I would like to add some friends to play with so If any of you still plays it and would like to share with me their username Id appreciate it and would love to add you if thats alright with you.

After many years, I wanted to play SimCity Societies but wasn't able to, because the Sims wouldn't go to work or enter buildings. Thanks to AI tools, I managed to find a fix. It was related to a Windows language culture mapping bug. In my childhood, I thought I wasn't skilled enough to play the game or understand English — but it was all because of this bug :')
I want to share this solution with people who want to play the game but can't due to this bug.

Here is the solution:

If your sims walk around fine but never enter homes, workplaces or venues, and every workplace, shows 0 jobs completed — it's the Turkish "I" problem. The game compiles its C# AI at runtime. `Data\Scripts\FNV.cs` hashes every string ID with `Char.ToLower(c)`, which is culture-sensitive. On `tr-TR`, `ToLower('I')` is `ı`, not `i`. The native engine uses `i`. So `DataID("Inside")` — the interior access point of every building — never matches. `Outside` has no capital I, which is why walking around still works.

Fix: open `Data\Scripts\FNV.cs` as Administrator and change both occurrences (lines ~79 and ~117):

    Char.ToLower(c)   ->   Char.ToLowerInvariant(c)

Save, restart. No compiler or tools needed, Notepad is enough. Start a new city — DataIDs are serialised into saves, so older cities are built on the broken hashes.

Current population is 300k and commerical demand is skyrocketing. Most of the towers so far are residentals, but few commercial skycrapers can be seen and only ploppable bats are the diagonals on those islands and peninsulas (well of course schools, railwaystations etc.)
