I Want to Do Stuff Again!

[Orange Julius]

I want to play SimCity again, but how? First, what computer should I use? An early G5 iMac? Or a Compaq Presario 2002? Sadly, the iMac barely runs faster than the Presario. What about custom content? 500K downloads, that's a lot. Or shall I forego building big cities and become a BATter? Too bad I don't have any pictures and no guide that I can print out that's less than 50 pages. Or the lack of a decent mouse. Help me, before I go?

hello. the best way is to use a pc because much of the modds in the community are fit for the pc. if you have the manual, dont hesitate to read it again becuase it helps and visit simcity.ea.com for hints and tips.

if you want to make buildings like what the bsc does, the simcity site has the tools. you need gmax, access to turbosquid.com and a copy of the bat gamepack. and that is done after you install the main game of course.

todat's hard drives are incredibly huge and good value so you can get a 400gig drive for eighty quid. in most cases windows will recognise your new drive automatically, otherwise you need drivers, mostly from your manufacturers internet website.

a lot has changed in just 5 years. have fun

You misunderstand. I quit playing last December due to a bad case of "Plugin Mania". I also do have the BAT and everything required to run it.

Do you want to play the game? the better the PC the faster your game runs.

You can BAT or just play, either way, its the enjoyment of the game that matters.

Enjoy the game!!!
