That is "The Sims". Simcity centers on trying to build just the 
infrastructure, like buildings, roads, etc., to keep a basically 
non-visible (unless you count cars moving on roads) population happy and 
productive. And, its a pain in the butt to play, especially when the 
simulation drops in some sort of disaster. At that point, everything was 
going fine, and now the city is in chaos, all your careful planning has 
gone down the drain, and you have to decide to either pick up the 
pieces, somehow, or get pissed off and just generate more disasters, to 
watch the city burn. lol
