Living as I do in Eastern Maine far from the highway and most forms of advanced transit, I would love to see one city builder game that emulates the experience super rural communities like mine
What it would look like is a "city" full of very low density buildings with maybe a school etc, and a string of dirt roads that randomly spawn an eclectic mix of trailers, forestry lots, the odd cranberry bog or other small farm, here and there a small store or gas station or garage, all spawning on its own with no zoning guidance simply because the road is there, and frequently in complete contravention to zoning guidance, digging their own wells rather than relying on a citywide water network, and a random string of dirt roads spawning and stretching to wherever the people who own the land want them. All connected to the real world by nothing but maybe a pitiful network of 2 lane roads.
To really emulate the rural lifestyle this stuff would have to spawn almost completely on its own, the only involvement of the city being building and maintaining the paved roads and, and maintaining a tiny police and fire presence and maybe one hospital within an hour's drive, and the citizens doing everything else for themselves. I'd love a mod that captured that spirit and made it an integral game mode
