With SimCity 4 you are able to import your favorite Sims from The Sims
™
to live in your city! If
you haven’t created your own Sims, we’ve provided some individuals for you to follow as they
give you the inside scoop on what’s happening in their neck of the woods.
Sims are not your only source of information. You can spend a lot of time just touring your city in
wonder. As night falls, street lights illuminate neighborhood sidewalks. Buildings in neglected
areas of town deteriorate, but their condition improves if the area hits an economic upturn. You
hear the strident voices of striking workers, and the happy bustle of kids going to school–and see
all the minivans dropping those kids off as the day begins! Populate your landscape with herds of
wild animals and you may encounter a herd of elk making their way through town. At every
level, your city gives you information about how your decisions are affecting the lives of your
citizens.
Be a hardworking saint of a Mayor, or inflict all the evils of the world on your poor, unsuspecting
Sims. Either way, every decision you make will have lasting implications. With experience, and
Sims squawking with advice and opinions along the way, it won’t be long before you are the
Mayor of your dreams.

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to a world you create–SimCity
™
4! Whether you are an experienced Mayor, or are just
entering the world of city planning and politics, SimCity 4 offers unparalleled opportunities to
create the metropolis of your dreams. Or, if you prefer, you can destroy that visionary city with a
fiery meteor shower. The possibilities are endless.
Are you a Mayor who yearns to be loved by your citizenry, or one whose name instills fear in
Sims’s hearts? Does your vision include building an industrial empire, a sleepy agrarian
community, or a cutting edge eco-friendly metropolis? With SimCity 4, your power extends from
the god-like creation of mountainscapes to the adjustment of funding levels at a local elementary
school. And why stop at playing a single city? SimCity 4 lets you design and play interdependent
cities within a region. Create a heavily commercial metropolis surrounded by upscale suburbs and
farming communities, or a region of smaller, specialized towns that depend upon each other for
shared resources. Don’t get too carried away with your newfound powers, though. Just because
you can plop the Great Sphinx in a downtown park or cause lightning to strike a particularly
despised business does not make you a successful mayor. To keep your city running smoothly, you
need to make it prosperous and a desirable place for your Sims to live.
You’ll know if your city is a place where Sims hope to establish family trees. They tell you. They’ll
let you know that the nearby clinic is having problems, or that they are very happy with the new
restaurant on the nearby block. If you raise taxes, they may complain. If they live near a source
of unchecked pollution, they’ll get sick. If they can’t get a job, they’ll move out of the city
altogether! In the ideal city, your Sims will work hard, die peacefully at a ripe old age, and pass
the torch to the next generation.
