They said it couldn't be done, until they saw it with their own eyes... RIP Loser City 2000-2258
"defunding the fire dept Just until there's a fire" is really so devious it made me think about real world politics for a sec. then i got over it
I've played SimCity 4 for YEARS and have never seen some of these phenomenon - potholes, tanks on the streets, emergency vehicles destroying things... incredible.
Man this game really holds up, graphics- and UI-wise
Man I love how he just made pretty much night city from cyberpunk in sim city at one point no taxes, gambling, military, supervillains. Pretty much the same.
I love that you went for 0 taxes in this 0 money challenge. It just seems fitting. And it was only slightly disastrous! 😄
This playthrough reminded me of a real-world town that decided to go 0 taxes/budget for services, and they too had similar problems with roads. Also they had black bears instead of fires
I love this video because it’s just as ludicrous as the other real things you can do in the game. In sim city 3000 my go-to thing was to build a straight line road with the farthest point away from the main city be the city dump and the super max prison. Then I put all my money into building insane amounts of hydro pumps and connecting them to other cities ( which were obligated to accept the deal ) after the first few years you’d eventually gain so much money it was never worth it to play any other way
SimCity 3000 had a bulky strategy guide that literally taught you to do this to "cheat". Run a city into the red, get all the Business Deal buildings, start deals with neighboring cities for power, water, and garbage services, and then let the city run overnight on the fastest speed. When you got back, just demolish them and you'd have basically infinite cash, have unlocked all the stuff you couldn't get until like 2050, and due to the way the game modeled land value increases over time, have really high values everywhere.
I remember that when you built the "Federal Prison" it would make it so you didn't need to have your own separate prisons. So I'd usually get that one on purpose so I wouldn't have to worry about jails later on.
You created an libertarian paradise, toxic waste included. I love it
Something about ambiguous's smooth, melodical voice and his on point narration that fills up my soul with joy.
I don't think people realized how tedious that 1st million dollar was. How you have the conviction and consistency to not just stop halfway and do another easier video is beyond me haha.

Blowing the radiation clouds at the gamblers with the turbine was hilarious
I loved this game and played it all the time when I was younger. I was never very good, but I still tried. The one thing I remember thinking was how awful it was that the military base was seen as a negative and would drive up pollution and crime. I enlisted in the Army and after I was sent to my first duty station, Fort Hood, it started making a lot of sense.
You basically created the Sierra Madre by slapping that gamblers den next to the toxic landfill

“My patrons give me all the cash I need to throw out the windows of my limousine. If I HAD a limousine” had me CHOKING
20 years later and I still play this game. One of my favorite Sims games to EVER be released. In my opinion, this game does not age. The graphics still hold up very well today. I'll continue playing this for the next 20 years. Lol.
