In God Mode, the players build a new city and are able to inflict natural disasters upon it such as earthquakes or volcano eruptions. It is possible to choose the exact spot where the disaster will take place.

Mayor mode is endless. You take part in creating a city, maintaining it, and facing the typical city problems, such as the migration of its population or the drop in income per household. The game emulates the world's economy, financing, and city development.

While in Sim Mode, the player creates a sim, which will live in a player-built city. You can't control the sim apart from choosing where will they live. The sims go through their whole life. After death, their relatives will take their place.
