Please suggest a town/city builder Game

ohdearme · 27 Dec 2021

I love the realism of City skylines, but I don't want to manage, have finance utilities, medieval villages, monsters or stuff, I just want to build a model village/town like I had as a kid,but on my laptop.

Is there such a game please?

Happy New Year to all.

Hi,

Slightly left field, and not exactly what you asked for - but if you enjoy building, why not try Lego digital designer!

Thanks for your prompt reply, I've had a look, but really want something realistic (like city skylines)
Kind of you though, thanks

Have you thought about using some of the mods, or cheats to enable/disable some of the features in City Skylines?
Some ideas here:

There is an Android game called SimCity BuildIt, this can be played on a PC with a bit of effort, but could be trialed on your phone first!

Minecraft?

Yes, RandomGrinch, I'm going to give this a try. I really love the city skylines realism, just can't be bothered with managment.

I've looked at MInecraft, Freddie, just not realistic.

Happy New Year to both of you.

Only one worth playing is SimCity 4 with the Rush Hour expansion pack.

Trying it

Thanks

Minecraft and the appropriate resource packs can be very realistic.

I didn't know that Minecraft was realistic, I'll try it. Thanks

Sorry, I should have added, are any of these sugestions, towns that I can build without having to find funding, and police and utilities and stuff. I just want to build a model village (English style) and look at it!

I am very grateful for your advice everybody. Kepp well

Ditto Minecraft.
If you plan it right and accept that its all based around what you can do with blocks, slabs and stairs and get creative (and you can) then you can layout entire cities.

There are maps available that are most major cities around the world as well as medieval worlds.

A simple example:

You can spend hours playing it, if you play in single player creative passive mode there will be no mobs/monsters yet you can add the harmless ones like cats/dogs/dolphins and best of all villagers who have different trades.

It all depends how much time you want to commit to it.

Watch Youtube, especially the likes of Grian for ideas.

However if you want to be able to simply place ready made buildings then go SimCity etc.

This thread has been going around in the back of my head!
I was thinking of what alternatives there might be.

Through work, I play with plans in AutoCAD and design objects to be manufactured in Inventor.
Although not a game, I wondered if anyone would go down the CAD route as a hobby, to design cityscapes?
It would be hard work, but the results would be photorealistic!

...then I rediscovered Blender.
It's open source, and with a few add-on's, some beautiful results can be created:

I will have a play when I get a chance!
