SimCity 64 has several advanced features that SimCity 2000 and even SimCity 3000 were missing. Most notable is that the game was done in 3D, making it the first 3D game in the franchise. Players could explore their city by foot, bus, train, or helicopter. Players could talk to their sims and play hide and seek with them for extra money. This is also one of the few console games with modding support. For example using Mario Artist: Paint Studio , they could import a custom Sim.
