Ooh, a neat list of games that aren't the best city sim ever, and Sim City 4!

FYI, you've got BuildIt on the list twice, and I wouldn't really consider the Cities in Motion series as city building games.

Also, some more suggestions: Synekism, maybe some of the Tropico games (Modern Times expansion, surely?), and - despite naysaying Cities in Motion just before, some of the A-Train games are mostly about city planning and not just the trains.

I considered not adding the "villes/Social styles because I feel slimy just "promoting" said "games", but the way I see lists on GB is a quick way to find similar content, which I was I like the genre based lits on this site.

I'm my goal to complete the SC series, I added it twice in error. Will remove. I probably need to rename this to City Builder/Managment -as I generally wanted to include any sort of "Isometric/overhead city management game" to include stuff like OpenTTD (which I forgot until now), but this may open the floodgates to what I should add.

Synekism looks interesting. I like the idea, but I'll stick to Skylines. Can't belive I forgot Tropicothough.

This is the kind of feedback I needed, thanks.

I see A-train was mentioned. The Metropolismania/2 games probably should be added.
