The historical inaccuracies are grating to most people with brains. 2) Where is the Chicago architecture? Where is the limestone? Why is the street using some medieval European stone? People come from all over the world to stuffy Chicago Architecture. The attempts to pass this sim off as having any sort of Chicago style is criminal and a turned knife in the hearts of any architecture buff. Why not just call the Sim “Roaring 20’s” and be done with it. Don’t besmirch the name and style of a great city when you have no intentions of any sort of historical accuracy. We Chicagoans love our city dearly, please show us some respect. Umm, I have some issues with Chicago 1900.
