I’d recommend Pocket City 2 for mobile. Probably the best casual city sim game I’ve ever played. It’s like $5 maybe less and has no monetization stuff after that.
And the game has like the ability to walk around, drive cars and do activities as your avatar inside the city. It’s new so the dev is still adding stuff. But it’s wild to spend an hour setting up a nice district than race through it with an F1 car for money later.
