SimCity can be modded to play offline

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/15/2013 08:40 AM | source: | 43 comment(s)

A modder managed to enable unlimited offline gameplay in SimCity with some quick changes to the game. On top of that, he also found a way to access the game's debug mode. Most of the debug features (including terraforming) are disabled in the retail version of the game, but some features like editing highways, even outside city boundaries, are built into the game.

An offline gameplay mod for SimCity isn't available yet, but it's likely only a matter of time before it pops up online. The RPS story notes that Kotaku managed to get the game running offline, albeit for only 19 minutes. An enterprising modder has apparently removed that time limit, enabling unlimited offline play. There are some limitations, of course. According to the modder's Reddit thread, saves and region synchronization don't work... yet. The modder was able to access a special debug mode, though, and that enables more extensive editing than is normally allowed by the game. You can see modded game in action below.

Hi everyone -- due to EA's ToS we cannot allow threads discussing hacking/modifying the game. Thanks for understanding.

I might actually get the game now knowing I won't have to depend on EA's servers. I'm not really interested in playing it online - I've never played SC4 online and I easily put 50+ hours into that game.

I get the impression that the new SimCity is dependent upon neighboring cities of other players, and in a virtual world that isn't a risk I'm willing to take. This isn't real life where people actually give a damn and (should) have qualifications to run a city, and while a game isn't serious if a neighbor screws you over, it's still frustrating.
