But I'm curious what actual 'realism' did it have?

Like the above poster said, the agent model may have been intended to be more realistic, but in practice you couldn't follow a single sim and see a facsimile of reality: they would go to the nearest workplaces and return to the nearest house even if it wasn't 'theirs'.

So where did Sim City 5 succeed that no others have?
