Those interested in the SimCity 4 modding community can buy a copy of SimCity 4 Deluxe version 1.1.641 that's compatible with the mods via several modern sites, with most SimCity modders recommending the version purchased from GOG.
Holy cow it's so expensive for an old game, my jaw dropped, guess GOG stopped localizing prices. It's more expensive than Ready or Not, without a sale.
Yeah, fuck EA. Even the Sims 3 which came out in 2009 is still $20 for just the base game. All 19 DLCs are also $20. But wait, you can get the game and all the DLC packaged in a bundle for the low low price of just $190 (on Steam).
Absolutely ridiculous even without considering that you need an EA account to play legitimately which is a whole other pile of crap.
