I would love this, put on an audiobook, get stoned, and drive around the alps or Southeast Asia. No traffic and no danger

Alps? No traffic? Mate, have you ever tried crossing the Alps during holiday season?

Nope! But why would they program the traffic into such a simulation?

The closest thing to that would probably be euro truck simulator 2

City Car Driving exists, but I don’t know how extensive it is. You can also install mods on ETS2 to drive around in normal cars.

Id say closest game right now is assetto Corsa with mods

Ets2 has trucks, even if you mod a car in it still feels and drives like a truck

I want to rip it around my home town in a fast car, swerving through traffic lool

Isn’t there a thing on Google earth where you can sorta do that?

A modern version of the 1998 Sierra game with real world data would be great. I spent so much time in the freedrive mode on that back in the day.

I think I remember an aeroplane in Google earth lol

I know there’s a very basic version of this online somewhere, you can drive a car on top of Google maps satellite view

Beam.ng has some pretty good maps where you can just drive around. They aren’t quite fleshed out as much but there’s a ton of mods too so you might be able to find one that’s just a Sunday driver.

I’d say assetto Corsa is better right now, beamng feels like a crash simulator or even just a scene creator rather than a proper driving sim

In asetto Corsa I can get real world cars in real world maps and drive it around

You have to simulate a metropolitan police department for a futuristic city. You have to maintain funding by making sure neighborhoods and districts are safe. There would be side missions where you take out the local gangs in that area, discover that there’s a evil, crime syndicate that’s manipulating crime within the city. You have to capture, interrogate, and decide to either charge someone or let them go. Your actions determine what kind of department you run. Are you corrupt? Are you by the books? Do you inspire people to do better, or do you strike fear in the citizens of your city. It’d be completely open world, you’d control your department on an overhead map, assign cops certain roles or positions at certain locations. You maintain relationships with your cops, and you have to go home daily, and hope your second in command is up to the tasks of maintaining things without you. You also have to contend with corrupt cops and corrupt politicians that provide your funding. Do you risk losing funding and your position? Or do you make your citizens proud by upholding the law?

Sad thing is WoW could already be that. But because all focus is on the last expansion, the rest of the vast game is basically dead and devoid of players. It’s not “World of Warcraft” but “Zone of Warcraft”.

Elder Scrolls Online has its fair share of flaws, but the “One Tamriel” update did make all content playable by all players. You see ESO players in every zone, not just in the latest expansion.

Warlords of Dreanor literally had this lol. You would manage a squad of npcs equipping gear and stuff and send them on dungeon quests. It would just give you a percent chance of succeed or not and you would hit go and wait several hours.

Simulator Game Simulator where you play a guy playing a simulator game and have to make sure he doesn’t forget to sleep or get fired but manages to successfully plow that virtual field every time.
