SC4 player on Windows 10

[Iznogood63 66]

Hello

i’m a Old player of SimCity, from the very first one to no. 5, i have even tryed the online version but did not like it. No, my SimCity are 3 or 4.

I have now tryed to start Sc4 up again on Win10, but like everybody else have problems with that, but in the end i Found the solution.

Get a “No CD” patch and copy it in to your folder, then Sc4 is working again. Yes i have bourght the original CD’s with codes to it.

Well that’s all from me so have a nice day.

ps! I don’t know how to put this help into the Forum under Sc4 technical help, but if you Can you are welcome to get the credit for it.

Okayy let it be very clear! DON’T EVER USE A CRACKED VERSION OF ANY GAMES! (You never know what your getting home at your pc).

My Sc4 was bourght before there was some thing called sream or other digitalplatforms, yes i bourght it in a real shop (don’t look st me that way! I’m not that old). And it has been forgotton for a very long time, but for a couple days i found it and would like to play it again, but Windows 10! Suk suk.

Have the happiest day in your life - Smile!

We cannot condone nor offer support when using a cracked version.

I do fully understand the logic of this being why peeps feel it's ok to use a cracked version, but it does cross a legal boundary so our stance has to be no support for cracked versions.

Not only that, but there are mods which simply won't work with a cracked version.

No worries. I moved it for you.

Just to add, to ensure SC4 works properly on Windows 10 we highly recommend purchasing the game from a legit digital retailer such as GOG or Steam. Personally I've gone with the GOG version because it has the option of a standalone DRM free version which can run independently in its own right.

See my post here for details of how to do that.

Wholeheartedly agree with the above, (See? They did offer some sort of support... ) you should just go and check GOG and repurchase the game.

They frequently have discounts for various games so the chances are, you may get there at the right moment and purchase SC4 cheap.

I mean, I also had an old SC3000 "hardcopy" back in the days which I lost to my ex, but still had a rip of that game stowed away on my hard drive. It came with several peculiar problems, which I'm sure were intentional stick-in-wheels from the developers... 

I just repurchased the game and the problems were gone, so it's really worth it (and not too expensive).
