Psyringe: Sim City 4: Deluxe Edition is 75% off (4.99$) at GamersGate. The bundle includes the "Rush Hour" expansion and is DRM-free.

Note: Only available in the US (or through proxy / gifting; there shouldn't be any problems with regionalized permissions since the game is, as said, DRM-free.

I'm thinking about getting this. I've always enjoyed the Sim City games - they didn't last long for me, but it was always enjoyable while it lasted. And 5$ seems like a pretty good price for such an experience. :)
Oh, last week it was 50% off (5 pound) on the uk-site. I was also thinking about it, but at that price I decided to wait for a gog release. Now at 5$ I need to rethink this, very tempting offer.

Btw, the UK is a little bit bigger then the US edition, I will need to check for differences.

Good catch. It's only a 22 MB difference though. The most likely explanation is probably that the US release includes the US version of DirectX, while the UK release includes the international version. But that's just speculation, I haven't checked it.

That's maybe the reason. I checked wikipedia and mobygames and found no difference so far. The description on both gamepages are the same. Beside the Rush-Hour addon wikipedia write about smaller addons downloadable from the webpage, like the Brandenburg Gate or Stonehenge, but the link to it is dead.

Edit: Oh for god sake, I buy it. Btw, found some of the addons (Brandenburger)under http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/files.php?cat=42.

If you're going to play SC4 you should download the Network Addon Mod

GoJays2025: If you're going to play SC4 you should download the Network Addon Mod
Thanks! I had seen links to this mod before, but ignored them, thinking "I won't play over the net anyway". Your recommendation made me take another look, and I found out that this mod in fact doesn't address online play, but fixes and enhances the traffic networks ... *facepalm to self* ;)

Any other mods that are recommended? At this point I'm mostly interested in graphics enhancements and (if they exist) huge mega-mods with gameplay additions that have been accepted by the community.

If you're interested in buggy, unfinished games then check out Steam's Daily Deal - 75% off Sword of the Stars II.

Didn't they promise to have this thing patched up by a certain date? Is not that date fast approaching? Any word? I assume this is another Battlecruiser 3000 AD type game...

Alright, I'm guessing they'll fail in their quest to make this playable and pass:)

I'm afraid I'm not sure... I only use NAM myself.

Also, the first Sword of the Stars is on sale as well ($5 for the complete collection).

You've got to say his name three times.
