★★★★★ Absolute waste of money the 10 times ive tried to even access it wow.
★★★★★ Then I read that the M4 Macs are not compatible with this game and you would have to run Microsoft on your Mac to play, which I found was a monthly subscription.
★★★★★ I don't know how this got approved for Mac, but I really want a refund.

★★★★★ Cannot even get into the tutorial, it loads fine but any clickable button is dead and doesn't work.
★★★★★ Although the ratings were low, I love this game so I wanted to get it. After researching online it seemed like it would work. I was looking up if a MacBook Air could handle playing sim city 4 and it said yes. But I…
★★★★★ I could never get this to work correctly on my new MacBook. Worked fine on iMac. Menu systems don't function, speed of game doesn't. It is a total mess on MacBook. This will frustrate you.
37 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Seems the game won't load now because of 32 bit audio issues and no support of 32 but anymore, any impending updates to address this?
★★★★★ I have tried to learn this new version and I have finally given up.
★★★★★ My son loves this, but it hasn't been updated in years.
35 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ I could tell before buying it would not be as good, but wanted to try it anyway - it is ok — but I stopped playing it the first day I bought it because it constantly crashes.
★★★★★ Seems the game won't load now because of 32 bit audio issues and no support of 32 but anymore, any impending updates to address this?

★★★★★ If you get into trouble, don't bother contacting support.
★★★★★ Once you are done with the tutorial there is no more support on what needs to happen.
11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Since it does not auto save, you lose what you do every time!
★★★★★ I had issues 2 days ago opening the app, so I decided to backup all my save data and attempt an uninstall/re-install.
★★★★★ It crashes every 20 minutes or so and all progress is lost.
10 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ But I guess the game itself isn't compatible so I was asking the wrong question.
★★★★★ Renders playing completely useless.
★★★★★ Seems like somehting is wrong
5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ the lack of response to make a version compatible with Catalina is concerning.
★★★★★ I am missing my game, please update SC4 Deluxe soon!

22 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ It was great fun with more to do.
★★★★★ Spent many hours playing this game and always enjoy it.
★★★★★ This game is so much fun, sometimes it gets frusterating but there is mods for that.
15 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ This is the fastest SimCity ever, running on a Mac Studio Ultra with 128GB of Ram lol. So far so good, game works flawlessly. Thanks to the developers for keeping this alive and so far it seems pretty bug free. Update:…
★★★★★ Works great — no crashes at all
★★★★★ This game is perfect, since you can play it for any amount of time that you need to. It runs perfectly on my computer, which is still running MacOS 14.6. I had tried several different versions before coming to this…

★★★★★ That's why you guys had trouble with the UI.
★★★★★ I had this happen before and deleete filess makes it reset and clean up the mess.
★★★★★ I'd give it five stars, just for nostalgia and game play, but for the interface.
9 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ Just got this because I noticed this old game was updated for Apple silicon. Keep in mind max resolution is 1920 x 1080 so if you have a higher res screen, the visuals may not delight. But this is all about the…
★★★★★ The app is lightning fast with all graphics optioned enabled.
★★★★★ It works great: it opens fast, there are no issues with gameplay, and no glitches to be found.
7 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ While the graphics haven't held up too well to today's standards, the gameplay is overall intuitive and addicting.
★★★★★ However, those of you who like trainers to cheat, I'm not sure you'll have an easy time finding those for this version of SC4 on Intel Macintoshes.
★★★★★ seems more user friendly than windows.

Not even 10 seconds into opening I can’t click anything. Cannot even get into the tutorial, it loads fine but any clickable button is dead and doesn’t work. Absolute waste of money the 10 times ive tried to even access it wow.
I bought this because I played the old Sim City back when it originally came out. I could tell before buying it would not be as good, but wanted to try it anyway - it is ok — but I stopped playing it the first day I bought it because it constantly crashes. Since it does not auto save, you lose what you do every time! Waste of $20!
Seems the game won’t load now because of 32 bit audio issues and no support of 32 but anymore, any impending updates to address this?
Although the ratings were low, I love this game so I wanted to get it. After researching online it seemed like it would work. I was looking up if a MacBook Air could handle playing sim city 4 and it said yes. But I guess the game itself isn’t compatible so I was asking the wrong question. After installing it, it seemed perfectly fine. Game was running smoothly. About less than an hour in it just froze and the little rainbow wheel cursor was spinning. After 5 min or so when it stopped I saved the game and quit. Restarted my computer and tried again. It didn’t work still. Then I read that the M4 Macs are not compatible with this game and you would have to run Microsoft on your Mac to play, which I found was a monthly subscription. All in all, I can’t play and wasted my money.
Unable to use the game on my Mac Silicon with Tahoe. Many menu buttons don’t work. Shame.
I could never get this to work correctly on my new MacBook. Worked fine on iMac. Menu systems don’t function, speed of game doesn’t. It is a total mess on MacBook. This will frustrate you.
