On Sim City 3 Unlimited I had a radiant metropolis of 2,2 million. Complete with skyscrapers, massive LRT and subway systems and low crime and heathy aura all around. And I don't use cheats.
Now I've just started Sim City 4 and all my Sim 3 skills are useless. Furthermore, how can you have more than 100 000 people in a city anymore, the maps in Sim 4 are so small??? And you can only chose the ones from the map!!!
Oh and it lags like shit, and I have a G5!
