I literally made a small gasp when this came up in my recommended, this is my favorite let's play's that ive ever watched and between 10 year old me and current me forgot the name of your channel as well as the actual name of simcity ( 2013 ) i've been searching for simcity 4, so when this popped up I've never felt more excited it brought me back to when I would hide my ipod underneath my pillow waiting for my parents to say goodnight so I could watch the newest episode, or finish whatever episode I had started the night before, this brings me back to when I was ten, I am legit so happy.
Big quill18 fan, was curious after noticing the "stats" display for videos and I know that this video is Quills #1 watched video by a massive number. Primarly because he was one of only a few really throwing time at making SimCity videos when it got released. I was gratified to know that through the stats display, out of the 1 million views, he attracted just under 10,000 subs from this one video alone (ignoring the rest in the series of course). That is amazing. There are some Lets Play'ers that get by with just number of subs, but getting that many in 1 video is great Good Job Quill!
If I had watched this video without ever knowing Quill, I would have rejected him outright based on his jaunty hat shenanigans.. A good lesson in never being judgmental..
THIS THIS THIS is what made me spend over 90$ on Simcity. You sir, got me to buy it. It seemed all dandy till the lack of map size, one way roads, and SO many other problems. THEN! just last month i discover'd Cities Skylines. I only spent 20$ on it and it is the best thing ever. Guys, play Cities Skylines.
Lol at this dumb ass. You probably didn't go to school or pay attention because you would know the President cannot make any tax bill. Tax bills are started by Congress specifically the House of Reps. If you knew anything you would know the first term of Obama, taxes were some of the lowest comparatively in US history. The only tax that has increased throughout his whole tenure was the payroll tax which was an exemption that ended and Congress could not agree to extend it so it was allowed to go into affect. Idiots these days.
Lol, that's all you can say? Strong rebuttal bro, you should go learn something about the government now. Really, I'm not a "SUPER" Obama supporter. I'm not a fan of his stance on the NSA, the overkill drone strike policy, and him not being able to get down and dirty with Congress to get some damn laws passes. As well his damming policy of still listening to lobbyists. It's just annoying that people like to spread misinformation. And really, I apologise for calling you dumb and whatever else I called you out on. I'm not an asshole even though I may of came across as one.
This game is so broken, as soon as you leave one square to work on a new one you basically have to build the same fucking shit over again. Plus the old square pause and is not making money as you're working on the new square. Utterly fucking broken.
Highly entertaining and knowledgeable in the game. The best series of Let's Plays I've seen since I found one that got my to buy MineCraft dev. Subscribing. :)
I'm from Venezuela and the only reason that make Hugo Chavez dead terrible, is the fact that now we have a peanut head president. There's nothing he has done well yet.
I am watching these series after 8 years, and really sad that simcity cancelled for some reason, Cities skylines is similar and developed game just like as ıf simcity 2013 would have been upgraded, but not the same, I would like to use all features that simcity had that time like expanding facility buıildings
I remember the first time I watched this back when I was 10 or so. I will never be able to shake "I will try very hard to avoid the word cute" from my memory.
You play with your mother in law? That is probably the most amazing thing I've ever heard. (no lie) I wish any person in my family played games. I am the only one :(

Hey thanks for posting these tutorials! I got this game for Christmas and I absolutely love it! I came on you tube (per my 15 yr old suggestion LOL) to gain some insight on how to better my game play and just started watching this and I love it! Looking forward to watch all the others!
This game had some really cool stuff, spoiled by some bad decisions, likely forced by EA forcing the devs to push it out prematurely and with weird DRM. The modular buildings like police and fire stations, the graphics style of the untextured, but shaded city and the to be placed building wobbling as you move it around before placing it. The music was possibly the best part. The future DLC was cool too. Seeing your city convert over to the futuristic style, adding the giant tower cities...I like Cities Skylines, but it does lack some of the charm that this game had.
Hey! I just came across you'r videos, and I LOVE them. I love watching SimCity, so I clicked this. YOU ARE AWESOME. You are good in thos game, you are entertaining, and you have LONG episodes. I just subscribed. Serriusly, you'r video are AWESOME. Keep up the good work! :D (Sorry for bad English :/ )
I subscribed because i plan on buying it and could really use some good simple advice(what to name the city,what type of city should I start with,etc,etc,etc,you know)you sir fit that perfect guideline help that I need which is great detailed clean & clear speech that gets to the point and is easy to understand. Thank you very very much for your time and energy for these videos!!!!!!!!
Ket Webster I do admit that the game would be greater with bigger maps. Even just a few more spaces would help. But just style, gameplay, the classic Sims humor, and the specializations make me enjoy it more.
When I got this, so called "Better, than SimCity 5 Game", and started playing it... well, let's just say, that I didn't like it. And also, you can't be like: "Uh-oh! My money is running out... gotta zone a bit more!", because, Zoning costs you money. +Ket Webster at least 2*
I kinda miss SimCity. This version wasn't all bad the worst part was the small city sizes but the region and customization was superb. Plus young Quill lol
Came across this on Quill's page...wow Sim City had so much potential! Like many who got it played for 30hrs then bought skylines, i was so disappointed at the time with it, however there was some really cool stuff in this game. The region idea was pretty awesome and i loved the city specialisation, building upgrades and the tools. Unfortunately the map sizes were a huge problem and the much documented launch issues and no offline to begin with. Maybe I'll load it up again give it a try as im bored of skylines, plus quill can remind me how to play it :)
Nice video man. I've been recording and streaming my own games a lot recently and wondering how you set up your camera like that, it looks awesome :) Despite it's bugs and server issues I'm loving Sim City so much I even made a Time Lapse video :D
Hi quill i got some advice because i know you read every comment: there is an amazing way to minimize traffic which is to minimize the number of intersections, and to NEVER place 4-way intersections in your city, only T intersection and L intersections. Also you should use the arc tool to create a non-intersection having corner to your roads
Since quill didn't post the link to the chart in the video description, I will do it here: Simcity 2013 Happiness + other charts: imgur.com/a/gUFqn To download the album use this link: imgur.com/a/gUFqn/zip
This game is really good! I hope that when the Sims 5 comes out, I hope its like this where you can make a region of different cities and places and actually play as one of the families in the cities you made while combining the tools used to make your own houses, venues and households in the sims that would work perfectly to be one large gaming experience!
If you get infected you can literally see the infected file on the mac and delete it off your mac. Macs don't have virus problems, thats a huge plus. You can partition your Mac and install windows in the second partition. But that would split your harddisk into two parts.
gotta say i wasn't too sure about buying this game but after watching your game play it really seems interesting and fun to play providing that they fix origin.
nice LP, very nice format, like the quality and mug and face is not too big. :) As for your planning, you dont want to cross avenue with low density street. You dont get traffic lights. Which means your cars wait for pedestrians forever. You need to use at least 1 small section of high density of the road next to avenue so you get lights.
Great road design! Did you notice that at the first perpendicular road (not where the highway ends, but the one in between that and the intersection in the middle of the main avenue), on the right side, that there is a little piece of road protruding out towards the main road? Can this be removed without deleting the whole road, somehow? It's been bothering me in some way. It just looks... awkward to look at. :P (It can be seen easily at 17:10)
Quill it would be great to see you play this game again in the future! I love both your SimCity and Skylines playthroughs and would enjoy a more recent addition!
Also try to avoid placing your roads in such a way that creates grids, T-intersections are much better for managing traffic, and don't forget about 'shortest path' between all of your Residential -> Industrial -> Commercial -> Residential. If your sims can't get to work, shop and get home within a full 'workday' then they end up unhappy/unemployed.
I really like your organized city design. I'm going to try it. Most of the time, I make a spaghetti-like tangled mess of roads and disorganized chaos and then wonder why I lose :P
quil you've been playing SimCity? WHY AM I ONLY JUST NOW NOTICING! SimCity is kinda fun to watch as someone plays it. I'm considering getting SimCity 4 until SimCity improves.
I have been thinking about buying this but after reading a lot of reviews of the bad launch and things I've been humming and ahhing over it. After watching your video, I'm even more tempted to buy it. Are things working OK now or are there still problems with it?
Yo Quill, just started to watch Eva's cast as well, besides playing the game, watching all you streamers is great fun. But.... how can I record my own ingame experience?? Is there a How to Record as well? Thanks and Cheers.
I enjoyed this video; I've played earlier versions of Sim City, going right back to the early days, but haven't got the latest one yet. Have you had any luck monetizing your gameplay videos? UA-cam never seems to accept the e-mails I get from the publishers, even though they plainly say they don' t mind, or rather, if they do, they'll let UA-cam know.
Well this is a trip to the past
I literally made a small gasp when this came up in my recommended, this is my favorite let's play's that ive ever watched and between 10 year old me and current me forgot the name of your channel as well as the actual name of simcity ( 2013 ) i've been searching for simcity 4, so when this popped up I've never felt more excited it brought me back to when I would hide my ipod underneath my pillow waiting for my parents to say goodnight so I could watch the newest episode, or finish whatever episode I had started the night before, this brings me back to when I was ten, I am legit so happy.
I used to play sims city 1999 in my old computer class in 8th grade. Oh the times have changed
Yeah this is a cult classic series for sure🥰🥰
Let's take a nostalgia trip everyone!
I watched this when I was like 13, god thanks Quill for making fantastic content all these years!
For anyone interested, check out Cities: Skylines for a good city-builder, it's basically an awesome version of the game this should have been.
+Stephen Crawshaw But it doesn't support 32-bit
Does the man in the bottom right corner come with this game?
that is the recorder XD
you did know that right
he didnt XD
woosh

This is the very first video of his that I watched! :D 3 years on and still checking in to see what he's up to!

This was back when he was a young whipper snapper! :P now he's older and wiser haha

Definitely the best SimCity Let's Play that I've seen yet.
You, sir, have earned another subscriber.

This is my first video, and I'm currently liking this video a lot!

THIS is what made me spend over 90$ on Simcity. You sir, got me to buy it. It seemed all dandy till the lack of map size, one way roads, and SO many other problems. THEN! just last month i discover'd Cities Skylines. I only spent 20$ on it and it is the best thing ever.
Guys, play Cities Skylines.
+Kyle Sirloin (Saucypotty) how did you spend 90 dollars on SimCity. It's retail price when it was new was 60$
+GentlemaN you actually bought the Deluxe Edition? After you knew the game was bad?
Well then now you know that the fed's are WATCHING YOU!!!!!!!
The funny thing is simcity complete edition which contains everything is only $37 approx. So how you spend $90 on it. Plus simcity is the original
For a second I thought it's Simcity 1. Still looking forward to watching your old series. You look spectacular btw.
I searched simcity on youtube. You are the first thing I clicked on. And I'm hooked within a minute.
it should be called Sim Suburbs 2013
How do you do that without. Raising taxes I always end up raising them up to 15%. My dad says "who are you Obama???"
lol he is right
Raising them to 15%? Sounds like to worlds greatest taxcut to me
*****
well raising taxes is a obama thing, probly what he meant lol

Like everybody who is now playing Cities skylines instead of this shit
***** its 2015 about time to have 64 bits
***** wtf how do you still have a 32-bit processor.
This game is so broken, as soon as you leave one square to work on a new one you basically have to build the same fucking shit over again. Plus the old square pause and is not making money as you're working on the new square. Utterly fucking broken.
***** if you have 4 gigs of ram there is absolutely no reason to have 32 bit os
it does not improve your pc speed in any way
True Words :D
Feels like yesterday when I first watched this nearly 8 years ago. Time be flying.
Highly entertaining and knowledgeable in the game.
The best series of Let's Plays I've seen since I found one that got my to buy MineCraft dev.
Subscribing. :)
This video is so interesting that I didn't know I was sitting at my computer desk for an hour!!! lol
The only thing that kept me from liking this video was the Fedora.
yeah, for Simcity a Top hat or a construction helmet seems more appropriate - until the casinos are built.
I'm from Venezuela and the only reason that make Hugo Chavez dead terrible, is the fact that now we have a peanut head president. There's nothing he has done well yet.

i wish i could play simcity :(
Its amazing how much this game has evolved since the very first SimCity for "Windows 95"...
Doubt you are going to read this quill but i enjoy this lets play so much I'm watching the hole thing again!
amazing gameplay and entertinment u just earned urself a sub CITIES SKYLINES IS A KNOCK OFF OF THIS
Why does evryone say that Brussels is fremch , Its from belgium !

I was disported in this City's are to darn small. Cities skylines it lot better because we can make much bigger citys
To be fair, Skylines is 2015. Still, Skylines ftw.
a 2 years difference is nothing now adays. 2012-2014 is almost the same.
