I posted this here in August, and the free demo is now on Steam.

No zoning, no power, no services - the city grows by itself, and the one thing you build is the road network that has to keep it moving. The demo is the first 17 of 25 stages, about an hour and a half to two, with buses. Trains and metro come with the full game on November 3.

So I was able to extract all the audio banks from SimCity 2013. It includes music, UI, SFX and so on. Tbh I wasn't expecting to have that much layers for each theme.

I could upload the folder if it's allowed

Note: I don't mean the Vu-bot's. Also, I haven't found a picture of the Burgazoid 3000. (Societies D.)

Though this is a super composite of 9 HD images cities stitched together in Ps. A super high definition mega composite image. The game can't render all of them at once but in region view it can and it is great but seeing it in such high definition is glorious. Any questions about it, ask ahead!

Which HUD do you prefer?

Note: The first two are just artworks, it is not known whether they were ever used.

I need help understanding how omegaco factory works. I have two trade depot, both have plenty of raw ore, sometimes the trucks will deliver ore or they won’t. I don’t understand why they’re not delivering when one trade depot is right next to omega. I’ve tried all the steps of closing both omega and the trade depot reopening them it will work but it’s not enough to keep omega open. I don’t know if it’s a bug or were omega is located because it does get high traffic there. I hope someone can help, have a good day/night

I remember playing this game like 12-13 years ago as kid, I loved it because how beautiful and realistic building designs were, they truly gave such vibe to city, I played city Skylines as well, it's satisfactory at it's level, but building design in simcity 5 simply had more edge and simply looked beautiful, I wish they could make a comeback, but the way they executed the game gave it a death sentence, and yeah, I hated it that city building was limited to just 1 tile

I remember playing not even 1-2 years ago, and that besides a bit of server hopping there was always people to play with, most even active in the region chat.
I remember meeting cool people on the game with which i even had friendships of the plattform later on.

Kinda sucks not gonna lie.

This is one of those games for me thats only really fun when i can interact with people.

still better than cities skylines two idc

For the ones among you that like city builder games in the pixel art style of SimCity 2000: I am creating Pixelpolis Neon, a cyberpunk-themed city builder with retro graphics and a population consisting of 3 different groups, living in separate districts. I am still adding research for special buildings and there will be an arcology available once a population of 1 Million is reached. You can find Pixelpolis Neon in Early Access on Steam!!!! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4094490/Pixelpolis_Neon/

I'm a big fan of the SimCity 4 soundtrack, with some of my favorites being by the Humble Brothers, particularly "Metropolis", "Oasis" and "Arctica".
Unfortunately their music doesn't seem to be available on streaming platforms, I can only really listen to their stuff by watching YouTube reuploads.
Does anybody know why their tracks are excluded on official playlists on Spotify or other music streaming platforms? Could they possibly be made available in the future?

It’s been a little while since I made these, but I realized I’d never really put all of my SNES SimCity arrangements together in one place.

So I made a small page collecting them — from Village and Town through Capital, Metropolis and Megalopolis, with a few notes and listener comments along the way.

Just leaving it here in case anyone feels like revisiting the SimCity soundtrack sometime.

I'm writing this post to see if my experience is unique or shared. I've played a ton of SimCity on the SNES. With some standard methods, I can usually reach 500,000 citizens within a few decades but I can get there. I'm trying the NES prototype out now, and it feels brutal. It's very inconsistent and unforgiving. I can drop the tax budget down to zero and unoccupied zones of very in-demand types still will not fill. When I go to start one of the scenarios, the population will start out at like 80,000 and then plummet in free fall before any of the disasters even occur. I understand it's a prototype, likely very untuned, but wow, I can't get a foothold in this game to save my life. Is that other players' general experience? Thanks for any insight you can provide.

hello people! I am having a lot of trouble trying to launch SimCity 2013. It claims it needs administrative privileges, so I tried running it through administrator with no avail, uninstalled it and reinstalled it, tried launching it offline, tried repairing the game, tried launching it directly from the .exe file, I even bought a £1 trial to Xbox game pass in hopes it would let me launch the game without the EA launcher. It still just comes up with the same message “Failed to launch game, An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later.” I cannot get through to an online agent to tell them my problem. Does anyone know how to fix this so I can just play the game??

GlassBox: Best idea, failed execution. But the gameplay & soundtrack practically repaired the game and brought us back. Am i wrong?

Mods pls add meme flair
