Think you'll be waiting a long time, not gonna happen.

I found the Random crashing was EVGA Precision. If I disable it the game runs fine.

Really enjoying the game now. I like the simpleness of it although like most people have said there is not enough space to build what it wants and keep everyone happy. It gets cluttered very quick.

Still a good game and tbh a lot better than I thought it would be.

It's been a while since i loaded up Simcity, but i had a really good game over the weekend. Finally they are starting to make some progress with the bugs.

His a short cinematic i did. Any feedback would be great!

Haven't played since (about a couple of weeks) after release. Anything major changed? ~~Have they increased the size of the cities yet?~~

e: just read above.

Loving this, but finding it so hard. It's my dream to have a buzzing new york style metropolis, but just cannot do it.

Not really sure to be honest. I'm starting to go for nicely designed road layouts/cities.

Train stations are buggin me. I connect them to the road, but the yellow flashing road sign still appears and there is no power or water connection.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

I'd play it again if the map size was bigger.

I googled about making the map size bigger, and a news article came up, saying "Images taken from a survey suggest that the game might get increased city sizes, which might double the current limits."

Whilst that's speculative on the article's part, it does fill me with a tiny bit of hope.

MOOGLEYS · 9 Sep 2013 at 22:48

I have to agree the map is not big enough to achieve the goals and be profitable. I have three city's on the go and they are all of different design but all have pretty much run out of space to increase and expand as needed.

Hopefully they may make the map bigger but tbh it's EA so that might be left for SimCity 2014. Otherwise the game is superb and I have sunk most of today into it which is pretty much unheard of for me.

Isn't there a mod for a bigger map?

Yes I agree, it's very polished and looks really nice. It's just the map size which lets it down.

In the mean time, I think I will learn and play Tropico 4 for my 'city building' fix.

No

Ah, it was this I was thinking of, it's not a bigger map exactly but could help with placing certain buildings...

Just bought this yesterday when I noticed it on sale in Game, enjoying it so far but the small size is a pain in the neck!

MikeWild74 · 27 Sep 2013 at 18:42

Started playing this again after waiting for some sort of fix.

is there any decent games to join?

probably the game I've had the same thing with stadiums or whatever it was

Well Sim City has finally died for me... they have said that they will not be expanding the city size, I'm not impressed one bit.... a lot of angry peeps out there.

Shame. I really wanted to go back when the cities were bigger. The map sizes make the game feel lacking to me.

Pah. They state that it is because its better to have multiple specialised cities - I can dig that, but lets face it THEY DON'T WORK. They really should have fixed the broken inter city relationships before announcing that one.

Game over man, game over!
