SimCity 4 (PC)

SimCity 4 is a city-building / urban planning simulation computer game. It is the fourth installment in the SimCity series.

The game allows players to create a region of land by terraforming, and then to design and build a settlement which can grow into a city. Players can zone different areas of land as commercial, industrial or residential development, as well as build and maintain public services, transport and utilities. For the success of a city, players must manage its finances, environment and quality of life for its residents. SimCity 4 introduces night and day cycles and other special effects for the first time in the SimCity series. External tools such as the Building Architect Tool (BAT) allow custom third party buildings and content to be added to the gameplay.

SimCity 4 was praised for being the second game in the SimCity series to primarily use a 3D engine to render its graphics, It received widespread acclaim and won several awards.
