The most versatile city-building game.
Combine and connect elements of your city like never before with the ultimate building block tool kit. This innovative, modular approach to city-building makes SimCity Societies accessible to players of all levels, while still providing tremendous new possibilities to veteran players of the SimCity™ series.

Shape your city through its values and priorities.
More than just a city-building simulator, SimCity Societies puts you in the new role of social engineer. Mix and match six "social energies"—productivity, prosperity, creativity, spirituality, authority, and knowledge—to determine the core attributes that will be reflected in the infrastructure of your city as well as in its people. After you plant these seeds you'll witness the evolution of your city as everything from its physical appearance to the sounds heard on its streets adapt to reflect these values.

Build unique homes, workplaces, leisure-time venues, and parks.
Choose from more than 500 unique objects which can be combined and connected in almost limitless combinations. Take inspiration from a variety of architectural styles, ranging from the realistic to the fanciful, rural to urban, industrial to futuristic. And with only a fraction of the available buildings and associated object types unlocked at the game's beginning the possible combinations will only grow as you delve deeper into the game and advance your society.

Share your creations with your friends online.
The most customizable SimCity™ ever created, SimCity Societies not only allows you to modify almost everything in the game, from the buildings, decorations, citizens and rule sets, it also allows you share these with friends online.

Customer Reviews

TERRIBLE!
Ever since I downloaded this game, my system has been falling apart. The game was never much fun anyway, since it kept crashing. I truly regret purchasing this game.

Very Interesting
This is a really fun game. Even though it's got a lot of bad reviews because of its simplicity and many problems, I think this game is very fun and interesting. It really has changed since SimCity 4, which is also a great game, but they are good changes. The 3D engine is awesome(even though it's a little slow), especially since you can see the sky, and I like the sandbox mode, where you can create the city of your dreams! The updates have added more features to the game, so they are a big part of the game. Very Fun!

disappointing step down from previous games
What was perhaps the most disappointing thing in a long list of disappointments about this game was that it did not build off of previous SimCity versions. It threw out everything good and started from scratch, and this SimCity bears no resemblance to the other games I loved. Perhaps most egregiously, it imparts no real wisdom as to the cause-and-effect nature of the ecological and societal impacts of the buildings you place. All in all, not at all fun, doesn't really make any sense at all! And I had such high hopes.
