Sims, Trains, and Automobiles (http://simcity.ea.com/dev/automata.html)
"All of the vehicles and people that travel on land - cars, trucks, trains, buses, pedestrians, and whatever else the artists have decided to throw into the game - are called "automata" in the game engine." -- by Chuck Jordan, Programmer


I speak for the little people! And…their cars! Scripting Automata. (http://simcity.ea.com/dev/scripting.html)
"My job is to make 'things' happen when various special buildings are placed into the SimCity world." -- By Chris 'Wombat' Crowell - Designer & Smarty Pants


Personalization: Your City Your Way (http://simcity.ea.com/dev/personalization.html)
"...there are the profound ways in which SimCity is, and has always been, a form of personal expression and realization - ways that I hope we've greatly enhanced in SimCity 4." -- by MaxisJoseph, Game Designer

Region Play (http://simcity.ea.com/dev/region.html)
"Now, your neighboring cities are real cities that you can play." -- By Cricket42, Simulation Engineer


Props (http://simcity.ea.com/dev/props.html)
"With a huge amount of props, lots, families, buildings, in combination with the terrain tool, I hope that every single SimCity 4 game played will have a different look and feel." -- by Tom Vu, Assitant Producer

I have a tendency to refer to males and females as guys and girls, it's partly from my mother's mother talking about HER going out doing stuff with "the girls" and she meant other ladies her age... :D And the guy thing is I guess it feels more casual and normal for me to say than "men." :p

True Fae.
Normally it is easier to say guys and girls. I do to. BUT!! how fun isn't it to use other words sometimes.. :classic: ;) :p And lately I've really come to discover a distinct difference between really boys and "young men". It's really interesting to see..... ;)

Lol. But that doesn't make him a young man.. ;) It takes much more than that I think.. :classic: I have my own little definition on a young man. :classic: ;) and Sam is certainly one of them! ;) he's a real darling. :classic:
