A great price for one of the all-time classic and great games.

Note: Despite what the Fanatical site states this game is for (and works on) both WINDOWS and MAC.
It has been verified working fine on Windows.

Nothing really needs to be said about this game but here is some info anyway:

From the website:

From Mayoral duties to God-like powers!

Build and manage the city of your dreams with the latest major installment of the SimCity franchise in SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition. With this Steam key, players will get access to franchise best-seller SimCity 4 as well as the all-new SimCity 4 Rush Hour Expansion Pack.

SIMCITY 4
Create the most massive region of cities ever, with a farming town, bedroom community, high-tech commercial center, and industrial backbone. Take complete control of your city's transportation system, and solve U-Drive-It missions — from fighting crime to tackling disasters.

Head into God Mode to create the land on which your city will grow, and even create natural disasters like erupting volcanoes and tornados to test your city's resilience.

Watch your population skyrocket as you get your Sims on the go and create the ultimate living, breathing megalopolis — the most expansive SimCity 4 compilation ever.

SIMCITY 4 RUSH HOUR
Have the ultimate level of control over your city's transportation network by completely taking charge of roads, rail, air, waterways, and even vehicles. U-Drive It! missions will be presented for you to solve, such as chasing down a bank robber or apprehending a car-jacker.

Choose from all-new road types including wide-avenues, suspension bridges, or one-way streets, as well as map out seamless regional networks that whisk Sims from one city to another. Wreak havoc with all-new disasters including a UFO invasion, massive wrecks at railroad crossings, and the occasional car fender bender. There are also all-new tutorials available to help you get started.

YOUR OFFICIAL SIMCITY 4 DELUXE EDITION STEAM KEY GIVES YOU:

  • Create an Entire Region of Cities — Weave together a tapestry of cities linked by a fully integrated transportation network and watch them share and compete for resources.
  • Wield God-like Powers — Sculpt the landscape to create a world based on your imagination, then summon volcanoes, tornadoes, meteors, and lightning.
  • Be a Responsive Mayor — Build a world-class city with stadiums, airports, universities, and real-world landmarks. Deploy emergency vehicles and join in the action as they battle blazes, mobs, and more.
  • Get Insight from Your Sims — Read the rhythm of the city, from commuter hell to mellow cruising, noontime crowds to night-time calm.

Enjoy!

    Operating system: Mac ?

      • deelaroo on 12/05/2019 - 11:16

        What does the Steam link have to do with the deal link? The deal link states requirements only for Mac, so like clokeyyy I'm scratching my head about purchasing as appears to be some Mac specific key or whatever.

        • Lysander on 12/05/2019 - 15:34

          The game is for both Windows and Mac.
          The key will activate the game on Steam and then you can download any version available there.
          Hence the Steam link showing both systems.
          Plus, if it was only for one OS I would have spevified that.

  • amsaini15 on 11/05/2019 - 22:52

    Purchased. Thanks OP. Will be good to introduce to my 10 year old son.

    • Lysander on 11/05/2019 - 23:58

      Great. I hope your son will enjoy it but I am sure he will as it is fun and easily accessible. Plus there are lots of mods.
      Good for you too as you won't have to buy lots of extra DLC to make the game complete.

        Lol.. Just introducing game to my kid as it will be good for him to learn what all it takes to run a city.

    Anyone who buys this definitely needs to check out the NAM mod. It fixes a bunch of issues, improves the simulation of traffic, as well as adding a bunch of new transport items and options.

    Better off buying Cities: Skylines to be honest… far better game.

    • Lysander on 11/05/2019 - 23:05

      Ha,ha,ha.
      Lots and lots of people think otherwise.

        Maybe I'm too simple but I found Cities Skylines to be a bit too overly complicated to be enjoyable in short bursts in the way that Simcity is.

        • Lysander on 11/05/2019 - 23:55

          You are not too simple - you are right.

            Is it an animated GFIY ?

                @Lysander: I'm not the one making unsubstantiated claims…

    • Could Be Better on 12/05/2019 - 15:37

      But most Macs can't run Cities Skylines. I have the top of the line 2018 13" MBP and it struggles to run a tiny town at 20fps on low settings…

    • tof on 13/05/2019 - 11:34

      Agreed. No need for fanboism.

      Been a fan of all the SimCities and still love all of them however once you've played Cities Skylines it's really hard to go back to the archaic and unpolished SimCity.

      SimCity requires extra unnecessary tinkering to get things done whereas the modern competitor is more intuitive which is to be expected given tech advances over the years.

      I have both games but would never choose to play SimCity 4 again unless feeling nostalgic.

    will this even run on windows 10?

    • Lysander on 12/05/2019 - 00:30

      Yes. Plus there are plenty of mods that should also work with it.
      Maybe check forums on Steam for it, too.

      • INFIDEL on 12/05/2019 - 07:20

        Just that the link to Fanatical states Operating System: Mac with only Mac OS requirements - no Windows listed.

          I bought this the other day and didnt realise it was for MAC only…. downloaded and wouldnt actually start on my PC. Did some digging and realised why it didnt work…

          • INFIDEL on 12/05/2019 - 12:26

            @Xany84: Thanks👍 You saved me the price & frustration of a failed purchase!
            Decided to wait until this was confirmed.

        • Switchblade88 on 12/05/2019 - 14:21

          That might be a typo - it's a Steam key, and the SC4 Steam page lists Windows and Mac specs.

          @Xany84: are you SURE your download didn't work because Steam gave you the Mac executables?? This is an old game, there are apparently a myriad of reasons for it to be incompatible and require some tweaks to run. I didn't think it was possible for Steam to mix up their downloads!

            @Switchblade88: Downloading again now, will post with results soon :)

            @Switchblade88: Seems I have to apologise, steam did give me the windows version, I had to tweak the graphics settings though quite a bit to get it to work properly.

              @Xany84: No worries. Glad you got it to work.
              Only a bit disappointed that the mod so eagerly changed the OS in title (now changed back) without checking first but all good now. Hope you have lots of fun with the game.

            • INFIDEL on 12/05/2019 - 19:48

              @Xany84: Thanks for confirming works on PC.
              First purchase from Fanatical. Confusing how they stated Mac OS required.
              Bought. Works fine.
              Upvoted Deal👍

    Is this always online to play still?

      No. You are thinking of a different version.

    how long does it take to get the key? mine is still pending after a day?

  • pizzaguy on 14/05/2019 - 09:36

    Doesn’t seem expired, even though the countdown on the product page is gone.

    • Lysander on 14/05/2019 - 09:38
      +1

      It is still available but now costs $6.74 AUD. So the deal for $2.69 AUD as stated in title has expired.
      If you reported it, maybe undo the report as the expiry is absolutely correct.

      • pizzaguy on 14/05/2019 - 13:28

        It was still $2.69 when I commented and reported.

        • Lysander on 14/05/2019 - 14:38
          +1

          I am sorry but you must have looked at a cached site. When I expired it (which was before you commented), I checked and refreshed on two different browsers and a mobile - it was all at the higher, different price.

          • pizzaguy on 14/05/2019 - 15:18

            @Lysander: I tried as much as I could to refresh it properly : ) Was still showing 90% off, but yeah, it's obv over now. Thank you!

  • Adamson on 14/05/2019 - 17:32
