The game is cool, in and of itself. I love building in NYC.BUT... the problem is that this game shuts down everytime the computer does any sort of automatic update. If Windows wants to update (or any antivirus programs... or any other plethora of programs that want to update every other week on modern computers) it shuts down the game and you lose anything you haven't saved yet. I shouldn't have to shut down ALL automatic updates everytime I want to play the game. I play other games, including Tycoon games, Sim games, and all sorts of others, and have NEVER had such a problem. It makes the game unusable... which makes it totally lame. If I could return this, I would.
