Installing Simcity w/ Origin defunct
Can I please get a step-by-step on how my problem with installing Simcity (2013) can be fixed? I own Simcity (2013) on DVD. I am installing Simcity on a new Windows 10 machine Simcity (retail dvd install) requires Origin before copying game files My EA login does not work for the Origin installer Thus, I cannot install Simcity at all. Note, I have not previously played Simcity throughout the entire duration of EA Launcher, and if I have an origin account, I am no longer readily in possession of it. However, I do have a modern EA account, A Simcity DVD and an authentic CD KEY. It seems sensible that with these three things I should be able to play a game I have purchased and possess physically. Please advise on how I might install Simcity so I can get Update 10 for offline play.
SimCity (2013) - ALT+W Not Working
Is anyone else having current issues with the money cheats (ALT+W and CTRL+A:T+W) when playing single player sandbox mode? I can use the cheats to toggle the other stuff (fire, crime, control net, etc) but it no longer lets me use the money cheats to add money. I've tried playing in offline mode on EA, removed all mods, and reinstalled the game. Still doesn't work. Is there a fix?SimCity 2013 stuck at loading screen
I recently bought a new Asus Vivobook 16 Flip (Lunar Lake) laptop. My OS is Windows 11 Home. I installed SimCity and I'm having a huge issue. I start the game. It makes me watch the long intro video and then it goes to the main start page with a spinning wheel in the upper right hand corner. The menu never appears. Sometimes if I restart and reload the game it will get to the main menu but when I try and load my city (Titan Gorge) it gets stuck at the loading screen. How do I fix this without uninstalling and reinstalling the game every time? This is ridiculous.
Sim City 2013 Multiplayer: friend's city is completely empty
Hi everyone, My friend and I are trying to play SimCity 2013 multiplayer, but we've hit a game-breaking bug and are looking for help. TL;DR: Our cities don't sync and always appear as empty plots (ghost cities) to each other. This happens on every server we try (EU, NA). We also found a major time desync between our games. The Problem When we play in a region together, the following happens: I can see her city name on the correct plot, but the city itself is just an empty field. She sees the same thing for my city: an empty plot with the correct name. Visiting each other's city just loads an empty map. System Details We are playing on PC, launching through the EA App. I am playing via PC Game Pass (which includes EA Play). My friend owns the game directly on the EA App. What We've Already Tried Waiting for over an hour for the game to sync. Restarting the game and the EA App multiple times. Sending money to force a sync (my game said "Success," but the money never arrived). Creating brand new regions on different servers (EU East, NA East). The bug happens every single time. Key Clues We Found Partial Sync: Basic info like city names syncs correctly, but the actual city data (roads, buildings, etc.) does not. Time Desync: We discovered our games are running on different timelines inside the same region. For example, my city was in "August, Year 1" while my friend's was in "January, Year 1." Has anyone run into a bug like this before, especially the time desync issue? Are there any known fixes we haven't tried? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. EDIT/UPDATE: The Final Nail in the Coffin For anyone following this, I just performed one final test. I tried to use the in-game feature to "Transfer Multiplayer Region to Single Player" to see if I could at least save my own city. The result was exactly what you might expect: the process got stuck on an infinite loading screen. Specifically, it hung while trying to download my friend's city data. This confirms the data for her city is not just invisible, but so fundamentally corrupted or incomplete on the server that it cannot even be packaged for a download. The "ghost town" is, for all intents and purposes, a ghost file on EA's servers. From all regions.
