Your game was released while WindowsNT and Windows98 were current OSes, and the Win 10 compatibility mode for XP is apparently faulty, but is as far back as they even tried to go with the newest MS Windows version. I don't think that either Windows 8.0 or 8.1 would handle your old 1999 game.
If you have the space for an extra PC setup, your local thrift shop has old PCs running the older Windows versions, that you can buy for very low prices.
Have you checked with Good old Games to see which old Simcity they are offering now? They tweak it to run with modern OSes. It's probably the Simcity 2000 version, though. (Edited later: Good old Games has both Simcity 4 and Simcity 2000, and both should be ready to run.)
Have you read the reply? It was edited to add some information, if you want to recheck.
