Disable Cities of Tomorrow

Before anyone comes out with the typical "use the search" retort I have searched high and low to no avail. Has anyone found any way of disabling it or are we stuck with it once we have it?

Uninstall SimCity completely and re-install the vanilla game.

I honestly never even considered that, I just assumed Origin would automatically download the expansion... /facepalm

Reinstalling simcity won't disable the expansion because I origin will redownload the expansion as part of the installation process.

The Maxis/EA of today never fails to astound me...

Looks like you are stuck with the upgrade...    Hopefully If you really are desperate buy another game and log on with a new user name and go from scratch..  Start a new private region and use both users in the region as a thought!

Simcity has gone from garbage to rubbish, I still wonder if anything in this game is really worth it, since I gave it away to my neighbor's kid.

Hi MayorKodiak,

 

Everybody have the full content of the game on their PC: all the DLCs, Cities of tomorrow. Everything. All is tied to your origin account with activation codes. If you buy COT, it will be activated when you play the game (on any PC/MAC) with your account.

 

So COT cannot be "Uninstalled" nore it can be "deactivated" after you bought it. And you deleted the game from your PC/MAC, Origin will put back all the files again (approx. 3.5GB).

 

The only control you have: do not plop anything COT related. Usually, the icon have the hexa blue backgroung to tell you the park or building will futurized the city. You can look at the futurization data panel to see the futurization effect on your city.

 

And even if you don't have COT activated, your cities can be futurized or get some effect of it by Omega drones if another player in the region who have COT is using it.

 

Best option is to play private in multiplayer mode Online or to play in single player mode offline. Like this you will have the full control of the region as you will not futurize anything.

 

Last option but not the best one because you have to by the game again: Create a new Origin account and buy the standard version only.
