As I said before, there is so much to consider but it is worth working on and sticking with. In a farming region, you may hear the sound of animals and if you have an army base, you will hear your troops training. In an industrial area, you will hear the sound of factories hard at work. Soundwise, the different areas of your city have the appropriate noises. Also, when day gradually turns to night, you see the streetlights go on and the road vehicles turn their headlights on also. Chaingangs near jails, soldiers near army bases, business people in your commercial regions, children near schools. They are also relative to what you have in that area too. From the furthest zoom where you can see your city overall down to even looking down on a city street and seeing Sims going about their business, the graphics are excellent. There is so much to keep your eye on and it is not easy pleasing all of your Sims all of the time without bankrupting your city treasury. As a piece of visual art, SimCity 4 (SC4) is an excellent piece of work and a piece of interactive entertainment (this is more than a game), it is easy to learn but can be difficult to master. Apart from accidentally erasing one of your own cities, how can you spoil something you ultimately create yourself? This is more a tool for people to create their own urban masterpieces than something to sit and watch. I would not really say this is a spoiler as such. Even if I never play in Mayor Mode again. I even imported it into The Sims 2 so I have better music than they gave that game. One other thing I forgot to add before is that I love, and I mean LOVE the music. The roads, which are so cool in SC4 are flattened out around hilltops and all the skins are removed. Now I have actually used it to import into The Sims 2. I hit the erosion button once and wiped out all my trees and a goodly portion of my mountain range. ![]() The one thing I really wish it had was an "undo" button. And while I dislike the lack of scale control on some of the God Mode stuff overall it is way cool. So I did the mayor thing a couple times, but primarily I've used it to create wilder and wilder places to download into The Sims 2. I bought it last year when I heard you could use it to create neighborhoods for The Sims 2. Though I admit I don't use it for the intended purpose too much. I want to say, this is one of my favorite games.
