After some years of establishment build a complete education system, and try to balance your budget. If you want to make sure a city runs smoothly make sure your industry is running like a well oiled machine. In order to build a large city first plan the layout in large cities there is always a problem of traffic. If you have regional connections then the city youre connected with will contribute to your regional rci meters. 2000 is a great place to start, though! I'd second the recommendation to just play through 2, 3, and 4 in order to see which you like best. You have two RCI meters, one locally and one for the region. I can't speak to 1 and 5, because I haven't played either-though I think the general consensus is you wouldn't be missing much.

I think that 4 is also, overall, the most popular (it also has its own subreddit, /r/simcity4), both because it was the last one for a while and because it's just a very good game.

3 and 4 are pretty similar, so that difference really comes down to which one you like more.Ĥ is my personal favorite, because I find that its simulation is a really nice level of abstraction: It's simple enough that you can handle things without all too much difficulty, but intricate enough that if you want you can really start playing with it to get pretty deep into it. If you really want to be optimal with a good layout for SimCity 3000, then you’ll want to have a terrain that is completely flat with no hills at all. I think 3 has a lot of fans, it has a lot of significant advancements in game and art design. What Does the Best Layout Look Like Since SimCity 3000 lets you fix the terrain that you want to use before you start constructing your city, you can really optimize your city’s layout. I think it honestly comes down to personal preference! They're all really good.Ģ000 is simpler than 3 and 4, but there are some features (like Arcologies and Hydro plants) that aren't in later games that I personally am a big fan of, because I grew up with it! So it's got a lot of nostalgia for me.
