SimCity 4 Deluxe

SimCity 4 Deluxe

The big question-is it worth it?
The game looks nothing like the new and glossy simcity however I do understand that it was made in 03. The new one is too much money for me right now but this one is well under budget. However no matter how under budget it is isn't the question. Is the game worth picking up or should I just save my 5 bucks?

I am also considering this game. I played the SimCity for SNES, and I loved it. The only thing I am worried about is the difficulty curve. Is it so monstrous that I wouldn't find any enjoyment in it?
I had this Game be4 it was on Steam & from what I recall...
The Driving was really Hard for me.<--But, other than that...
I don't think there's much of a "Diffculty Curve."

to the point that it is a wonder it ever got released in that state -,

Because it had to run on a 500Mhz Pentium III. At the time, the Developers actively encouraged the community to change the parameters that forced the game to find better routes because EA bigwigs wouldn't let them. The NAM's revisions alone increase that requirement to at least a 2.5Ghz Northwood Pentium 4 (Estimation, we haven't actually run it on a period system), which was a significantly more expensive chip at the time.

I hate EA since 2008. This game was the last best thing they did apart from The Sims 2. Is this a good game? Yeah it's the best Sim City ever made. This is quality over shine before EA turned into shine over ♥♥♥♥. That is the simple truth.

Edit: I hate to sound like a troll, but I'm not going to sacrifice the truth becuase someone might think I'm trolling.

Pretty much agree to this. EA was not as bad back in the early 2000s compare today what I remembered.

I'm glad you ended up buying the game. It really is fantastic. I bought it on launch in 2004 and have reinstalled it and geeked out hard various times in the last decade.

As for your income problem, some tips:
Don't try to grow too fast. Build your city in 'sections.' By section, I mean: a relatively small, contained, mini-city. As you develop each section and it's economically viable, then you can expand it with another section. Notice that the city buildings, like hospitals, schools, etc, have a radius of influence. Build a purely residential district, and a purely industry district, roughly the same size, like about 10 city blocks by 10 city blocks. Don't build the separate districts too close to each other or you'll have propulation problems, however, building them too far from each other will cause mayor dissatisfaction. Once you have a nice tax base, start putting one of each type of city building so all the residential is covered, and then put some fire stations and police stations in your industry area (dirty industry is prone to fires and crime). If you can't afford the city buildings with the size of your districts yet, then make your districts bigger until you can. Try not to buy any city buildings if doing so will put you in the negative income trend. Then, sprinkle in some Commercial. Be light with it at first since it's not highly desired early on. Don't make a commercial district, but instead, put a few 3x6 or 4x6 chunks here and there, primarily where traffic is the heaviest. As your city starts to attract higher income class sims (due to clean air, good education, and comprehensive health coverage), commercial zones will grow faster. For your first few successful cities, don't get too hung up on effeciency or problems with traffic or polution. Once you got the hang of it, you can deal with those problems on brand new cities.

Have fun with it!

3 different people openly mentioned they pirated it (with only one saying they later bought it).

Humanity keeps getting worse..

People posting in this discussion are mostly cosidering a purchase. Does it really matter to you if they had previous experience with an illegal copy of the same game?
Currently this is the best Sim City Game available, I bought this on CD when it came out and will been getting that itch just recently to play SC4 again, Seriously best Sim City Game and totally forget about Sim City 2013 its just lame.

There is a part of history that was fun to know.

Provided your billing address lists Poland, you should get the Polish language files and have the game configured for Polish. However, keep in mind that very little custom content is made with most the continental European languages in mind.
I just bought the game ~3 hours ago. And it is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome! I can recommend it to you all. I'm actually a fan of Total War and Civilization. But this one is great, too. Just hard to understand at beginning.
