City Specialization

• Specialize your City

  For the first time, create truly unique cities with different specializations. Mayors seeking intelligent Sims can build a college town full of libraries, community colleges and universities. Specialize in Big Business such as Casinos, Electronics, Coal, Trade and more to increase the wealth of your city. Each specialization has major benefits but drawbacks as well. Educated Sims unlock technologies that will benefit your region but large universities are expensive to maintain. Casinos will bring tourism and raise Simoleons, but also attract unwanted crime and poverty.

  Create Unique Cities

  City specializations will influence the look, feel and personality of your city. As you invest your town’s resources in a specific industry, the look of the surrounding residential, commercial, and industrial areas will adapt and change to fit your new enterprise. Build a coal mine and watch as coal breakers and factories pop up in the industrial district. Build a casino, and watch as the surrounding houses become high-end condos, and the commercial businesses become brightly lit tourist hangouts and hotels. Plop a university and residences will transform into frat houses filled with partying Sims!

• Endless Possibilities

  Mix and match specializations to build over a thousand different kinds of cities. Choosing to specialize your city will have lasting affects on both the city and the region level. Combining specializations is particularly advantageous. A region with both a casino to bankroll its operations, and coal deposits to provide mass power, together offer enough Simoleons and energy for the entire region, so you can focus on building Great Works and designing your ideal cities.
