SimCity series logo (2012-present), Track Twenty, Platforms, February 1989 December 16, 2014, and SimCity is an video game series originally designed. The first game in the series, was published by in 1989.
The success of SimCity sparked the creation of several sequels and many other spin-off, including 2000's, which itself became a and franchise. In the SimCity games, the player develops a city from a patch of undeveloped land. The player controls where to place, infrastructure like roads and power plants, landmarks, and public services such as schools, parks, hospitals and fire stations.
The player also determines the tax rate, the budget, and social policy. The city is populated by 'Sims', simulated persons, who live in the city created by the player.
The three types are the major areas in which Sims inhabit: for Sims to live in; for Sims to shop and have offices within; where Sims find work in factories, laboratories and farms. While there is no particular win condition in a game of SimCity, the balancing act of the above mentioned factors provide the constraints which make gameplay possible. To maximize population or profitability, to re-create real life locations in-game, achieve an aesthetic design or to trigger as many natural disasters as possible are among the many possible goals one can determine for oneself while playing a SimCity game.
The SimCity universe is loosely based on 20th century California urbanization, and all editions have some common thematic elements: in a new game players start from an undeveloped, are the default form of transportation, and happen.

As the city matures, the player may get to place government and other special buildings (such as a mayor's house or ), depending on how large the city is. The player must supply the citizens services, which include, safety, and.
These come in the form of different buildings, where each building covers a circular 'range' of service. Inadequate funding of these services can lead to strikes. Cities must also provide basic utilities, namely, and (in and ). The primary source of income is, which can be altered by one percent increments in all versions up to SimCity 3000, and by tenths of a percent in SimCity 4.
Legalizing and placing certain 'special' buildings (such as or ) can generate income as well. The player may also make deals with neighbouring cities to sell or buy services, as long as a connection is made to the neighbor for that service (this feature was introduced in SimCity 3000). SimCity is predominantly a single-player game (the exceptions being a 'Network Edition' of SimCity 2000, and a Unix port of the original SimCity). SimCity 4 also provides a form of multiplayer gaming with the ability to share regional maps and cities with other players, allowing players to collaborate, but not to interact in real time gameplay.
Personal computer versions SimCity. Main article: The unexpected and enduring success of the original, combined with other ' ' titles' relative lack of success at the time, motivated the of a. SimCity 2000 ( SC2K), released in 1993, was a major extension. The view was now instead of overhead, the landscape was not flat, and underground layers were introduced for and. New types of facility included, (although they appeared randomly on residential blocks in the first SimCity, they could not be built by the player) and. Players could build, subways, and zone land for and. There are a total of nine varieties of power plants in SC2K, including, (which can only be placed on tiles) and the futuristic and plant.
The budget and finance controls are also much more elaborate—tax rates can be set individually for residential, commercial and industrial zones. Enacting city ordinances and connecting to neighboring cities became possible. Another new addition in SC2K is the query tool.
Using the query tool on tiles reveals information such as structure name and type, altitude, and land value. Certain tiles also display additional information; power plants, for example, display the percentage of power being consumed when queried, and querying roads displays the amount of traffic on that tile. Querying a library and selecting 'Ruminate' displays an essay written. Graphics were added for buildings under construction in the residential, commercial, and industrial zones, as well as darkened buildings depicting abandoned buildings as a result of. News comes in the form of several pre-written articles with variable names that could either be called up immediately or could be subscribed to on a yearly basis.
The newspaper option provided many humorous stories as well as relevant ones, such as new, warnings about aging power plant, recent and (highlighting city problems). SimCity 2000 is the only game in the entire series to have this feature (besides the discontinued children's version, ), though newer versions have a. The newspapers had random titles ( Times, Post, Herald, etc.), and prices based on the simulated year. Certain newspapers have a special monthly humor by 'Miss Sim'. SimCity 3000. Main article: The successor to SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000 ( SC3K) was released in 1999.
It introduced many changes both to the city management and to the appearance. In a pattern which has continued throughout the SimCity franchise, the number and complexity of city services increased between SC2K and SC3K. The issue of was added: once a city has a population greater than 1,000, would begin to accumulate and would have to be disposed of at the expense of the city; in previous versions of SimCity, this issue had been ignored. And were also introduced, and appeared on large light industrial zones in a city with low land value and little. In Sim City 3000, there are three zoning densities compared to the two densities used in SC2K. In addition to their limited life span, power plants are now vulnerable to decreasing maximum output at a constant rate after they have gone through about three quarters of their life span.
Although the concept of neighbor cities was introduced in SC2K, its role was expanded in SC3K. For the first time, the player could interact with his or her neighbor cities, negotiating rudimentary business deals with other mayors, such as the sale or purchase of, or services. These generate a monthly charge which is either added to or subtracted from the player's treasury, in accordance with the deal. Canceling a neighbor deal will incur a substantial cash penalty. From time to time, the simulated mayors of neighboring cities will call meetings to renegotiate the terms or price of these deals.
Although not strictly a city management aspect, SimCity 3000 simulated the effect of on construction much more realistically than in SimCity 2000. In the latter, most buildings fell into a wide stratum that did not reflect land value very effectively; every building was more or less suited to neighborhoods of every economic disposition. In SC3K, land value created distinct which tended to contain narrow income bands, creating well-defined, middle class areas, and wealthy areas. Land value is also determined by the city center effect where buildings that are at the city center have higher land values and those buildings on the borders have lower land values.
The city center effect is determined by the location of buildings within the city. However, over time, land value ' would cause almost every area of a city to become expensive, so that wealthy neighborhoods covered most if not all of the map. Business deals were another new concept to SC3K. By allowing certain structures to be built within the city, the player could receive a substantial amount of funds from them. The four business deal structures are the, and the Gigamall (a large ). Business deal structures however have serious negative effects on a city.
The toxic waste dump lowers both the land value and residential desirability in the area surrounding it and produces massive pollution. The prison dramatically decreases land value. The casino increases citywide crime and the Gigamall weakens demand for local commerce. There were several changes to the graphical interface in SC3K. Although the game retained the pseudo- of its predecessor, the actual landscape became more complex and colorful. In SimCity and SC2K, the playable landscape was brown, like the color of bare dirt.
In SC3K, the playable landscape was a more realistic green color, simulating grassland, along with other colors that progressively change by height, from beige (beach sand) to green to brown (bare ground) to white (snow). In SC2K, land could either be flat or sloped, and all slopes were of the same steepness. In SC3K, there were five distinct steepness of slope, creating more varied landscapes.
However, in SC3K, there are no and, which are common in SC2K. Also, for the first time, there were different types of trees which could appear on the playable map. In SC2K, there were only trees, while in SC3K, trees prevail, but other types of trees exist, depending on the elevation of the terrain. SimCity 4.
Main article: SimCity 4 was released on January 14, 2003. As with previous SimCity titles, SimCity 4 ( Sim4) places the player in the role of a (or several mayors), tasked with populating and developing tracts of lands into, while fulfilling the needs of fellow who live there. Cities are now located in, which are divided into segments, each of which can be developed. Each region represents the metropolitan area of a city, while individual cities represent districts. The player has the option of starting the city in a segment of any of three area sizes; in actual measurement the smallest has a length of 1 kilometer on a side, and the largest has a length of 4 kilometers on a side. A large city is 16 km 2; for comparison the borough of measures about 60 km 2. The size of a region and its layout of segments can be changed in a file provided for each region.
Zoning and building size have been improved for SimCity 4. Is now a separate zone-type, allowing farms to grow regardless of high, so long as there exists demand for agriculture and agricultural zones have been provided. Zones are now automatically aligned towards roads; streets are automatically created in a grid formation when zoning on tracts of land. Buildings are now classified into several levels, zone types, and building size stages, which are affected by the region's population and the city's condition. The game simulates and with buildings deteriorating or improving accordingly.
Buildings originally constructed for occupation by higher wealth tenants can now support lower wealth tenants in the event surrounding factors forces the current tenants to vacate the building; this allows certain buildings to remain in use despite lacking its initial occupants. Buildings and lots can now be constructed on. SimCity 4 can be used in conjunction with. Sims can be imported into a city for use in the My sim mode.

SimCity Societies.

Public works and a tax system do not play a part in the game. Instead, players get daily income from workplaces in the city.

Players do not build zones, a key element of past SimCity games; instead, they have the ability to directly place individual buildings, something not seen in previous editions, and similar to 's game.

WikIRafa: The same happens with Portuguese. SC3k was released here in Brazil fully translated and localized directly by EA. So, it seemed to me this game wouldn't have a translation rights issue, like many other PC classics whose localization were done by Brasoft, a defunct Brazilian PC games distributor in early 90s. Finally I can solve this problem. I found a ISO of Simcity WE and extract the language files and it works.
Simcity 3000 Unlimited Free Download
If anybody have this problem. Download the Simcity 3000 WE and go to APPS RES (inside disk).
Then copy SSIMDATA and TEXT folders and paste into SimCity 3000 Unlimited Apps Res (this one is the game's folder). Finally, enter in both folders and rename the two folders named SPANISH (in my case, you can do it with Portuguese) by ENGLISH (you can rename existing ENGLISH folder or simple delete, if you doubt better backup). Done, you can play now with your language. I hope this can help somebody else. If you can't find the game, I uploaded those folders and you can download from here (SHA: 616c0c76e86fe1e94f00ec3d4bc401ac3fc9179f). Please note that link will expire in 30 days. If link is dead I can upload again.
Guys I´ve just made a python scirpt that makes it easier to switch between languages after you´ve already installed your Simcity 3000/Simcity 3000 Unlimited. It works on both Windows and Linux version of this game. In order to use it all you have to do is install Simcity 3000 with English as the default language and then have python 2.7 installed on your computer and download my python script and then place it in your Simcity 3000 Res folder. Now Windows users might be wondering why would they use my script instead of using the one provided by GOG to change the language?
Well for the simple fact that it provides some additional language translations that the one provided by GOG wont provide such as: -Portuguese Brazilian -Polish -Russian -Spanish Download it Github Project page/url.
