also, fuck Sims. Why cant you drive right? I checked my population…are you letting the people going to grade school drive? Why does everything you do end in fire or explosions? Why don’t you have some sort of basic understanding that a fucking giant lizard just ran through downtown, and maybe now isn’t a good time to whine about sewage problems?
FUCK YOU

that’s how I roll
drink more mountain dew bitches I don’t care about your dirty water
See this is why you and everyone else needs to go back to the snes version of Sim City. At least you can deal with the
king of the koopas a lit easier. Plus there’s that easy assed way to get money at any time.
Also that EA bitch I knew was full of shit right away. The whole problems/server bs was planned from the beginning I
bet. Just to get even more people talking about the game. Because lol there’s no such thing as “bad publicity”. I was
really thinking about getting this too. But no offline/single player? And it would be -hard- to make a single player mode?
Aka it would make us less money mode so we won’t make it and force more shit on you. Single player mode $59.99 +
tax and ported into the game by capcom in 983247932478937 DLC expansion packs like the old ass Sims days.
So, are the server issues fixed now? I’m waiting for the apple version, but was turned off by not only the server shit but also people saying the cities are small??
Server problems are like 99% gone. Or at least not noticeable really.
Yeah cities are small, but you have regions, so it’s a tradeoff. Larger cities are coming via patch, just not right away.

I wonder how long it will take him to edit the city size there should be an option for that in the debug.
I don’t like sims games but you guys might find this cool: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=523776
…look 2 posts up 
Maxis wants to leave the debug tools in so players can mod the game easily, but the higher ups are wanting to take it out for obvious reasons.
Would be cool if I could make Duckberg and Scrooge McDuck’s money bin in this. How long do you think
this will be at $59.99? Just waiting for a bit of a price drop on this and maybe the offline play.
Just tried to play. Cant. Maintenance, on a game that doesnt really need it in the fashion that you get locked out of playing your purchase. I swear this must be some sort of test run for this being implemented in to all EA games. Pretty fucked off with the experience now. I want to play, but still half the time I cannot.
The game itself is great. But I wont hesitate on saying download this shit on the internet. A crack is forthcoming. I just feel insulted that I payed for it now.
The maintenance is just one server at a time, just make a new city on a new server while you wait the hour it takes for them to finish with the one you wanted
I havent really felt inclined to play that way. I dont like building them from scratch or taking over another city. I have 1 city, deleted about 4 in the running. I like the city I have now, think I’ve got to grips with the game a bit better. My city needs me. I supplied water from a bad location, people are ill…
I hates EA now.
I am finding you REALLY need to run shit with a full region, everybody supplying each other, or you start getting fucked around the 100k population point. Services get insane, and not having coverage destroys you. I have a city now with no hospital, sewage, or water, and it’s doing great, mainly due to another city supplying what is needed. Also, you won’t get many people from tourism (gambling, sports, etc) without populating other places.
Lemme know when you guys are free enough that we can all get together and get a huge region going.

Yeah, I’m skipping out on this version until the mod community does something awesome.
I saw that elsewhere the day after launch. It’s good to unlock your city halls but one little fire, or prolonged abscence of water/power/sewage/etc, and that all falls apart FAST. When I tried it, it wasn’t long until the lack of hospitals and abundance of germs, unleashed zombies who promptly ate half my city.
I am having a blast playing with a buddy while we split up who needs to build what. One builds police, the other builds fire. Plan out our ministries, and specializations, and go from there.
I still think the game needs an insane amount of patching, but look forward to it.
perfectly sums up a major issue. Sims aren’t individuals (even though Maxis claimed they are), and instead fill whatever open slot is closest to them. So they fill in houses in the order the come across them, and they go to work the same way, and you can kill your casino by putting a bus stop near it (they will board the bus instead of the casino). This also leads to stupid shit like workers heading out for work, the jobs get filled, and since they were walking, they just keep on walking in a random direction. Thus you keep getting warnings about a lack of workers, simply because work is too far away to walk to in time.
In short, virtually all traffic (auto, services, utilities) is fucking broken 
oh yeah, and traffic is so bad that cars can get stuck, and the only way to fix it is to delete the road and rebuild it:
edit: oh and they are padding the population. Basically, any high density buildings will add like 5k to your population, but you only get 600 actual sims. Sadly, this means you only collect taxes from 600 sims, but you still have to pay out utilities (ambulances, garbage, water used, education requirements) for that fake padded population. So you may only have around 10k sims in your city paying taxes, but you have to provide utilities for 100k.
Oh, and the variable itself is called “GetFudgedPopulation” in the games code.
and last but not least:
if you destroy any of your services (whether you bulldoze it, or a disaster hits it), you’re fucked. It will forever think the vehicles are out there, putting out fires, even if you build a new fire station or what have you. But you’re fucked.
Sounds like this game is all you hoped it would be champ.
