It is! It’s called Sims (couldn’t call it Cims for copyright reasons of course) and there is this whole mini game where you can build the details of your house and level it up. So awesome.

I think the point of what’s cool about this feature is walking around the city you built

It makes the game feel like more than just a city builder. It’s a fully fledged world editor now!

Absolutely! And if there was a way to take my home/neighborhood and sims from Sims and walk right into Cities: Skylines.... that would be very cool

That's the Console mod, and possibly one of the best "sorry we can't get you what the PC people have" features ever implemented.

Therefore we have Mods, so many that they reach the horizon and far beyond ... With them you can fulfill even the dream to fly, to drive every car you ever wanted to drive & build cities of history and future.And with a decent Pc you can have cities which are from the space 9 times bigger & even more citizens.

SimCopter
Fuck yea, easily one of my favourite games as a kid. It was mind blowing to see the city you built in full 3D while flying a chopper above it.

Apr 08 '19
I grew up playing sim copter. It's amazing that, even today, there aren't games that have the integration that second gen Sims games had.
I also had streets of simcity, which allowed you to race cars in the cities you make in Simcity 2000. That shit was mind blowing to me as a kid.

Best news ever, my friend. This video was FILMED on Xbox! This feature is built into the freaking game. Press the back button to go into your cinematic view camera (HUD disappears) and press Y to bring up your panel options. You can pick between: - Walk - Drive - Free camera - Cinematic camera

I tried City Drive a while back because of a similar thread in which people compared it to Consoles freeroam function and that was pretty disappointing.
City Drive allows you to spawn vehicles with a path to an endpoint you can define and places the camera in the vehicle. That's all it does. You can change lanes by tapping the arrow buttons and change the speed modes by tapping + or -, but you can never leave the freeway or turn into a road without setting the entire path beforehand. It's all pretty similar to building a busline and then using first person on one of the busses.
The mod also says you can control planes and trains, while all you can do is increase or decrease speed.
So, u/xoxonicxoxo , if you're still up to it, don't expect freeroam. It isn't the same, you're very limited.
7
Apr 08 '19
I posted 2 Mods, I can say that City Drive is pretty disappointing for everyone who wants to drive on it’s own, but it is good if a you just want to relax and let the game do it for you. Freewalking on the other hand is so, that you can Control the Person and the vehicles, this is for the people that want to do it on their own.

u/Unknown-Tru7h Apr 08 '19
So far I’ve been blown away with what they’ve supported on the Xbox version! Awhile back I felt like they were going to stop supporting it, but they didn’t. And I recently read an article that they’re going to extend mod support for the game by creating a way to port PC mods over to consoles. I can NOT wait for something like that in this game. Only thing it’s missing is custom skyscrapers, manual building placement, map themes, and custom map downloads. Soon hopefully!

The f? Console is really behind the PC version, yet this feature only exists there. And then they will say it's "impossible" for the PC even there's mods already on the Steam Workshop that has similar features. -_-
