Have the ultimate level of control over your city's transportation network by completely taking charge of roads, rail, air, waterways, and even vehicles. U-Drive It! missions will be presented for you to solve, such as chasing down a bank robber or apprehending a car-jacker. Choose from all-new road types including wide-avenues, suspension bridges, or one-way streets, as well as map out seamless regional networks that whisk Sims from one city to another. Wreak havoc with all-new disasters including a UFO invasion, massive wrecks at railroad crossings, and the occasional car fender bender. There are also all-new tutorials available to help you get started.
For anyone who isn't familiar with the SimCity series or the art of city building, SimCity 4 can be a complicated game. I have played all the Maxis SimCity games, and SimCity 4 was the most complete and realistic one of them all. If you like creating elaborate transportation systems, be prepared to spend hours playing this game.
SimCity 4 remains a classic and beloved city-building simulation game for good reason. Its depth and complexity offer players a truly immersive experience in urban planning and management.
Here's why it's still worth playing in 2025:
Unparalleled Depth: SimCity 4 goes beyond simply placing buildings. It dives into intricate details like traffic management, utilities, and citizen happiness, requiring strategic thinking and problem-solving skills.
Regional Gameplay: The ability to create and manage entire regions of interconnected cities adds a layer of strategic depth that few other city-builders can match.
Modding Community: A dedicated modding community has kept the game alive with countless additions and improvements, ensuring fresh content and challenges for years to come.
Timeless Gameplay: Even with newer city-building games on the market, SimCity 4's core mechanics and engaging gameplay loop hold up remarkably well.
If you're looking for a challenging and rewarding city-building experience, SimCity 4 is a must-play.
SimCity 4 is the height of development for the series. No other SimCity game comes close to the complexity of interweaving regional and local management.
That said, I never played any of the mods. I hope GOG does a mod guide, I'd love to check them out!
I've been playing SimCity 4 since it came out over ten years ago, and I loved every second of it.
Don't let SimCity 2013 fool you where the size of the maps is the size of a farm, and overall a complete joke, this has real maps, and it's the real deal
Great to play and have fun with, not too much micromanagement but just enough to make it playable and fun. A great and large modding community even if the game is 10+ years old. Also it works as a terrain creator for The Sims 2 if you have that game as well!
