    I love it when QoL mods come out for old games. Simcity 4 was/is excellent and I’d like to give it another go. However I was hoping the mod would allow for the camera to be controlled with the mouse; it sounds like you have to manually type the commands into the console; hopefully another mod will make it more user friendly.

    Good lord has it been that long already? I still think of SimCity 4 as the plucky upstart trying to dethrone SimCity 3000. I wasn’t expecting to feel so utterly devastated this early in the morning.

    Oh wow, this is incredible! Are there any videos of it in action? I only see photos in the article, and I don't have the game installed at the moment.

      Looking at it it's very very laggy but this is expected for the game, vanilla simcity 4 has poor performance and it'll lag even when you scroll around. Cool regardless.

        Even on 20 year newer hardware, that's wacky.
