Yeah those two will set you up for awhile.
Look over at the BSC lot exchange on sc4devotion, and find lots made by the user "simgoober". everything from real life stores to new school options, and they all use basically the same dependency packs so they are easy to track down and install.

Look at the difference on metacritic:
Metascore: 8.2
User score: 1.9

Dont ever tell me these "professional" reviewers aren't paid for good reviews.



AND here a maxis dev calls the SC2013 the "worst launch ever" LINK

i think most simcity players prefer a modded SC4 over anything else at this point. I never played XL, because it wasnt from Maxis.

Cities XL is ok. Feels a bit unfinished. Also the trading system is a complete disaster. Still miles better than the new Sim City. I don't remember SC4 well enough to compare it to that.

I remember arguing this point during the ME3 "crisis." Either they are paid or do not want to piss off the big boys.

Tom is right, XL is a good game but a bit raw.

The only thing I can figure out with the reviews is that they aren't looking at it beside 4. Not looking at how the game regressed, just grading based on what it is.

lets not get stupid.


the launch is terrible and the game has many flaws itself but using metacritic(or amazon which im sure is just as low) as some kind of evidence of anything other then people raging about DRM is pointless.

It's gotten so bad that Amazon has halted sales on it's site.
Total Flop

EA ran 3 betas to test severs and still end up with this clusterfrick. check the other link, maxis dev called it the worst launch ever.

they did some good things with this game, but i have no doubt EA slashed budget and production time knowing full well they were going to put out a crap product and just "fix" it later. if this goes poorly enough it will be the final simcity we ever get.

Not a Sims fan, but read this the other day. Figured it belonged here.

The game itself is really fun. I haven't had any problems connecting either.. I seem to be one of the few.
