Indeed. It's like a Bethesda game, except the bugs aren't ridiculously endearing like dragons that fly backwards or crimefighting chickens.

We on for a new region? Would definitely start a new one now that I know a bit more about the game.

I wanna play SimCopter or SimTower now...
I decided to create a new region today. Was feeling nostalgic and hadn't played in months. My new city actually ended up working a LOT smoother than any of my previous cities did, even the one I rebuilt from scratch in a hyper-planned manner. In 6 hours of playtime, I've already got $11 million in the bank.
If anyone wants to give it another go, PM me and I'll friend you on Origin and send you the region (or however the heck it works).

After my last post, I demolished my city at that point and replanned it. I worked my way up from smelting to manufacturing processors to manufacturing computers, doing away with smelting entirely and just buying the alloy on the market. Definitely the best way to earn money. Now my city is 350k people and I have nearly $180 million in the bank in just my one city.
Everything was humming along smoothly, so I decided to get rid of anything high-polution and go nuclear power instead. What do I get for my troubles? A tornado, right on top of my nuclear plant. Kaboom. It didn't radiate things too heavily, but apparently fallout gets converted to ground pollution over time, which means that more than half my map is now completely polluted. Thankfully, I've more than enough income to pay for a fully loaded hospital, which has more than enough capacity.

Just came across to this cool thread... didn't read all the posts...
Anyway, by chance I dug up a copy of my old SimCity 3000, with booklet and all! Surprisingly it still works on a Win7 based 64-bit machine!

Nice find. I think I even still have my old Simcity 3000 Unlimited CD around somewhere, although I got it used so there was never a box or manual. My intro to Simcity was watching my uncle play Simcity 2000 back in the day, then he bought me a copy of Simcity 3000.
I couldn't play Simcity 4 back in the days because, at the time it came out, it required about the best computer money could buy to run smoothly. I picked it up in 2012 though on Steam and started playing it, and it rekindled my love for the franchise.
FWIW, the reason I stopped playing before was because the rollback bug made the game unplayable. Thankfully that issue appears to have been completely resolved, as I haven't run into it a single time since I started playing again.
And yeah, you make MAD CASH manufacturing processors and turning them into computers. Despite my hourly budget being nearly $70k in the red, my net is closer to about +$2.8 million per day.
One bug I have run into is that the train rails in Nugget Plateau (in the Titan Gorge set) are useless, because they don't actually go anywhere except to the local Great Works site (which is also accessible by road) and then off the map.
