SimCity Deluxe in iPad (yes, obviously I dug this out after all the recent
fuss about SimCity 4): I can't get it to build a water pump or a bridge.
Water Pump simply won't place and roads I drag over one side of a river to
the other just stay red.

Anyone else have this? Am I missing anything?

Cheers,
Ian

Err...5. I meant fuss about SimCity 5.

Have you got enough money to build the roads? WRT the water pump, you
are trying to place it adjacent to a road aren't you? (though I'm not
100% certain that's relevant with Deluxe... not seen an iPad version).

And, is the new version really '5', I've seen it as '2013' and heard
that EA is dropping version numbering from games in favour of perman-
ent web-connections and constant updates/upgrades a-la MineCraft
(among others). I can see it's going to go subscription based :-(

... But I still can't wait for the Mac release, there is supposed to
be an announcement in April regarding the Mac version... and it's
April now... Where's the anouncement?!

Justin, who is fast running out of patience.

ash - not sure about that, will try to make sure I am near a road.
Money - yes, I have enough.

I've been following the fun and games since release. I absolutely loved
SimCity and SimCity 2000 - played it to death and bought it again
recently from gog.com. I'd forgotten I had the iPad version after
trying out the iPhone version a while ago and deciding it was too
fiddly at that size of interface. iPad one works well, but I'm finding
it very hard to work out why some things are occurring (I've
essentially built a slum town and finding it hard to get land value to
increase, plus I'm permanently short of money).

I think they've been rather busy fixing the utter shambles that has
been the PC launch. Have you read much about what's been going on?
Server overloads, cities just disappearing, mad AI and a tiny, tiny
map. I also was desperate to get this new version, but to be honest I'm
now having second thoughts.

As an aside, I'm reasonably annoyed that an online game requiring an
account is forcing me to choose which platform I buy for. Why can't I
buy PC now and download for Mac when it's ready? Irritating.

Cheers,
Ian

Parks. Makes the sims happy, and want to live there, thereby driving
up the value of the land in the area.

Have they got police/fire/medical cover nearby? Power and water?
You know all this I'm sure. You just got to make it somewhere they
want to live.

I think some of the issues will take more than minor tinkering to
fix. I think the whole region/city size thing is not going to be
that simple to do. The traffic AI I think should be fixable.

WRT server problems, users need to be able to save their own
cities locally. I'm sure they're just gearing up for a subscription
model of revenue generation. :-(

Yup, that is plain old daft. Surely you get a license key and you
can only login the once with it? How can that be a problem?

I may well have 'got over it' by the time the Mac version arrives.

Justin.

SimCity Deluxe was a great game of its era but has now outdated. Maybe I played this game more than anyone else in the world. Nowadays, I'm playing stumble guys game that is a great multiplayer battle royale games. You can get it at https://actiongamesking.com/stumble-guys-mod-apk-2/

In some versions of SimCity Deluxe for iOS, building water pumps and bridges might not be a feature available in the <a href="https://gloryshinestore.com/">game</a>
