Read Full Detailed Report - SimCity Societies

SimCity Societies is a city-building simulation computer game developed by Tilted Mill Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts (EA), and is part of the Sim games series. The gameplay is significantly different from previous SimCity titles, with a greater focus on "social engineering".

A capitalist city, showing the day and night cycle in the gameSimCity Societies has a different gameplay compared to previous SimCity titles with less focus on "stricter city-planner roles", and more focus on "social-engineering". Tilted Mill Entertainment also reduced the complexity of SimCity Societies after the previous games in the series had been described as too complex by Will Wright. Complexity was reduced by removing the need to lay pipes and power grids.

The ability to fund buildings individually, building evolution, and zoning were also not featured in the game. The adviser system of previous SimCity games was replaced, with a city's status instead indicated to the player by the behaviour of citizens, with each building having an effect on citizen's behaviour.

==Singleplayer anomalies==

Any problems other than loading screens and main menu? Those aren't really part of the game, so they aren't counted against it.


==HUD stretch==

The HUD is optimized for 4:3 and 16:10. It stretches slightly at 16:9 (see above). Notice how the blue and red circles are slightly out of shape.

Are you sure about this? It looks fine at 3:1 to me.

Grade is C+.

No other problems. Everything "game wise" works perfectly, except that it's all Vert-.

The HUD was a copy-paste mistake from my Hellgate DR.

I just want to ask 2 things;


MODS: Would it be possible to change the post title from "SimCity: Socities" to "SimCity: Societies" ? I was not able to find this topic at first due to the slight typo.

And does anyone know how to tweak the game for HOR+ ?

The MGL isn't there for nothing.

See the column where it says "detailed report" over and over again? One of them is for SimCity Societies.
