Each decision has a greater impact and gives you the ability to respond more effectively. Use the My Sim features to personalize your Sim and immediately move him or her into any area and watch them experience life around town and get instant feedback on the city's progress. Now individual buildings and their lots provide you with feedback. The new simulation engine offers immediate feedback so you can react to the needs of an expanding metropolis. Use 'god-like' powers to create mountain ranges, carve valleys, and lay rivers to construct the most realistic metropolis imaginable. You can create a region of interconnected cities sharing and competing for resources that are linked by a fully integrated transportation network. Create a megalopolis by weaving together a tapestry of cities ranging from a bedroom community to a high tech urban center or a vacation destination to a farming village.

In SimCity 4, you don't just build your city, you breathe life into it. SimCity™ 4 Deluxe Edition includes the base game and the SimCity™ 4 Rush Hour expansion.
