    I loved the challenging aspect behind the gameplay always encouraging expansion, densification, and diversification of industries, residential, and commercial areas, and associated services all whilst having to be cautious of your budget management.
    This game makes you work hard to earn that first skyscraper which only makes it that much more rewarding. CS2 and even CS1 don’t have this challenge to building a metropolis and CS2 even less so you can literally just paint an area and have 40, 50 story residential and office towers in minutes. It removes the “growth” aspect of building a city.

      Simcity 4 was an absolute era of my gaming life. I put so much time and effort into it.
      I recall even once spending hours in photoshop making my own greyscale map to import into the game to make my own island nation.
      The things that always frustrated me about SC4 were basically the things that Cities Skylines provided. While I feel alternatively, CS lacks some of the absolute struggle that SC4 provided. In SC4 you really had to work for a lot of stuff, and it wasn't easy to manage a lot of it.

    I really really really really would have loved the region view solution for Cities Skylines 2. While I'm not sure what's feasible, it would have been a perfect solution to the issue with region sizes.
    Simcity (2013) tried to do the region view but for some reason added buffers between cities, which I thought was strange.
    What a weirdly terrible way to ruin what is honestly the most underrated solution to max city sizes and simulations.

    My first Sim City game was the one to the Super Nintendo back in 1991. I loved that game. Since then I have played Sim City 2000, 3000 and 4. Than Sim City lost its charm I think and Cities Skylines took over.

    This brings back memories. I used to spend a lot of time on Simtropolis looking at people's cities, as they created them neighbourhood by neighbourhood. This was before CZcams existed. I even had my city in the discussion forum. I remember one region that someone built with many small towns and villages. That was amazing to see. I downloaded lots of mods, because I wanted everything to look even better. And the music brings back a lot of memories, too. I played SimCity 4 for countless hours. Loved the game, and I'd love to go back to it.

    The US suburban culdesac mazes are economically speaking better due to less road to maintain and more space for buildings in places were there would have otherwise been road, but in terms of urban design and basically every other factor for a modern city it's just bad design because it creates traffic via focring all cars to use a few big roads, as well as making walking more difficult and lethal between different neighborhoods when the collector roads connecting the different maze networks or culdesacs being so big out of the necessity created by forcing all cars to use a few select roads
