From the start. And when SC2000 happened we were teased with the idea that THE SIMS would and could be a PART OF SIMCITY.
Over the year there was no will to do much of anything to make this happen, opting for degraded 2.5D engines.
How they developed The SIMS really was exciting and opened up so many ways they could be super important in building amazing SIMCITIES and have grand adventures w a new STREETS of SIMCITY ( NOT any of the U-Drive it...stuff. That was a big step backwards).
Anyway the grand vision to unite ALL the SIMTITLES still has not happened.
Every time I play THE SIMS now I always hit that wall where I can't become Mayor and World Build in SIMCITY fashion. The Cities/neighborhoods are not alive or connected in any meaningful way and even if you do change their environments ( all green ) it has no impact on SIM moving in/out or the economy.
Since SIMS 2-3 another big step backwards has happened. There is little autonomy like there used to be. Criminals would commit crimes and Detectives would catch them. Riots would break out at City Hall for demands, etc. etc.
Before I expire I would love to see the grand vison happen and SIMCITY, STREETS, COPTER etc. return as the KING. I'm sad others have now been allowed to take those crowns with no pushback.
WILL WRIGHT HAD IT ALL and set up MAXIS for ULTIMATE success and it was thrown away.
My two cents anyway.
Cheers and best.
