the very second I get to build a nutter butter factory for buying a nabisco product from any participating walmart I will buy 10 copies of this game

Just as a reminder. SimCity 4 is on sale on steam for $5 until 10 am (pst I think) today.

$5 for sim city 4 is a great deal for a great game. If you've never played it, try it. Even if you own Sim City 5, buy it, it has online(if you get the mod for it) and is a better game than sim city 5.

I'd pick it up again if the damn thing wouldn't crash for every dual card out there.

Offline mode will happen if enough people want it

Spoiler: show

SimCity could be getting a new ‘Classic Mode’ that allows for offline play, according to a new survey sent to gamers by EA.

Originally discovered by a Reddit user, CVG reports that the survey asks gamers what new features they’d like to see in the game moving forward.

‘Classic Mode’ is explained as follows, “In offline or online mode, play a single functioning city using cheats and unlocks allowing you to create the perfect city.”

More potential new features include:

Guilds
Bus and Street Car Lines
Bridge and underpass creator tool
Road and city name personalisation
One-way roads
Shared online events
Larger cities
A subway system
Terraforming
Co-op mode
Import The Sims
Military complex management
Crime syndicate management
A monorail
Cultural additions such as new museums

There are also hints of tools that will let players recreate elements of London. The survey reads, “Create a portion of London with Big Ben in your city, where you’ll always know when it’s time for tea. Includes Double Decker Bus Terminal that cuts down on traffic with their larger passenger capacities.”

But... But.... I thought it was built from the ground up to require online play. They pulling a MS, but Unfortunantly it's too late for this game

**Lucavi** · 2013-07-05 11:39

And for EA.

**djzombie** · 2013-07-06 07:12

called it. shit gets crackef, time for offline mode.

**dejet** · 2013-07-06 07:22

Willing to bet their sales dropped fat after all the people who where fanboys/waiting a decade bought it.

I still won't buy it till it's under ten dollars in a few years. Screw you EA

Not sure if anyone cares, but the new update seems interesting. Shit that should have been there from the start, etc., but I will still probably boot it up again to give it a go.

SimCity update 7.0 is scheduled to arrive in a city near you (that you created) in August, and it's bringing some traffic updates along for the ride. Update 7.0 adds the ability to raise and lower roads to build bridges and tunnels, as demonstrated by Lead Gameplay Scripter Guillaume Pierre.

The update also allows players to plant trees. This mechanic is inspired by a mod, and includes three tree types that grow roadside and four that can flourish anywhere, Pierre says in a series of tweets. The greenery joins asphalt-based operations improvements outlined by Software Engineer (and Captain?) Alexander Harkness in a recent SimCity blog post.

I might fire it up to kill some time here soon but I can't believe the traffic updates have taken so long and/or weren't in the game from the start (like you said).

Did they ever come out with the offline mode? I forgot about this game, lol.

**Lucavi** · 2013-10-16 22:51

Not yet.

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2013-10-16 23:29

At the comic-con panel they said the same shit that's been going around--"we're looking into it!".

not looking into it very hard considering its already been accomplished and widely distributed

**Deftscythe** · 2013-11-26 07:14

Does this game still suck?

**Lucavi** · 2013-11-26 09:35

Still has the big three:

1) No Offline
2) No bigger plots
3) DLC up the wazoo.

Yeah, I'd say it still sucks.

Now supports mods, as long as you adhere to Maxis' rules

SimCity now supports mods, providing all mods created adhere to guidelines set forth by Maxis. The gist is this: don’t mess with the multiplayer or foul up the integrity of the gameplay; keep it ESRB E10+ and PEGI 7; don’t use copyrighted material; and remember that the SimCity EULA and EA’s ToS “supersede these rules,” according to PC Gamer. Meanwhile, in post a on the SimCity forums, the firm reiterated it’s still looking into offline mode for the game.
