So I've begun to eyeball this game again (getting bored of everything else I've got, apparently). Has anyone installed After Dark? Anyone still playing this?

*edit* And apparently, there's a new $12.99 expansion coming out on February 18th, called Snowfall. It's probably a really good time to pick this game back up!

I really like it and has lots of community support, After Dark was a nice new layer of gameplay but it severely broke some mods (like first person camera) that never gets updated, but aside that if you like city building, it's definitely worth getting into. It definitely rode on the coattails of Sim City being a flop in a way for its initial popularity, but the support after made it definitely a game to get. If you liked their Cities in Motion series as well it's basically like a combination of the two, but not AS in depth as CiM.

Buy this game. It has flaws, but it is the best city building game on the planet, without a doubt. The sweeping majority of issues can be fixed via mods, which the devs support while still making new content.

I did buy the game! I'm just debating whether or not to give it another round of attention. I never got After Dark, and there's a new expansion coming on Feb. 18th, so I think I'll give it another go.

This close to the new expansion I'd say to just be careful with which mods you go for, and only aim for ones that have very active development as you can be sure any issues will be fixed relatively quickly. That or simply wait a couple weeks and start modding after the expansion goes live.

The game is great without them of course, but many of them will undoubtedly change the game for the better. I don't think I could handle playing it these days without things like Network Extensions Project, City Vitals Watch, etc

I could use a nice big list of awesome mods to try out. >_>
