frequent random crashes like a bethesda game, an issue that isn't present when you run the hard copy/original game. EA clearly does not care to address it. Build up and start a city only for the game to crash and you lose everything, unless you remember to frequently save.

About This Game

SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition includes the bestselling SimCity 4 and the all-new SimCity 4 Rush Hour Expansion Pack. Create the most massive region of cities ever, with a farming town, bedroom community, high-tech commercial center, and industrial backbone. Take complete control of your city's transportation system, and solve U-Drive-It missions — from fighting crime to tackling disasters. Watch your population skyrocket as you get your Sims on the go and create the ultimate living, breathing megalopolis — the most expansive SimCity 4 compilation ever.
Features
- Create an Entire Region of Cities — Weave together a tapestry of cities linked by a fully integrated transportation network and watch them share and compete for resources.
- Wield God-like Powers — Sculpt the landscape to create a world based on your imagination, then summon volcanoes, tornadoes, meteors, and lightning.
- Be a Responsive Mayor — Build a world-class city with stadiums, airports, universities, and real-world landmarks. Deploy emergency vehicles and join in the action as they battle blazes, mobs, and more.
- Get Insight from Your Sims — Read the rhythm of the city, from commuter hell to mellow cruising, noon-time crowds to night-time calm.
Includes SimCity™ 4 Rush Hour:

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.
System Compatibility
SimCity was tested for performance and hardware compatibility when it was originally launched. While the classic gameplay of SimCity 4 remains unchanged, unexpected performance and graphics issues with newer systems may occur. If you experience any performance or graphics issues, we recommend running in Windowed Mode and/or Compatibility Mode to maintain the intended experience.Screenshots
User Reviews
Best city sim ever. Check out simtroptolis.com before playing though, because it needs a few (pretty simple) mods to work on a modern machine.

This is a legendary game, I played it when I was in my junior high and now I am neraly 35 and am playing it again! Still find it sooo fascinateing.
Old school game, old game interface and token low graphics, no 4k here but at the same time engaging and fun. for 5 bucks it is a steal.
Doesnt work well in mac. tried it and restarted but the icons cannot be clicked to play
Playing Simcity 4 for the first time makes me feel like a parent. Like a kid, you mess it up, try different things, mess that up too, try more, almost give up then google for help. 10/10 after you install bugfixes like NAM, SC4Fix, etc.
After playing for a while I can say that SimCity 4 is one of the greatest city builders ever. The graphics are nice, the soundtrack and sound design is amazing, and its packed with cool features! Its a real shame that SimCity 2013 killed this franchise off. Tip(s) for new players: If you're experiencing some buggy visual (like clouds or vehicles not showing up right), turn your rendering mode to "Software" in the games settings, it should fix it! Also, don't be afraid to look up some tutorials on YouTube to help you get started, this game has a lot of great features that aren't shown in the in-game tutorials, its also good because building a city can be difficult for someone not familiar with city-builders.
There's only maybe 3 games I've played my entire life and have not gotten bored of. This is one of them! The fact that the modding scene for this has had like, 5 renaissances is amazing too, and it's still alive and well so this game will have content til the day I die more than likely. <3
