SimTown is a city-building simulation game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. It was released in 1995 as a spin-off of the immensely popular SimCity series. Unlike SimCity, which focuses on managing an entire city, SimTown allows players to build and manage a smaller town or neighborhood. In SimTown, players start with a blank canvas and are tasked with developing a thriving community. They can construct various types of buildings such as houses, schools, parks, and businesses. As the town grows, more options become available, including additional structures and services.

SimTown review
Electronic Games (1995): "The company that built its rep on Sims is reaching out to the younger set. SimTown is the perfect way to introduce children to the intricacies of resource management, designing roadways, determining where buildings should go, etc. Maxis also included Start-up Towns and Fixer-Upper Towns so players can jump right into management. In keeping with the SimCity tradition of disasters, SimTown can be hit by one of five Eco-Villains (Timber Thief, Food Pig, Water Hog, Litterbug and Air Polluter) as well as natural disasters like drought, fire and earthquakes. The personalization feature is charming (users get to name characters, pick their clothes, etc.), and the only glitch is the musical fadeout, if SimTown is run on an Apple CD300. Otherwise, a fine program, with marginal adult appeal for grown-ups who find SimCity too painstaking."
