Honestly, while they are the same in overall, 10,000 foot concept, they are wildly different games.
SimCity was a resource manager and city planning game.
City Skylines is a traffic manager.
This is the hill I will die on.
- ascagnel_ 4y agoSkylines isn't even a very good traffic manager (the Cities in Motion games that came before it are much better in that regard) -- it's a good city _builder_, but not a good city _simulator_.
- orwin 4y agoYou have mods that greatly increase the difficulty, and make the simulation way better than simcity4. And traffic is working the way we European think traffic works in the US. Although to be fair the dlcs improved that quite a lot (not enough Pol Sim, but I understand why)
- JohnFen 4y agoThis. City: Skylines doesn't fill the same niche as SimCity.
- Asooka 4y agoYou won't die alone, I'm with you on this one. I've said before I wish I could play Cities Skylines with the agent simulator replaced by the purely statistical model from Sim City. Though thinking about it again, maybe it could be modded in...
