Think about it, in SimCity classic we didn't have to worry about graveyards, water service, garbage collection and so on; it would be cool to be able to disable some of those services if one wishes to have a simpler experience!
Below are just some examples of the rules we could set before we started a city or a region:
- Enable/Disable water services
- Enable/Disable graveyard services
- Enable/Disable fireman services (also would stop the fire disaster)
- Enable/Disable police services (also would stop crime in a city and the riot disasters)
- Enable/Disable riots without disabling crime
- Enable/Disable garbage services
- Enable/Disable health services (also would stop epidemic disaster
- Enable/Disable education services (would make it so schools aren't necessary for richer people population)
I know it may sound a bit silly, but think about it! Being able to set your own rules in a city or in a whole region could open opportunities for the game to feel more customisable, instead of rules to disable services — for the people who are not sure about that idea — perhaps there could be rules to disable the city rank system or options to enhance to game for those who want to diversify and explore the possibilities of creating a challenge for themselves.
Alternative to the rules proposed:
- Enable/Disable increasing prices for all buildings and constructions (option for those who want a more challenging game)
- Enable/Disable increasing prices for parks and decoration
- Enable/Disable waiting for construction of city buildings
- Enable/Disable fire/riot/epidemic disaster(s)
- Enable/Disable city rank system
- Enable/Disable bulding wait for all buildings in game (for residential, commercial, industrial, etc)
