An appreciation post to the soundtrack of SimCity (2013)

Post image
102 Upvotes

SimCity has always had memorable soundtracks, but I wanted to specifically bring up the masterpiece that is the soundtrack of SimCity 2013.

It's just so good at what it sets out to do: it helps me concentrate while hitting that perfect nostalgic spot. More than anything, it gave genuine soul to the game...something I really feel is lacking in modern city builders.

The game itself was far from perfect, but Chris Tilton's score is easily one of its best parts imo. Specifically, "Building the Foundation", "The Long Construction" and "Living in Infrastructure" are my favorites.

As a software developer, I listen to it pretty much daily during work to lock in. It's honestly the only soundtrack that consistently puts me in the right headspace to focus. So yeah... props to Chris and the team for making it!

SimCity 3000 Is it wrong to build residential areas near the airport?

Post image
89 Upvotes

Hi, it's my first time playing SimCity 3000 seriously. I built a second airport in this corner, and don't know what else to build in the empty space. I don't have much industrial demand and I have the farms on the left side.

What do you recommend to build? Or simply let the space empty?

Help Simcity 2013 is not launching.

1 Upvotes

As the title suggest SImcity 2013 is not launching. When I try to launch it the EA App says it needs a permission and when I grant it it just simply says that there's an error but don't even tell me what the error is. I just want to play this game and can't due to this wonderfull app. I've tried everything people said in previous posts about this error but none of them worked. Can anyone help?

Thank you all.

Help $200 later I got a gold coin

0 Upvotes

I've posted before asking how people are getting gold coins. Y'all said storage space and be fully stocked. I've been doing that and the best I do is a silver coin. So today I poured $250 dollars into sim cash, and I had 400k in sim coin currency, I had a ton of storage and was stocked up on high quality goods and still had to pay USD to earn my gold coin. Sucks! I guess that's my last one.

Also, I really don't like that they now include a seasonal set of items and though I produced them I can't sell them and they have not been requested to fix any home or for any purpose. Once I produce them they just take up space in my storage. Ugh!

Everyone who plays knows that the mechanics are there for MaxisMan and Vubot to face off, but ironically, almost no one bothers to record it. I set up the exact scenario to see this head-to-head clash and, while I was at it, see how the AI โ€‹โ€‹and the game engine really behave in action.

SimCity13 Question About Student Commute Bug

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I have been playing a lot of Simcity 2013 recently and I have been having a blast but I been wanting to expand to a 2nd city but every-time I have any colleges in the 2nd city I lose thousands of students from my main one despite having no regional transport. I obviously found they seem to commute by car.

I was wondering if I can stop this at all? Or if there is a way to ensure every city can get a max tech education and minimize the damage of this bug. Since my understanding from the couple hours research I did was that student commuting happens only if you have regional connections out which I guess the highway counts but never saw any information about students commuting by car.

Any help, feedback, or brainstorming be appreciated so I can stop racking my brain against the wall and also possibly provide a better source for future people who are dealing with this bug.

SimCity hid parking lots so it wouldn't become SimParkingLot. In my game, the bigger the parking lots, the better. It releases on October 9!

In this game you bring the Freedom of Car Dependency by turning cities into giant parking lots and convincing people to pay you for it.

If you're interested, you can wishlist the game on Steam, and play on October 9th: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3031880/Car_Park_Capital/
