Your goal: make your city an appealing place for other Sims to work, play and live. Get busy constructing buildings and breathing life into a booming metropolis. But why stop there? Create a wide variety of cities and weave them all together: quiet suburbs full of playgrounds, large skyscrapers for a city packed with traffic jams, and even vacation hot spots where your Sims can relax and forget the rest of the world.

The SimCity 4: Deluxe Edition includes the following:

• SimCity 4
• Rush Hour Expansion
The Rush Hour expansion is all about transportation, giving you control over land, sea, and air traffic. Complete several missions in the city to better your approval rating, earning upgrades like more vehicles and new buildings. Soon you’ll have more Sims flocking to your thriving new metropolis.

Taking you from a barren landscape to tall buildings and traffic jams, The SimCity 4: Deluxe Edition adds a new level of imagination to the popular Sims franchise.
