can't play SimCity on PC "EA App"

Every time I hit play on SimCity (2013) It says "this game needs administrative privileges" I hit OK. Then it says "An error on our end has caused the launch to fail" It has said it 20+ times. PLEEEEASE help, I also can't uninstall the software, and repairing literally does nothing, I don't know what to do in this situation, so please feel free to help a Simmer out, would'ya?

In 2013, there isn’t a way to speedup researches for a max level academy, is there?

Even on 3x speed, it feels really slow

I unboxed, installed and played SimCity 2000 on my Pentium Windows 95 PC - First time playing this game in many years and it was a lot of fun! Did you play this growing up or do you still play it? I am a little ashamed of my city, I will improve!

SimCity (2013) regional services

I just got back to the game since launch, and discovered theres quite a few of thems. Does anyone know of a mod that allows for all cities in region to share services regardless if they are in the same "cluster" or not?

Not enough freight shipments

I'm building a gambling and tourism city in my region and didn't assign any industry zones on purpose. I have a city in the region that has a surplus of freight and I assumed they would send shipments over to satisfy my shops, but they are complaining anyway.

Is there a way of getting shipments without industrial zones? I tried building shipment terminals through the trade depot but apparently they are only for export.

Does somebody play SimCity on MacOS?

Dear Reddit, i’d like to play SimCity on my MacBook Pro. ATM I can’t play it on EA, cause it’s a 32-Bit game. Now I‘ve found the App for €20 on the AppStore. The reviews are horrible. Does somebody play it via app on MacOS?

Simcity 3000/4 Strategy Guides

Anyone know where I can find an electronic color copy of the Simcity 3000 and 4 strategy guides put out by Prima Games years back? All of the copies that I have seen online are in black and white.

Anyone here with programming background who wants to help me recreate SimCity 2013 in Unreal? I have 3D background.

I LOVE Simcity 2013... it has everything i want in a City building game but its small maps really annoy me and makes me feel like its such a wasted potential not to release a sequel.

I know what I am asking, it monumental undertaking but I am willing to learn what I need to learn to achieve it.

My Goal is not money or fame (Would be nice though) but a 1:1 recreation of the game in Unreal with better graphics and larger maps. I need someone who can help with the coding and i can make the assets, I have some experience in animation but my background is mainly environments and asset creation.

This is a long shot but hey, what the hell.

Custom buildings don't work in SC3K, and neither does the Building Architect

Soooo... I want to get into SimCity 3000, but for some reason whenever I try to import custom buildings, they don't show up. When I go in the Building Replacement Manager, they'll appear on the list of custom buildings in "Edit List", but when I actually try to import them, nothing happens.

Also, the Building Architect will not open. At all. I've tried everything; compatibility mode, running as admin, nothing works.

I have no clue why any of this is happening; I know it's an old game, but I figured it'd work okay since I can boot up SC3K itself fine.

SimCity 2000 - Do stuck trains affect traffic?

Do they negatively affect sim transit and need to be blown up every time?

Or is it just a visual glitch?

I'm on the GOG version of the game if that matters.
