who cares, city builders are for autistics

Why not both?

Sim City 4 isn't a poorly coded piece of shit so...
>>342623087
>tfw every time i try and make a nice looking town, i end up making gridshit
>>342623308
I realy liked the ugrade system in sim city5, its a shame that the building lot had a restricted size. Not to mention that the gams was designed to be multiplayer only. Real shame the game could have been 10/10 with proper mod support
>>342623087
Gameplay > graphics
>>342623087
Every time I play Cities: Skylines my game has some ugly ass blue fog that ruins how the game looks. Yours doesn't seem to have that though, how?
I like SC5..
>>342621831
I loved SimCity 4. Never tried Citied Skylines.
>>342621831They're both fun
>>342623308
Oversimplified kiddie crap.
>>342624848
There's literally a mod called fog remover
>>342624848
There is an option in the game to change filters, also in the game farms dont look like that I had to mod them. Also thats not my game its from reddit, I just copied his mods
>>342623404
that town has nice connecting roads but in between its still grids.
its just the most effective way to build the town
i have a nice looking town but getting around takes forever because the road layout isnt practical at all
i dont give a fuck tho it looks nice
>>342621831
There is no contest here. Skylines wipes the floor with SimCity 4.
Now, if it was SimCity3000 Unlimited, it would be a much different story.
3000 unlimited
>>342625476
>>342625994
Is it really that good?
>>342626352
Not really. SKylines is better
The answer isthey're both good
>>342621831
cities is what SC5 should have been
SC4 is a superior simulator. If you want to make your pretty map paintings in Skylines, go ahead. But nothing will match the robustness of SC4 + NAM (inb4 mod criticism in a comparison, city builders need modding to thrive so we might as well discuss popular mods as defacto game features) region play.
>>342621831
SimCity for better simulation but more limited mechanically (curved roads are a bitch, mods are harder to implement)
Skylines for slightly weaker simulation HOWEVER it is agent based, easier to mod with more modding potential, it's also full 3D.
All that being said, if you are a hardcore city building autist and are willing to spend days downloading props and dependencies and then placing those said dependencies to create a pretty but-nonfunctional city, then you will be able to do a lot more with SC4 than S:C

What is this?
Looks pretty.
>>342629969
That's Sim City 4.
off topic but is there any way to play any sims game on ps4?

sim city skylines no question

>Having to hunt for literally thousands of 10 year old, no longer supported modds, BATs and dependencies so your cities can look good.

How do I get my SimCity4 to look like this?
>>342631230
see
>>342630904
then place every single one of those road segments, bushes, rocks, trees, and even some of the buildings by hand
>>342631603
As if Skylines dosen't have hand placed mod objects.
I really like the isometric view and look of Sim City 4, but on the other hand Cities Skylines has loads of features Sim City is missing.
Atm. Sim city 4 has 525 hours, but skylines is slowly catching up to it and I havent played 4 in ages.
Could I have Skylines with isometric 3d view and aesthetics of modded Sim City 4?
I like that skylines got rid of the region feature and just giving you a really big map to play with. It always felt so wrong to manage a bunch of different cities that were out of sync timewise.
But for individual cities I think SC4 looks a lot better and has better mechanics.
>>342631972
I think there's an isometric mod for skylines, and there's sure to be LUTs that resemble SC4
>>342631603
>>342630904
>acting as if finding SC4 mods is a pain or remotely difficult
Honestly, you're on the wrong website, ledditkiddie
Make Skylines Optimized
>>342623087
What mods?
to bad cities is EZ mode compared to sc4, there's just no real challange
>>342633734
Yeah I agree
The only real challenge is trying to work around the completely abysmal traffic AI
What other building themes do you want to see in Skylines?
>You will never be able to import your SC4 city into a newer game like City Skylines.
Are there modpacks for SC4? I can't find anything. I used to have oldshoe's but I cannot find it on the internet anymore.
>>342633862
I would say that's a substantially bigger challenge than SC4 which comes down to "you can coast forever as long as you don't overbuild police education and healthcare early"
The difference is one had pros and cons while the other just had cons
>>342634593
Ain't no mod packs here. Go to Simtropolis or Sc4Devotion and pick and choose what you want
>>342623308
I actuallyboughtthe complete edition in an Origin sale, every minute playing it reminded me of SimCity Societies.
It's visually nice, but shitty gameplay.
>>342630151
Looks like a military RTS map from the early 2000's
In Sim City 4, the easiest way to get ahead was to put a polluting industrial city, and connect it to the map edge so that you could then make a clean pristine city with immediate job access. Maybe it's a cheaty way to go, but it worked. How does Cities Skylines compare?
>>342621831
Sim City 4 obviously, Skylines is a traffic sim with shallow city building tacked on.
>>342623404
>tfw want to make something aesthetically pleasing but end up making onionshit
>>342623404
Try building on a map that's all fucked up and hilly and has a bunch of rivers and shit. Limitations breed creativity.
Skylines, obviously
question about SimCity 4
if I want to use NAM, do I have to use a legit copy? if so, what's the one I should get? Steam or Origin version?
Both are good, but they have problems on their own. SimCity 4 still has bugs and run like shit on newer systems, and you still depend on mods to fix it. Cities Skylines basically works out of the box and looks nice, but even with lots of micromanagement it doesn't feel as deep as SC4.
I just wish that you could micromanage individual schools and hospitals budgets like you could with SC4.
>>342633734
Download some hard mode mods
>>342636779
Nah, just download Deluxe and install the latest patch.
If you want to buy it, buy the Steam version. The Origin one apparently is unpatched, you can't patch it and so it doesn't support most mods.
>>342636926
thanks m8
>>342623404
>>342636337
I usually intentionally make grids in sc4. I plan out a standard city block, with the most efficient use of space that give me dedicated zone blocks that are fixed are the maximum building size. All connected with subways to every corner of the map. All of this because sc4 unlocks certain building types based on population milestones. If I didn't care about squeezing in a huge population in a small space, I would probably play differently.
>>342637123
Oh yeah, forgot to tell you GOG is selling it too, "DRM-free".
>>342636235
>That railyard
you can't plop every type of building in skylines, therefore it's shit.
>>342638580
>you can't plop every type of building in skylines, therefore it's shit.
what?
>>342638580
M O D S
Does City Skylines let me summon tornadoes, meteors, and nuclear disaster on my city?
>>342639547
no mods let you plop every building. I looked.
>>342639714
No, but you can flood your city
So which one is better for someone who wants to enjoy a city builder but can't get too deep into mechanics? I have issues with my memory so I have trouble learning anything more than surface-level mechanics in games.
>>342642507
Stick with SimCity classic then.
Or SimCity 2013, can't go wrong with that.
>>342642507
Do you enjoy managing traffic?
If not, avoid Skylines
>>342625476
how was sim city 3000 better than 4?
Isometric >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3d
