I have yet to buy it though I have been looking at it and it looks awesome. How does it stack up to Sim City in terms of policies and procedures when building cities that may limit game paly?

I bought Cities: Skyline a few months ago and am really enjoying it. I also bought SimCity when it came out and enjoyed it despite its frosty reception due to always-online and some limitations of the game.

Cities: Skyline just feels like a really complete game - even if theres still more content to come, its easy to pick up and build a fun city. Everything is pretty intuitive and you're able to make much bigger cities (you can buy additional plots). You can also do things like zone and have laws/regulations which actually have material impacts on your city.

Mods are available too, the plot limit is 12 but they're really huge. If that bothers you there's unlimited plot mod but that needs to be run on a proper gaming computer

Well I can't really speak on sim city, (maybe played 30 minutes of SC4) but there are many policies that can limit what your cities do (Like a smoking ban, making them put fire alarms in their houses etc), which effect their happiness.

I guess my question is can you just continue to build whatever you want and see the world go into chaos or are you limited like in Sim City to budgets/taxes, riots, ect? Love the concept of Sim City but would want something more sandbox.

There's an enormous modding scene. If you feel limited by the stock game (I do not feel limited by the stock game) there's almost certainly a mod for it.
