    I discovered that Windows 8 is not compatible with the CD version of Sim City 4, and that's really disappointing...

     

    This is probably a stupid question and hopefully something I can hold onto...

    Is there any way that EA can make some sort of a patch that can make Sim City 4 compatible with windows 8?

      No, unfortunately not. The issue is Microsoft removing SafeDisk, an anti-piracy software, which most older EA cd games need to open. Microsoft would have to add it in, but that looks unlikely.

      Thanks for the reply, but is there any way I can get SafeDisk? Is a Mac compatible for old EA games? Or should I just get Windows 7?

      If you're going the Mac route, be careful. I'm not 100% sure if any version does, but Aspyr on the Mac App Store does not have nightlighting and remember many mods are in exe format. By far the easiest solution is by a digital version for W8 from Steam, GOG, etc as these do not need SafeDisk to operate.
