I’m not the only one! In addition to the base game I also have the tracks for the expansions as well. My programming playlist also has Sim City 4 and Streets of Sim City on it too.
I also like to listen to SimCopter’s soundtrack on YouTube from time to time. While I like listening to high fidelity audio in my main playlist, hearing the intense compression artifacts and the in-game advertisements makes me feel so nostalgic.
