Merge Sims with SimCity

i'd give it a chance.

I was thinking of purchasing some of the SimCity series, but I was not sure which one. I watched some reviews, and saw people liking The SimCity 4 better than The SimCity 2013, because of the better gameplay, and in spite of the lower graphics. I saw that The SimCity 2013 was actually very limited because of the higher graphics quality, so one must wonder, does the better graphics automatically mean better game? I believe no. And better graphics are also the reason why we need to have loading screen each time we travel in The Sims 4, so that is another proof of better graphics destroying the overall game quality. And I am sure that there is a way to create some cute and pretty lowered graphics that would not require a supercomputer to play, but would also look appealing. That would be some real challenge for the developers.

Maybe I will go for The Cities: Skylines in the end. But, since The Sims evolved from The SimCity, it seems logical that these two should be merged together. Why to have The Sims withouth their SimCity, and why to have The SimCity without its Sims.

you could call it

sims city

...i'll show myself out

Maybe as a spin-off game or something but not as a mainline Sims game.

That was just my assumption, that the first criticism of the idea would have been the graphics and overall computer requirements needed for such a fusion of two games, because there is already no open world in The Sims 4 because of the heavy graphics, and that The SimCity 2013 has very limited cities in size because of the heavy graphics.

It is still a graphics vs. gameplay debate, where some people prefer better graphics, while some other prefer better gameplay, that is probably why some still prefer The Sims 3 over The Sims 4. I am not a hardcore gamer, and I don't have a powerful gaming computer, as probably the majority of the people who play The Sims. But if The SimCity and The Sims would be merged in one game, then I promise I would buy a new and powerful computer just to play it, lol.

It would be awesome to have a possibility to create a city, with roads and streets, and different types of buildings - residential, commercial, and industrial - and then you place the Sims to live in residential areas, and to go to work in commercial and industrial areas, even if it is a very limited city like in The SimCity 2013.

For the price of 2 EPs you can get a decent video card (on sale usually) from $300 down to $100. I would put my money into a better machine and play the better graphically intense games rather than a watered down version of The Sims and Sim City hybrid.

Nope.

*runs away from lower graphics* anything but that! :s

Yes, something new. Not redo the same game over and over again.
