Meh, given the traffic is literally the only challenging part of the game (which is pretty realistic given irl), I think it's better leave it in.

Yo. I have SimCity 2013 which I bought a few years back. Couldn't solve my traffic problems (+ disasters/aliens happened..) and I stopped playing the game entirely. Many criticism has been thrown at SimCity 2013, especially when you compare it with its predecessor. Well I have not played the latter, so I'm not too bothered by it. Now I have it installed again, but then I read that Cities Skylines was a much much better version of the game...

I'm not an expert at such simulation games, kinda amateur/casual actual. My main objective in SimCity 2013 is to create several cities each maybe specialising in something, and then each contributing to a Great Work. Does Cities Skylines offer something similar to this or should I just stick to SimCity 2013? I don't want to be building for the sake of building. I want it to have an 'end goal', a project or motivation to play the game.

[Edit]

Should I even try the expansion?

There's no actual endgame in this, and most of the challenge and depth comes from the traffic management part of the sim if you're not interested in building for aesthetics.

Yeah there's not much of a "goal" unless you don't mind chasing smaller achievements by doing unusually specific things

I never found cities skylines to be any sort of challenge or simulation at all. The traffic system is definitely fun and engaging but I wouldn't call it challenging in any way. Also, with the agent cap the game currently has the more you play the less traffic and people are populated in your city tangibly. That kind of completely killed the game for me over time.

Personally it's still my favorite city simulator game ever (the aesthetics and liveliness of the cities is unparalleled) but if you want some sort of challenge you might be disappointed. Perhaps difficulty mods change that but I never dealt with those.

Guess cities skylines isn't suitable for me. Will play simcity then. Thanks!

[Edit]

Ay since I'm here already and I assume some of you have played simcity 2013, does anyone know if mods work with the cracked version of the game? I only bought the vanilla, and I don't think I would pay for the dlcs and expansion. Wanna see if I should be bothered playing with mods or not

Anyone have any information on Cities for Xbox One? I'm looking for it since months and all I can see is a coming soon announcement on their website. I wish I could see the gameplay with the controller or at least a release date..

New expansion announced that will give additional option for transportation. I'm going to buy it just because it includes ferries.

I just started playing again. I'm still building terrible cities but it is so relaxing and fun anyway.

Ooh cable cars up mountains thats cool.

Too bad the game is horribly flawed with it's agent limit limitations. I really just can't play the game anymore knowing that the bigger I make the city the more lifeless it becomes. I wish they'd somehow change that...
