Use the morning and evening toggle on the traffic data map to check routes to and from workplaces.Įlevated Rail is much cheaper than Subways. Just because you’ve laid onramps and offramps to get somewhere, doesn’t mean the route the other way is working. Use these transitions to avoid the large amount of space required for onramps and overpasses.Ground Highways are much cheaper than Elevated Highways.Keep in mind that highways have directionality to them. You can also do this with onramps and overpasses.Highway end pieces now transition smoothly to avenues. Once placed, drag highways to connect to these larger pieces. Transportation Highwaysīecause you can now plop Cloverleafs and T-intersections before drawing any highways, you can use them to plan out your new highway system. These guides have been transcribed here and are recommended reading for all players. Keep reading, this gets interesting.The official SimCity 4 website originally contained helpful guides authored by Maxis, which went into great detail about many different concepts of the game. This game was a cosmetic improvement over SC2K, but tons more micro management features that made it unplayable to me at that age. SC3K did offer better graphics and new full 3D rendering of the city you once new and loved. Perhaps in 1997 I wasn't old enough to do it. It introduced so many new features that were very hard to control all at the same time. Sim City 3000 was a major let down to me. With all these new game play options, it was a huge success. You could specify high or low density zones, and the sizes. The game also offered more zoning options that before. The graphics of SC2K were greatly improved (256 colors) and the game switched to an isometric view. I remember that your budgets weren't that important, but that your city would develop faster and you could bring in more cash. Yet, there was a sense that you could just nearly macro manage it. You had to be good at understanding how complex things could get in a city. Sim City took a major revolution in 1993 when Sim City 2000 came out. The first game gave you a top view of a city, and fine micro management not present.
No one thought this game would be a hot seller, but it was. Back then, nearly all games were trying out the Doom type of play (which was around that time). Even though I was young, I'd sit there for hours playing this game. When I started playing it, it was pretty simple. After we got our first 486, we had to search for something that would keep me occupied! The game actually came with the system we bought.
The history of Sim City started in the late 80's. Maxis (owned by EA) now hopes to take the once humble city simulator into the big time of today's gamers. Sim City (classic) was an amazing game, way ahead of its time. Since the first Sim City, I have always loved to take control of a city and make it flourish (or fail).
