Featuring an all-new, revolutionary feature set, SimCity Societies allows you to create your own kinds of cities and shape their cultures and environments. Make your cities green or polluted, contemporary or futuristic, rural or urban. Create an artistic society or a police state, an industrial city or a spiritual community—or any society you want!
The most versatile city-building game.

More than just a city-building simulator, SimCity Societies puts you in the new role of social engineer. Mix and match six "social energies"—productivity, prosperity, creativity, spirituality, authority, and knowledge—to determine the core attributes that will be reflected in the infrastructure of your city as well as in its people. After you plant these seeds you'll witness the evolution of your city as everything from its physical appearance to the sounds heard on its streets adapt to reflect these values.Build unique homes, workplaces, leisure-time venues, and parks.
Choose from more than 500 unique objects which can be combined and connected in almost limitless combinations. Take inspiration from a variety of architectural styles, ranging from the realistic to the fanciful, rural to urban, industrial to futuristic. And with only a fraction of the available buildings and associated object types unlocked at the game's beginning the possible combinations will only grow as you delve deeper into the game and advance your society. Share your creations with your friends online.
The most customizable SimCity™ ever created, SimCity Societies not only allows you to modify almost everything in the game, from the buildings, decorations, citizens and rule sets, it also allows you share these with friends online.

- Huge Disappointment
I've played all the Sim games that have been made.This was by far the most disappointing game they have put out.

- So Much Potential
This is an absolutely revolutionary game. If you've become completely in tune with all the aspects of the Simcity series (like me), then prepare to be flipped upside down. You still build and run a city, but it's very new.
This game only has small ties to its predecessors. You work on a much smaller scale landwise, but it's much more involved. Every sim makes a difference. In this game, you have to work with six genres of building aside from actual money- productivity, creativity, authority, ... Read More
Rating: - Doesn't work
This product has a lot of bugs. It didn't work on my brand new computer or my two friend's brand new computers. I went back to the store where I purchased it and got a different copy and it still didn't work on those three computers.

- Could be fun but is limited
Being completely new to the Sim thing, I liked how easy this game was to learn and how simple the strategy was. However, it crashes a lot (sometimes up to every 3-5 minutes). The crashing has rendered the whole thing unplayable for me. There are other problems as well: building on anything but a perfectly flat surface is difficult-to-impossible, which makes design far less enjoyable. There are also just not enough building types (or diverse enough building styles). The placement of things and roads ... Read More
Rating: - Constantly seeking more memory
You need way more memory available than they say.It takes however much just to load it on, but then it autosaves every few minutes an entire additional file.It freezes my computer after I play for about 20 minutes and I have a lot of available memory.I haven't even completed a decent sized city yet.Maybe it is just my computer, but it is a certainly a disappointment for me.
