Sim City 4 Deluxe was also my first City building game 😊 This game gives me so many loving memories ❤

[@imperatur]

Mine too:)

[@muadddib]

Daamn that intro unlocked some core memories

[@Wasbever_14]

Nah fr

[@eurosoe]

I’d be down for a series! I spent so much time playing this game.

[@imperatur]

Me too!!

[@rodimcgeesums633]

I loved the challenging aspect behind the gameplay always encouraging expansion, densification, and diversification of industries, residential, and commercial areas, and associated services all whilst having to be cautious of your budget management. This game makes you work hard to earn that first skyscraper which only makes it that much more rewarding. CS2 and even CS1 don’t have this challenge to building a metropolis and CS2 even less so you can literally just paint an area and have 40, 50 story residential and office towers in minutes. It removes the “growth” aspect of building a city.

[@mr.bluescreen965]

SimCity 4 will always hold a special place in my heart. Bless those who are still contributing to the modding and asset community to this day

[@Mathwayb]

Sim City 4 wasn't my first city building game, but it was one of my favorites. It has the best music of any that I have played!

[@imperatur]

The music is epic:)

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Great video and a lovely town! 🙂

[@imperatur]

Thanks Biffa ☺️

[@matthijsschreuder9904]

When the "Old Dog" gives me more feels than the "New Kid on the Block"..love to see those little details in SimCity 4..this brings me back to my teen years playing it, fantastic! A few more episodes would not hurt..OK lets go!

[@Rohanadarilin]

Way to make me feel old... I played th first simcity, when I was like 12 or something? Simcity 4 was already an adult gaming experience for me. And I played a lot of that game.

[@RaftermanNZ]

I really really really really would have loved the region view solution for Cities Skylines 2. While I'm not sure what's feasible, it would have been a perfect solution to the issue with region sizes. Simcity (2013) tried to do the region view but for some reason added buffers between cities, which I thought was strange. What a weirdly terrible way to ruin what is honestly the most underrated solution to max city sizes and simulations.

[@kamhiro9606]

I still want simcity5….

[@imperatur]

Yeah the one from the first trailer..

[@tobbakken2911]

@@imperatur The trailer actually looks very much like the game. The city sizes is small in that trailer too.

[@pieterwatson611]

Simcity 5 is a crap.

[@MartelSays]

Try Citystate, I think you'll like it

[@jimhearsonwriter]

Being able to specify which road buildings spawned onto is sorely lacking these days.

[@toddkirch613]

You can zone anywhere. Roads do not break up zones in sim city. Loved that. Simtropolis. SimGoober man he did some awesom assets and Pegasus also.

[@thisisnotthechannelyourelo407]

This was great! I'd love to see you fill out a region!

[@TheRafaelRamos]

Please!!! More Simcity 4!! I love this game

[@sayno2lolzisback]

I remember getting the original for my birthday and all my friends laughed at those building animations. They are most definitely still cool over 20 years later, regardless.

[@izuanijuhairi7840]

Such a memorable,I have play in map name Timbuktu,and my younger brother destroy my computer 😂😂😂

[@briankeirstead2234]

I started on Sim City 2000...way back in the day

[@johnnorthtribe]

My first Sim City game was the one to the Super Nintendo back in 1991. I loved that game. Since then I have played Sim City 2000, 3000 and 4. Than Sim City lost its charm I think and Cities Skylines took over.

[@SMole91]

I haven't played SC4 much, but damnd I always loved this artstyle. Your town looks great.

[@ad6350]

I have the same childhood for loving city builder than you... remembering when my grandfather buying me SC4 Deluxe at the local supermarket in 2005... great memories :)

[@Darude453]

Deine Geschichte könnte ich so fast 1:1 über mich erzählen. Lego City habe ich geliebt und natürlich Sim City 4! Als Cities Skylines rauskam, habe ich beschlossen etwas zu studieren, das in Richtung Stadtplanung geht. Also habe ich den Bachelor Geographie und Master Humangeographie gemacht und heute arbeite ich an der Schnittstelle zwischen Stadt- und Mobilitätsplanung :)

[@imperatur]

Geil!! Wär bei mir ähnlich gewesen hätte ich geographie durchgezogen aber ich war damals noch nicht reif genug zum studieren…

[@antalito3047]

My first city building was Sim City 3000 Special Edition🤗 I still love the music and the ambient sounds of them game, it was just so immersive. I really miss this from today’s games.

[@JayDeeMC]

This brings back memories. I used to spend a lot of time on Simtropolis looking at people's cities, as they created them neighbourhood by neighbourhood. This was before KZbin existed. I even had my city in the discussion forum. I remember one region that someone built with many small towns and villages. That was amazing to see. I downloaded lots of mods, because I wanted everything to look even better. And the music brings back a lot of memories, too. I played SimCity 4 for countless hours. Loved the game, and I'd love to go back to it.

[@ConnorEckdahl]

YES - I would love to see more Sim City 4 content!

[@shinkicker404]

Most nostalgic thing about this video to me is the music. That old jazz was good. Also amazing to me that farms just look so much better... like seriously CS2 dropped the ball on them.

[@Ace_of_spades221]

The music in this game was always top notch. Still brings me back to childhood

[@furtado.g_]

I started playing city games with SimCity 3000. But SimCity 4 Deluxe is by far the best one I’ve played in terms of game mechanics! The opening makes me wanna cry from joy and excitement… so many years playing SimCity 4, only good memories!

[@DumbellDJ]

Good memories! O how I hope some studio/developers come with a surprise announcement to do to Paradox/CO what Maxis was done to

[@nicholasorr6051]

Thanks for playing the SC4 intro clip - BIG nostalgia hit right there!

[@Status_Bleach]

Mein absolutes Lieblings-Kindheits-Spiel zusammen mit Rollercoaster Tycoon

[@AccountingRaiding]

God this fucking game's music BANGED SO HARD.

[@vladimirmijatovic4171]

This was a trip down nostalgia lane ^_^ I wouldn't mind another one

[@aryn32]

This music brings back fond memories. Thank you.

[@glyson]

This video made me feel a lot of good feelings. Thank you so much for playing SC4. I hope you find time to play it again ❤❤

[@stevevogt1653]

Still play the sountrack, double album, that music was so head of its time!

[@jamiec8096]

I really liked this game. I bought it on Steam in the middle of 2013. Last played sometime in 2019. Thinking of playing it again.

[@Somedude-he1gv]

"We have a little saying in germany that everything was better in the old days" that sounds abit wrong. Great video!

[@opalyankaBG]

SC4 is amazing especially considering it's now more than 20 years old. In some ways, it's still better than C:S2.

[@DevlinXIII]

That intro music, soo good!!

[@jsnotlout3312]

Man I loved this game as a kid, I loved it so much I collected basically every PC version of sim city and almost every sim game. Cities skylines is much easier to play but I still play sim city 4 at least once a year. Just to get that feeling

[@alessandroj5mm]

My God, twenty years old. how many hours I could spend with this game. one of the first loves for citybuilding

[@MR-wn6ln]

Please do a series! I was so obsessed with this game as a kid

[@bahadreyigun9644]

It was the computer game I played most when I was a kid. When I watched it now, I remembered the old days and I was very happy. Thank you

[@andimension]

Обязательно продолжи эту серию по симсити 4 Пусть будет несколько городов в SimRegion

[@laputab]

Sim City 4 Deluxe is the best with mod

[@BestGaming-uh3lz]

Cities skylines 2 could have used inspiration from this lol 😂

[@mrbunny4685]

this gave me so many memories man. i want a full series now untill you co complete the map lol

[@Helioscore1]

This was so awesome to watch. I say fill out the little region and then go back to CS2. Might have more to do by then. Also... That zoning freedom would be nice in CS2...

[@octagonstride491]

Still my favorite city builder. I have over 10 years in my custom sized region. It's awesome to see people play sc4 on KZbin.

[@bartoszbanasik2252]

Yes! Sim City 4 series is a great idea!

[@dustinmiller2345]

If you can make something this good without scratching the surface, what will you build in a deep dive? Already subscribed and awaiting the series :)

[@Saknika]

I started with Sim City 2000. I mainly loaded the prebuilt cities to send giant alien monsters to destroy them, but I mean... I was 8 years old so that was far more interesting than struggling to build and understand. LOL

[@Vibrioidpath948]

Looks perfect for a EF4 tornado to rip through 🥰

[@thadizzie1]

Im def down for a series of this... why not!

[@suddenshotty]

A series would be awesome! I used to love linking up many squares to make a huge metropolis.. add some traffic mods and other "Quality of Life" mods to bring it up to be a bit more modern!

[@AlikeRomel]

That nice ! Happy to rediscover the game ! I'm not against to see a small serie to see how you can manage the regional aspects of the game

[@Ondar007]

Those were times 😁

[@joeyeats2801]

I remember playing this game on my dads work laptop, I loved playing and it was really addictive. I just find the disappearing and appearing cars on the road annoying

[@jdjenk04]

Simcity 3000 and the simcity on the gameboy were my first introduction but man this one has all the hours sank into it

[@thisisnotthechannelyourelo407]

I can tell you that playmat was where it definitely started with me! 😂

[@Jitzie]

Did you ever play Transport Tycoon Deluxe? There's another game which has similar vibes - Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic. Would love to see a few Impuratur style Republics!

[@MDerJunge]

damn how good the zoning works

[@ulysseslee9541]

u can use Alt to change the zoning facing location, Ctrl to force a customize large size of zoned-area.

[@mrRickRoh]

Absolute nostalgia 😍

[@navedkhan5496]

This is very good, can you make a playlist videos of SimCity 4 from population 0 to 1 million

[@homeboyl2]

I still play this game on a regular basis, you should start a series with mods, the game just got its latest NAM update.

[@coleciervo5454]

I still like this more than CS1/2. Amazing how nobody has been able to outdo a 20 year old game

[@rohanhalle580]

Now I need to reinstall it. Funnily I always found it more engaging then Cities Skylines because you could start with rail for example and GodMode was awesome for painting a chosen landscape. A shame SC5 didn't really pick up where SC4 left off and more resembled SimCity Creator on the Wii.

[@joshgellock]

Blast from the past!

[@blaxlankoca2942]

i remember when i first played this game back in 2010 i blew my budget on hospitals not knowing how to play the game. now i crash my pc with 1000 mods and millions of people in a region lmao still fun after 14 years

[@merlinbreaud7379]

Damn, I forgot about those parks where you had to place trees by yourself...

[@lukash2155]

The animations are so good hopefully cs2 gets some updates the buildings themselves look great aswel maybe some mod comes to bring them in high def for cs2

[@nevinaght]

What a useful experience

[@richarddutton1981]

I've put abouit 100 hours into 'Cities' and i have to say, i still think SC4 is the best all around City Sim ever made honestly.

[@bigmaison]

For me that was simCity2000 and Anno ❤

[@pushkins26]

You just need to make a realistic region series now

[@joppe7219]

Love this game to death

[@alehaim]

The US suburban culdesac mazes are economically speaking better due to less road to maintain and more space for buildings in places were there would have otherwise been road, but in terms of urban design and basically every other factor for a modern city it's just bad design because it creates traffic via focring all cars to use a few big roads, as well as making walking more difficult and lethal between different neighborhoods when the collector roads connecting the different maze networks or culdesacs being so big out of the necessity created by forcing all cars to use a few select roads

[@KlavertjeOpReis]

My journey started with SimCity 2000. I know, I’m an oldie. But man did I enjoy SimCity3000 and SimCity 4. So much good stuff. And then SimCity (2013) happened. So I guess we have to thank EA for ruining Maxis, which let to a gap in the market. And tadaaa, that gave us CitiesSkylines 😅

[@asdasdwinner]

could you link the cc you used in this build? or will continue to use if it becomes a series?

[@maedero05]

Simcity 4 original game basic Yes ! Vanila play without any cheats Yes Refined, No but that takes time and patinence ! Rural setup it´s Ok as its relatively flat forgiving mayor incosictencies ! Not bad for a quick let´s play !

[@mil3ston3s]

Better looking than CS2

[@Status_Bleach]

Oh gott diese Musik Ich fange gleich an zu weinen

[@cirugo7042]

How do you get it to run reliably on a modern system? I got it through Steam and it just crashes constantly.

[@imperatur]

For me it never crashed Also have it on steam..

[@chrisw443]

“We have a saying in germany that things used to be better”. Hmmm. I dunno bout that one. Lol. 😂

[@jagnes632]

I know I have the game on disc yet but have no drive to play it! LOL

[@Lightndavoid]

You'll get my views if you start a series

[@ToyotaYaris-ft1ro]

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!

[@andimension]

поиграй в City Xl platinum😆

[@Gagagaga14444]

Vai jogar Trópico 6 e Workers & Resources Soviet Republic?

[@ZaxCal]

Germans: Everything was better in the old days. Americans: Between which years? And be careful on your answer. 😂 I’m kidding, great videos as usual.

[@jordani_war]

I want Sim City 4 Music mod For Cities Skylines 😅

[@jaquaviontaviousbonquequex9066]

you better start a modded series for sc4 or else i'll un-builder your city

[@Marzek_]

Uhh... Mr. Fancy played Simcity 4 DELUXE...

[@TheNodyme]

But is it really an sc4 city without a single Pedriana Farm?

[@TobSt4rGaming]

Das beste SimCity was es gab... Und immernoch das unangefochten beste city builing game... schade das sim city 5 kacke war und CS 2 nicht das erwartet großartige sequell geworden ist

[@FurTalles]

Yeah, still have the disc around here...sadly I cant play it anymore. Thanks Windows 10😑

[@jase_allen]

Last SimCity game I played was SimCity Societies. It just killed the entire franchise for me, not to mention it seriously damaged the reputation of the developer, Tilted Mill.

[@Steltus]

i am bad at simcity 4 i never manga to have a big city with Bulding
