I need more Sim City.

Part of me hopes they are secretly working on a sequel. Part of me is terrified of what that sequel will look like after years of The Sims and Spore.

I had to let it go. I lost a good chunk of my life to SimCity 4. It's not a good thing to get into if you have symptoms of OCD. It stopped becoming a game (which is never really was to begin with) and just an outlet for obsessive compulsive tendencies. The problem is that the game is never over. It's simply a creative thing with no reward or closure. It's pointless.

I'd be happy to see an updated Simcity 4, really.

Autosave.
Smarter zone parceling, smarter traffic pathing
Capacity tweaks, bug fixes (opera house, job capacity, less crashing)
More high-capacity buildings - water sanitation, bus stops, recycling centers, etc.
Optimization: If I build a huge city, my computer lags. Game is from early 2003. My hardware is from late 2009.

I really think that they did SC4 right. It just needed more of what it already had, and polished better. If there could be just one extra feature I'd want, it'd be more mass transit controls - adding more trains to a line, expanding existing stations, earning higher-capcity/high-speed trains, etc.

Much higher capacities but with placement limits would be welcome, too; At "endgame", I keep on getting pushed into having a subway station on every other block to address traffic problems. Using hub-spoke with the subway and bus stops doesn't work well because the subway hits overcapacity 2-3 stops in, so it ends up being subways all the way down. (And NAM doesn't work for me in modifying capacities for some weird reason…)

Yeah same here. I hope they introduce the ability to walk around the city and drive the cars GTA3/4 style rather than that SC4 tacked on bit. I want to be able to build a good sized rural town and then burn it down in a rampage with a flamethrower and a hummer.

I'd love to see SimCity 5 incorporate online play kind of like spore, being able to connect your cities to other people cities- creating a massive online city network.

Cities XL 2011 looks promising. They're improving a lot over the original. More building variety, and transit options. I hope it pans out, but it doesn't release until October. It seems like they're the only ones even trying to bring about a true city-builder anymore.

No, my good douche: I'm cutting you off.

Any more and you'll fall into a timesink so deep it'll take centuries to reach your timed kick!

Tropico 3.

Sim City on Caribbean Islands. Beautiful, hilarious, and fun.

Indeed its almost a decade without another game. I made a angry post about it a while back as well...

I'm looking forward to CityOne by IBM. It's not the traditional City Simulator but it looks pretty fun.

I am out of games. I use to play SC3 all the time. I have not touched SC4 is it good? What mods do you suggest? Is there a guide?

Simcity 4 actually has a pretty awesome mod community(Click on the LEX and create an account), with mods for realistic seaports, a more realistic traffic simulator, tunnel-makers, and generally a lot of shit that makes your city really have character. Unfortunately installing them is neither fast nor intuitive. It's worth it, though.

Sim City: Blade Runner Edition

Any word on how this http://www2.citiesxl.com/ is now that the stupid MMOCBG functions were neutered?

Oh and apparently a sequel is coming out, I wonder what it could be if they didn't spend a year working on the stupid planet offer and just focused 100% on city building. I really just want a good city planner/traffic planner game, I love creating efficient road structures. I really just want sim city with curved roads and better graphics.

I want my curved roads. :(

Simcity Socities wasn't really a 'Simcity' game, it was to SimCity what MySims is to The Sims. It's all about personalization and self-expression, not simulation. ^{.^;;}

I don't think they're working on a new SimCity though, which is kind of sad. There are some other city simulators out there but I don't know if any of them are really good, or the good ones aren't really like SimCity. I love Tropico 3 but it's NOTHING like SimCity.

Try Cities XL. It's not by the same people who made SimCity, but's its a more modern version and almost as good.
