Do you think Cities Skylines is the new Sim City 4?

[Inverse Effect]

I kinda think it is. Sure the game is less then a month old, but i think given patches, a few expansions and loads of user content, i think Skylines has a lot of long term life involved in it.

I'm still kinda undecided. I prefer the graphics and building variety in SC4 but that should get better with time as new buildings for CSL are created. Other things I miss from SC4 are street naming, auto-streets, the route query tool, etc.
But there's plenty I like about CSL and think that with future patches and mods this will hopefully become the clear winner in time.

Quick question about Sim City 4. I never play it with mod so my question is with mod, did the vehicle stop disappearing? That was my one beef with SC4 and a gamebreaking one at that. Never play SC 3000 Unlimited so I can only go on comparing this to SC4. I'm think of buying SC 4 if there is a mod that prevent traffic or cars from disappearing like this game. Thanks

If you get NAM it comes with a traffic configuration tool to make it so that cars don't disappear.

Darn, I didn't have access to internet back then. What is NAM if you don't mind me asking?

No, Sim City 4 is better, more fun to play..

This is just your opinion and doesn't state what is a fact

You asked for opinions! Or do you only accept opinions that aline with yours?. Another kid on Steam.

You can still google it :P

"The Network Addon Mod, or NAM, is a modification for SimCity 4 Deluxe (or SimCity 4 with the Rush Hour Expansion pack), which adds a myriad of new transport network items, ranging from ground light rail, to fractional-angle roads, to roundabouts, and much more. It also includes bugfixes to Maxis items and a highly optimized set of traffic simulator plugins, improving pathfinding accuracy and performance."

Oh yes I have heard about that, didn't know NAM was it abbreviation. How does this affect the agent system? It just weird that It took Skyline for me to even ask this question. I'm getting excited now!

Doesn't seem to be fix according to this forum. http://community.simtropolis.com/topic/26500-appearingdisappearing-cars/

Cities skylines is probably the city builder game we've all been waiting for sinc SC4.

When Sim City 4 came out, EA / Maxis marketed the hell out of the 'automatons' ; It was the first time there were interactive people/cars walking around in the city and I always wanted to see more of it.

The MySims 'feature' was a waste as it was mainly just a cheap tie in to the Sims.

Cities Skylines solves both; as we now have full fledged Sims livings out their lives, up to a million of them, with no fudged numbers. It's realyl quite impressive.

The moddability day 1 is a bonus. The game is only out 2 weeks. Only 1.5 patches, no DLC no expanded content yet.

I think Skylines is going to be an insanely replayable game in the years to come. C.O. and Paradox have my attention and this coming from me, who is usually a big booster of genre leading games. ( I prefer Civ5 to EU and up until a few years ago anything other than Sim City was a knock-off), but after SC2013 I'm totally in the 'anything but Sim City camp' EA can go die in a fire.

Now let's hope 2K don't ♥♥♥♥ up Civ6.

no way...it is simcity 5!

[Dexter]

^ lol awesome. true.

[jello]

Skylines is not the new SC4. It's next level, literally
