There is a new SimCity coming - Highrise City https://store.steampowered.com/app/1489970/Highrise_City/

Let's hope they learned from their past SimCity and they do not repeat their mistakes
This is just another city simulator, but it doesn't appear to have anything to do with Maxis/EA. In any case, I hope they do better than the others, because the last city builder I enjoyed was SimCity 4. Cities: Skylines has a lot more flexibility, it had some obvious improvements, some of which are just natural of improved computer technology. But, I overall found it a lot less enjoyable. I put hundreds of hours into SC4 but C:S I stopped after about 30. A lot of this has to do with the game being so broken without a handful of mods, but those mods make this single-threaded game run a lot slower than it already does. C:S seemed to prioritize creativity and customization, allowing you to build a city the way you want it to be built, and make minute tweaks just about anywhere and in any way you'd want. I think that's great, but they sacrificed a lot of realism and some of the challenges as a result. So, what I hope from Highrise City is that it has the same level of immersion, customization, and detail as C:S but more of the same gameplay mechanics as SC4, while being able to properly utilize a multi-core CPU.

I didn't mean Maxis/EA. Read it as "SimCity", as genre. Yeah, Cities: Skylines has a problem with mod API. Every new major version breaking a lot of mods. They can't get API evolution under control. It should be successive and expansive. Not a redesign with every major update. Though I hope one day Transport Fever will implement urban planning (zoning) tool, so cities could be larger or just a single large city.
