Due to the 4th of July holiday in the US, there wasn't a SimDay last thursday. However, it is there now, along with some other news. There is some news about SimCity 4: a few articles from the development team have been added, a bit like the articles posted recently at The Sims Online. For instance, there's one article about the buildings in SimCity 4:

"But the point really is, when you pan away from an area, whether it's to place a park, dispatch the mayor, or to have lunch, you can come back, say 30 years later, and still recognize the neighborhood. You might not like it much, but yeah, it's the same place."

All articles can be found here. Besides these articles, there's a news post on the official site that the exchange is being upgraded, and therefore is down until further notice. That's all for this week, hopefully another SimDay later this week, on thursday then.
