Possibly the greatest city builder ever made, very hard to find a similar sim game today with such pretty visuals and details. It is IMPERATIVE that you download the community patches to make it run fine since this was made for 2003 computers,if you don't do it, it will crash every x minutes want it or not, this is unavoidable! You also have to be patient and be consistent building cities of course, and use the whole neighbor dynamic to have good growth and skyscrapers easier.
With the patches and mods like NAM, this game won't ever crash or give you any headaches AT ALL! many people complain about this in the reviews and it's easy to fix, plenty of guides and simple tutorials on how to do this. The community for this game is very much still alive and there's HUGE amounts of content you can download. Check out Simtropolis and its Reddit.

Better than Cities Skylines 2 in 2026! So much more depth, and even though it's not the 'cutting edge 3d' visuals, it has a whole lot more charm.

Download the "4 GB Patch" (NTCore website) and the NAM Lite Mod (Search for sc4nam) and you're golden, no crashes so far!
