   Makes me want to play Sim Tower again.

   There’s something so satisfying about watching a machine just dutifully work through queued tasks like this.

      If you liked SimTower, Project Highrise is worth taking a look into.

         Project Highrise doesn&#x27;t have elevator simulation. Elevator is just portal that teleports the sim to proper floor.

            Yeah, the fact that Project Highrise doesn&#x27;t handle the transportation part of the game means that it never scratched the same itch SimTower did.

               Yeah, maybe that&#x27;s what was it.

               Tbh, while I bring up Project Highrise whenever someone mentions SimTower, I did always feel like it was missing something. Something always felt slightly soulless about Project Highrise.

                  For me the issue is that it doesn’t look and sound like Sim Tower. Which I’m sure is mainly just nostalgia but that’s still a valid reason why I probably love it so.
