSkylines 😅

Did you ever play Transport Tycoon Deluxe? There's another game which has similar vibes - Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic. Would love to see a few Impuratur style Republics!

Germans: Everything was better in the old days. Americans: Between which years? And be careful on your answer. 😂 I’m kidding, great videos as usual.

Cities skylines 2 could have used inspiration from this lol 😂

If you can make something this good without scratching the surface, what will you build in a deep dive? Already subscribed and awaiting the series :)

what a nice looking town. i would live there proudly.

i remember when i first played this game back in 2010 i blew my budget on hospitals not knowing how to play the game. now i crash my pc with 1000 mods and millions of people in a region lmao still fun after 14 years

I want Sim City 4 Music mod For Cities Skylines 😅

Yeah, still have the disc around here...sadly I cant play it anymore. Thanks Windows 10😑

I still like this more than CS1/2. Amazing how nobody has been able to outdo a 20 year old game

Vai jogar Trópico 6 e Workers & Resources Soviet Republic?

I still play this game on a regular basis, you should start a series with mods, the game just got its latest NAM update.

"and you had no clue how f'd the world was" HAHAH! Yup

Uhh... Mr. Fancy played Simcity 4 DELUXE...

This game still be very cool but ea abandoned franchise of SimCity

I know I have the game on disc yet but have no drive to play it! LOL

This was a trip down nostalgia lane ^_^ I wouldn't mind another one
