When you install SimCity Update.10.1 17 DLC.Repack-R.G.Mechanics, you are not getting a stripped-down version. You are getting the "Directors Cut." Here is the complete content breakdown:
R.G. Mechanics bundles everything. Here’s the breakdown of what matters:
| DLC Name | Type | Review | Worth Using? | |----------|------|--------|---------------| | Cities of Tomorrow | Expansion | The only essential DLC. Adds Maglevs, Academy (futuristic tech), ControlNet, and MegaTowers. | Yes – it doubles the game’s depth. | | Plumbob Park | Map | A useless grassy plot. | No | | British City Set | Visual | Red phone booths & double-decker buses. Cosmetic only. | Maybe | | French, German, Italian City Sets | Visual | Same as British, different textures. | No | | Airship Set | Utility | Adds blimps. They look cool but don’t fix traffic. | Yes (for aesthetics) | | Amusement Park Set | Ploppable | Rollercoasters & Ferris wheels. No gameplay impact. | No | | Red Cross Charity | Mechanic | Lets you send surplus resources to other cities. | Yes (useful in regions) | | Nissan Leaf Charging Station | Gimmick | Adds electric cars. Negligible effect. | No | | Sony & Phillips Attractions | Promo | A giant Sony TV screen. Pointless. | No | | City Sprint Speedway | Ploppable | A racetrack. Generates minimal tourist income. | No | SimCity Update.10.1 17 DLC.Repack-R.G.Mechanics
Critical note: The repack includes all DLC unlocked, but you must enable “Cities of Tomorrow” at region creation. Without it, you’re playing the shallow vanilla game.
