In SimCity 4, you don't just build your city, you breathe life into it. With god- like powers, sculpt mountains, gouge riverbeds, and seed forests to lay the groundwork for your creation.

Then construct the most realistic city you can imagine. Your city comes alive with the hustle and bustle of construction crews, the snarl of traffic and the activity of your Sims. Move your personalised Sims into your city and watch as they go about their daily lives. Build mansions on mountainsides, cross canyons with bridges, raise skyscrapers downtown, and compete for resources with neighboring SimCities.

With every decision you make, your city and your Sims will respond for better or worse. In SimCity 4 your city pulses with the life you give it.
