Having played many city building games though I’ve always desired more depth and realism. Like the more I play them the more I want out of them. I wish power lines were limited in capacity and had to be stepped up and down via transformers (Workers & Resources does this) I wish I could make decisions about every intersection and every lane (cities skyline mods allow this) etc. Anyway I think there’s an audience for more realistic games in general, even if most people would find them less fun.

At a certain point these simulators would be so intense that your joy for the game could be your joy for real employment in a city :)

The statement reversed, you might loose your joy because working in the game is no longer fun.

I get you but just want to say: careful what you wish for :)
