residents are unable to find jobs after a while, indications of their long-term unemployment will show when their home rots and is eventually reduced to rubble (and its inhabitants move out). Similarly, if a business or civic building lacks sufficient employees, the buildings will decay and eventually collapse into rubble. SimTown allows a player to monitor the town's condition with a feature that allows players to craft and name a resident, who will provide basic feedback and daily activities through diary entries. A local newspaper is also provided to monitor general conditions of the town. SimTown also awards players with trophies and award ribbons by meeting certain objectives and requirements. There are also several easter eggs hidden in the game. Reception MacUser gave Sim Town a score of 3.5 out of 5, and named it one of 1995's top 50 CD-ROMs. Next Generation reviewed the Macintosh version of the game, rating it 1 star out of five, calling it "A good title for parents whose kids spend too much time on the computer."
