Originally it was always online, as EA claimed that the background simulation required cloud processing to work. Visiting each island meant saving, quitting, reloading. But the game isn't really designed to function like that, and the links between islands would break down while the other ones were idle. I had an industrial one where I'd send all my garbage and generate power, and another one for a luxury holiday island. It's meant to be played with a group of players managing separate tiny cities on a larger map, and I tried that once but getting a group together was difficult back then - impossible now.īecause building space runs out so quickly, I started creating separate cities of my own to service the main one. Sim Town/Village would be a more accurate title. The problem that made me (and probably most of its player base) abandon it after a while is that the cities you can create are absolutely tiny. I played it a lot when it first came out, it has a really good interface, it's fun to play and it looks great. I assumed it had been discontinued, since it's the game that effectively killed the Sim City brand. The game is compatible with OS X 10.8.5 or later.I had no idea they'd done any expansions for this (the complete edition). Players who incur issues with the game are told to head over to.

Capping an erupting volcano might save your city, or it might reroute lava down busy city streets,” says Aspyr. “But while each click of the mouse can create, it has equal capacity to destroy. The all-new SimCity lets players sculpt mountains, dig riverbeds, seed forests, and do all the neat metropolis stuff they could do before and see the impact of their decisions immediately.
